May still be far off from the highest scores you guys are getting, but for me, this is a big achievement, quite an awesome score(s) for myself. It took me about a half a dozen tries of warming up before I actually beat any games of it, but once I did I kept at it, only losing one time somewhere in between all that, also, only chose to record scores for games completed. Anyway, broke my previous high score (113.590) from last year (8/22/08) a couple times over, and quite a bit at that. First stage I don't know why but 90 something percent of the time I lose a marble or two, those ramps are difficult to run up, though the one lost in my last game I just missed the ramp all together. Second stage is always easy, third isn't so bad either, but the fourth stage, ugh, this is where I usually lose multiple marbles, especially at that last spot with the hammer things, though I did pretty good that last game. Fifth stage only has one difficult spot, though I am getting better at those odd slopes. Stage six is actually one of the easier stages in the game, not at first of coarse, but having had a lot of practice I can zoom through this one really quick sometimes without even losing a marble. Okay, never bothered to pay much attention before, but I see how those high scores can be earned, have a shitload of time left over at the end, each second equaling 1000 points, and don't die so much otherwise minus 1000 points each death, I thinks I can improve my game, I'll give it some more attempts when I'm up for it. But still there's one thing that I'm puzzled by, what causes the magic wand to appear when it does, seems so random, its a good thing, gives you more time, though sometimes the damn thing appears at the most inopportune times.
