Jo Firey - 17 Jan 2005 23:26 GMT Very good. I don't think I've managed a score under 50,000 yet.

Ginger-lyn Summer - 18 Jan 2005 18:09 GMT >26,690 :) :) :) That's a *low* score. My goodness, I must be *horrible* at this game.
Ginger-lyn Too embarrassed to post her low score, although she did clear the screen for the first time the other day! Woo-hoo!
Gabey8 - 19 Jan 2005 01:47 GMT LOW score?
OK, I admit that I came onto the Bubbels scene late. But I guess I misunderstood the goal of the game. (I wish I knew every language, darn it! ;o) )
Anyway... can someone point me to a link to a post where the actual goal of the game is explained? Clearing the screen, I understand. Low score, though -- that surprises me.
Aagh. LOL. It's bad enough to find a game addictive, at least let me play it properly, too. :o)

badwilson - 19 Jan 2005 02:55 GMT > LOW score? > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Donna It doesn't say anywhere if you should try for a low score or a high score, but a low score makes more sense. I mean, you can keep playing and playing and purposely miss bubbles just so you never clear the screen until you have a huge score. To try to clear the screen as fast as possible is more difficult. -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!

Jo Firey - 19 Jan 2005 02:56 GMT > LOW score? > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Donna None of have the actual instructions. But we learned after a while that it is far more difficult to clear the screen with a low score than it is to run up a high score.
Once you learn how to clear the screen, and if you've got it down to three or four colors you can keep going darn near forever.

Victor Martinez - 19 Jan 2005 14:56 GMT > OK, I admit that I came onto the Bubbels scene late. But I guess I > misunderstood the goal of the game. (I wish I knew every language, darn We have both options, high score and low score. For some people aiming for a low score is more difficult than aiming for a high score. However, a high score has its difficulties as well. You can't just keep missing shots, because the bubbles will keep increasing in number and you will lose very quickly. :)

I chicken out around 250,000.

But htey just wouldn't arrange themselves to give me an even break, and I could never clear the screen. Eventually I got tired and started making dumb mistakes, but by that time, I was getting 6 lines coming down at once, and once I made a few mistakes ina row, the game had ended.
My final score - without doubling I may add - was 194k. And d*mn I pissed off when it finished without the satisfaction of actually winning.
Still, I no longer play so obsessivley. I can go for up to 24 hours without thinking about bubbels now.

I get right down to a few bubbels, of maybe three colours, and then another colour appears in the cannon that isn't on the screen! Howl! And this same colour is waiting in the wings too! A colour that isn't on the screen, now that's diabolical cheating if you ask me.

You can well imagine the choice words I had to say to it.

My lowest is in the 24K region, and I've never even come close again. It was almost like the screen cleared before I got an extra line of bubbels.
I'm still aiming for a super low score and will stop once I've got below 20K. Or at least, thats what I tell myself....
Yowie (Can clear the screen probably once in every 3 or 4 games now)
Cheryl - 19 Feb 2005 02:51 GMT > Yowie > (Can clear the screen probably once in every 3 or 4 games now) When I first started playing bubbels, I never imagined that you can gain skills to get better. It seemed like luck. But I know what you mean. I can now clear almost every game I play. My score doesn't get lower, but I can clear it. My lowest is still in the 30K range. I know I'm in trouble when I nearly clear the screen when under 10K because then it gets harder. :)
