Blurrz Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Bahh, this game is ridiculously hard. AAA's score is impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephie23 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 How long do you think the challenge will be open for? (how long until a new game...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aminbel Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 What's AAA's score? And is there a handy dandy link to the coverage on the challenges? I know you guys cover it but I have no idea where to find the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masaryk Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Ooh! I like this game a lot. I think I have the potential to get pretty good at it. I've played twice, and both scores were around 2000 points. I'll be aiming to beat AAA later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Ohh, cool, you and another TDN trial staffer got into the Top 17! xD I was looking forward to this game, but I haven't tried it yet, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejoker1986 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Wow this one is gonna take some work. I will have to trying playing it later. Maybe TNT will lower the score by then, since they raised the score for the last game. I hope they keep releasing new games like this though, it will make getting Top Gamer a lot easier ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndsie Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I tried playing, but I couldn't get anywhere near AAA's score. Hopefully tomorrow it will be lower than 3500. If not, I'm never beating him at this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephie23 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I just tried it and on my first go I got 2407. So AAA's isnt too far out of reach! :P I'll give it another go later, its just SUCH a long game! :P took forever before I died lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali Cat Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 It's not that bad ^^ I suggest lasting as long as you can on lower levels by getting those extra bubbles. The later levels are too hard. When I beat AAA, the majority of my points came from levels 8, 9, and 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I tried playing, but I couldn't get anywhere near AAA's score. Hopefully tomorrow it will be lower than 3500. If not, I'm never beating him at this game. AAA's score is only 2500, not 3500. :D So don't worry, it's definitely possible to beat his score. You'll just have to try a lot more than that easy as peas Pinball game :P Lol. So good luck to the both of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordnitemare Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 First time got both Abigail and Lulu. But I guess that's pretty easy to do. I'll admit, getting AAA will be a lot harder, since I suck at Faerie Bubbles to begin with. However, I shall persevere! I did get up to half of AAA's score last time. All I need to do then is double it. And how the hell did people get in the 9000's? Good on 'em I say, but still... Unfortunately, in playing any game, my attention span is pretty short so...ooh! Butterfly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noog Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I love this game. It is really easy once you get the hang of it. Probably the easiest 1000 neopoints I have gotten since kass basher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 OH! A background! I'll break my mouse trying to get it lol Anyone have any tips or tricks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 AAA's score is only 2500, not 3500. :D So don't worry, it's definitely possible to beat his score. You'll just have to try a lot more than that easy as peas Pinball game :PLol. So good luck to the both of us! Not, it's 3500 :P I got tired of the game on my 4th try and started to shoot randomly to get bigger Spinacles to work with. Also, if you do chains, you get more points. By chains, I mean when you manage to explode some spheres, then the next turn you explode more and so on. If the sound is on, you hear a crescendo everytime you manage to add to your chain. So basicly, you don't want to end levels quickly, as Alice was mentionning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noog Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 OH! A background! I'll break my mouse trying to get it lolAnyone have any tips or tricks? It took me ten levels to realize that you can bounce the spinacles off of the borders of the screen :guiltysmiley: I'm sure we might be able provide some tips soon, but spinacles is a very complex game with lots of things to find out about it. It might take a while to figure out all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 A definite tip or trick is to not finish the levels as quickly as you can, as Ali & Xepha suggest. I got 1,000 points off of level 8, just because I took so long to do it. Still couldn't achieve 3,500 though haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blurrz Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Sigh., I had a 6,897 score... and then the score wouldn't send. Frick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalhana Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I've noticed on the later levels that the ball that is going make you die flashes....and if you release a second ball quickly to make it spin away from you then you won't die. You die if it stays flashing to long on you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just beat it though, I got 3670 by level 7 and quit :) its really easy to do.. but it still took forever.. (i did that on my second try :P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aminbel Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Ah, okay. On my first try I got 2017 and the second try was about the same, but that was finishing the levels as fast as I could. I'll try building more in the ealrier levels. The bounce pattern is so strange though. It always bounces opposite of how I think it should, if that makes sense.

BlackJaguar Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Finally did it.. I shrink levels 8, 9 and 10 but i don't finish them right away. i build it up again then shrink them again. When i got to level 11, i'm already above 3500 so i just quited.. :P now it's time to hoard those shields.. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
