I haven't managed to get a lot of playing time in this week, but hopefully I can hit it hard this weekend. I'm trying to learn as I go. The retries aren't really much help since they don't reset the timer. There have been times that I realized what I had done wrong, but didn't have enough time left to finish the puzzle on the retry.

Typical Tusk and his sideways entries!  Not sure I"ll have time to try again.  Love this game though.

Can we pause the game and take our picture if we can't make anymore moves instead of waiting for the continue screen so there's no risk of the countdown clock running out?

Based on his score, I'm convinced that arnpoly is Stephen Hawking.

I can't believe I screwed up on 4-9. I never made a mistake there before. I've got as far as 4-10 in the past and I got complacent. At least it's better than I did last year I guess. I may try more runs before the end, but I don't know since I haven't got much farther on practice runs before this week and I've been screwing up a lot before this.

I think I'm done too. I've been playing pretty much nonstop since yesterday afternoon and I couldn't even get within 2 million of that score. Great job!

Piggybacking off of Bimmy's original post I present my own Puzznic poem.

Ahem...

I put in the time to submit a score
Increased it so much I couldn't anymore
Played to the point where it made me sick (not really)
I'm through with the game they call
Puzznic

Did anyone get to the point where they where trying to speed run the levels. I have to say about the first 10 stages I was averging 3-5 seconds other then one where I can beat it in 1 second. I had lots of fun with this

I'm glad that I finished 2nd, but I only managed to get 21.7% of your score! Congratulations on the win!

Wow, that may be the largest margin of victory in these contests.  And on a busy week for me!

Maybe someday I will be able to beat the entire game without continuing. 

In my run I made it to 10-5 without using a single retry.  I ran out of solutions!

I dunno, Tom smoked me about that bad in the finals of the 2013 summer tournament when we played Life Force. I finished 2nd, but I'm pretty sure that he more than tripled my score. Gutsman finished 3rd and I think Tom doubled both of our scores combined.
