AAA's score to beat is 99000 and Abi's is 20000.

You can win a tasty cake from Abi: bak_wizardcake.gif

AND!

You can win this awesome wearable table from AAA: gif_magicball_table.gif

I haven't seen what Lulu's prize is yet...

 

Any tips?

 

EDIT: I LOVE this game! It's so much fun. Should be easy to get a highscore to. I ended my game & submitted my first score at 125K: it's being reviewed

Play the numbers mode...

it's the easiest one (I think). You kinda have to make the longest chains as possible and don't let the green tiles drop at the bottom or you're game over the next turn.

I beat Abigail's score just now and will probably keep trying to beat AAA. I like the game. Not a fan of playing it on the words mode though because it seems to much like other word games. As a math major, I love making number sequences though.

Just got a score of 230k, hope that gets me the gold trophy :]. I'm thinking it might, considering the game just came out, but who knows. Some people are just crazy good at games :P.

 

Also, I've tried all of the "versions", and numbers is definitely the way to go.

I've only tried the numbers, but I beat almost beat AAA on the first try. It took me a few more attempts because once I actually realized what the slimy green tiles did, I focused on them too much. The way I see it, if you just concentrate on making super-long chains, you don't really have to worry about the green tiles until the later levels.

I like this game ^^ I played it in the numbers mode and beat AAA fairly easily.

I ended my game as soon as I knew I'd beaten him though.

Getting on the high scores list is just impossible for me, no matter what game I play or how well I play it >.<

I played the numbers mode and it was really easy. I didn't play any other mode, but I can assume that numbers is easy. I stopped at 100k. I'm lazy and I only like playing as far as the 1k np and I didn't know what score I needed to get for that with this game.

The numbers method is super easy! I beat AAA, no problem. But the word mode is hard. I used to play a lot of Bookworm before I found Neopets, and I had never been defeated at it; my games would always end because my computer would crash after being left on for three days with the game running. But the Spellseeker word mode pwns me! I got 62000 as my highest score.

I really like this game. Yesterday I tried the symbols, but I couldn't beat AAA. Today I tried the numbers, and I beat AAA.

But with my lower scores, I got 1000 np every time, so I think I'll continue playing this game because it is so easy to get np from it. :) And the game itself is fun.

took me a while to figure out what to do with the symbols: they have to be the same! I got a sequence of 25!

numbers can fluctuate up down, like in the card game "lair" or "cheat" 1,2,3,2,1,2,3,4,3,4,5,4,3,2,1,2 like that.

 

I got more than 1/4 million points and I am not even on the top 100 list! wow, people are doing insanely well at this!

this game on words mode is a lot like bookworm, which is one of my favorite internet games. :D i'm having a lot of fun on words, but it seems everyone thinks numbers is better to get a high score, so maybe i'll try that just to beat AAA.

 

edit: oh wow. that was super easy. lol.

This game is giving me absolute fits. Anything over me trying to send one score magically triggers their review garbage. Be it an 18k score or a 70+ k score.

 

I got this mail from sending in a bug since I did not feel that my review for a 35k score was beleivable.

 

Hi,

 

Thanks for the inquiry you submitted!

 

Our data indicates that the score you submitted falls within the range of scores submitted by players that cheat at the Flash games. This does not mean that you are cheater. If you did not cheat, our other indicators will let us know that, and you have nothing to worry about. Unfortunately, what the scores are to trigger a review and what other indicators we use for determining cheaters can not be shared as it would only aid cheaters. If you get a message that your score is under review from a score submitted for any of the Challenges, that score will not count towards that challenge due to the time constraints inherent in challenges. Your game score only applies towards your high score if it is one of your first 3 game plays for the day for that game. If you have more than 3 game plays and are in a Challenge, your game score will only go towards the Challenge and not the high score table or NP reward.

I would think that if you want to review somthing look at those 5-6-700K scores What does someone sending a 10-20-30-40k score stand to gain? There is no avi to win from it, no trophy, no high score table.

 

So if you are sending too low scores, or scores to fast.. watch out.

 

I am soo freaked I hae already started sending my prized treasures to my husband to hold onto for me in his SDB just in case. I did not want to send them to my gallery account, just in case you know?.. 6 and a half years of playing, and being a premium member and such I do not want to lose everything because their script is psychotic.

I have also had three scores up for review. This game is extremely easy in 'numbers' mode, in the early levels. If you get a high level score, not just a high overall score, then they review your score. Unfortunately, if a nice board happens to generate, then it's trivially easy to get a really high level score. Yesterday, I scored 9900 points in the first level, because I was able to make a 33-tile chain. I also got score reviewed after racking up 42000 points in a single chain, which included two gold tiles.

 

As far as I'm concerned, the score review thresholds are way too low for this game, for people who are good at sequences. I don't try for really high, trophy-worthy scores; I just want to make my 1000 neopoints as quickly as possible. I'm just worried that this game will end up like Darigan Dodgeball, where TNT will never get around to reviewing all of the ridiculous scores that people sent, so I'll never get my neopoints for my legitimate game scores.

 

I think that TNT needs to play test their games a bit better, before deciding on review scores for new games.
