Really?? In that case, here we go again, neglecting cats, housework and

I swear I am never playing this game again. I canNOT clear the screen and it
makes me angry. I think I play it too late at night but that is the only
time I have for "fun". However, it makes me SOOOOo mad to get way up in
score and down in bubbels and then LOSE. AAAAARRRRRRRGH!

I was like that for the longest time (which is why I was too ashamed to let
on that I was even playing it) - I would keep losing at some ignominious
score like 5,000.  You just have to learn the strategy.  First, since most
other games are timed so that you have to think fast and be quick on the
trigger, you tend to try to go too fast trying to burst bubbles at first.
You have to learn to slow down and plan your shots.  Second, you need to
keep in mind what color the "upcoming" bubble is so you can clear other
bubbles out of the way with your current bubble to get a scoring shot with
the upcoming one.

I just beat my own record low "win", 48,710!

My lowest winning score is 31 650. That is pretty low. Can anyone beat that?

Are these the low scores after it doubles when you clear it?

I cleared the bubbles sometime in the past week with a score in the
mid-twenties; it was mainly luck. More often than not I can't clear
the board.  I wish I could read the directions/rules; I'm still not
sure what the box on the upper right hand side signifies.

It didn't strike me until I started clearing the board occasionally
that the concept of "winning" isn't completely obvious.  I guess the
object is to clear the board with the *lowest* score, which seems kind
of counterintuitive.  I initially played thinking that the object was
to rack up the highest score possible, but after you play awhile you
realize that if the goal is to get rid of all the bubbles that
wouldn't make sense.

Sure wish I knew Dutch-I bet the explanations are right there on the
site.

The Dutch explanation doesn't say any more than you already know by now.

Oh, no, you don't! You don't lay the blame on anyone esle. It's all your

And I thought I was good at 203.000.

Nooo, I gotta program, I gotta design, I gotta find new customers, I
can't afford to play again and besides I hid the link well enough!

I've got to do something about that too, since I've *got* to work on a
cross-stitch piece that's going to be a wedding gift for friends of
mine [the wedding's the 28th!].

I tried the Bubbels game, and got bored with it.  On the other hand,
I seem to have become addicted to the Snoods game, which is fairly
similiar.

Yup, same here.  Snoods seems to be much more fast-moving.

I've got a snood game on my cell phone. Its like blackjack, but its like you
are are playing on four seats at once. The aim of hte game is to use up all
the cards dealt and score the maximum number of points. Every time you get a
21, you get points, each "seat" making a different number of points (ie, if
you get a 21 on seat 1, you get 100, if you get a 21 in seat 4 you get 400).
Once you get a 21 (there are wild cards that imeediatley maek whatever hand
you've got into a 21) you start again, and if you go bust, that seat has to
retire. The obvious tactic is if you *have* to go bust, you go bust on the
lower scoring seats first. Its addictive, but drains alot of battery power,
do I don't play it very often.
