I thought level 11 was tough.

I think 25 is impossible.
Title: Re: Here's a game sure to frustrate you
Post by: ignom on March 15, 2005, 05:13:06 PM
I finally beat level 25. I'm quitting now before my brain melts. Time for 14 minutes of Curveball.
Title: Re: Here's a game sure to frustrate you
Post by: eo000 on March 15, 2005, 05:14:43 PM
why just 14?
Title: Re: Here's a game sure to frustrate you
Post by: ignom on March 15, 2005, 05:20:53 PM
I go home at 5:30.

Level 26 was easy.

I feel left out.

That square game is hard!

Curveball bored me.
Title: Re: Here's a game sure to frustrate you
Post by: Jessie on March 16, 2005, 12:41:28 PM
37 squares.

Damn it.

Oooh, circles slow it down.

I'm golden now!
Title: Re: Here's a game sure to frustrate you
Post by: Jessie on March 16, 2005, 12:45:01 PM
Ok, maybe I was wrong. 

SOMETHING slowed it down before.

52 that time.

I'm stuck on 23.

Circles do different things. They can do slow motion, make your square smaller, give you 1000 points, stuff like that.
Title: Re: Here's a game sure to frustrate you

The red circle made my square gigantic.

I didn't even pay attention to how many points I got.

I'll report back soon.

My highest on the circle game is 92 circles.
Title: Re: Here's a game sure to frustrate you
Post by: Jessie on March 16, 2005, 01:09:02 PM
3655 points with 59 squares.

Catching red circles just to see what they do is not a good idea.  Just a little pointer.
