At long last, a new game has been released on Ferry Halim's Orisinal.com! It's been just about a year since the last game, but as always, it was worth the wait. Every flash title on Orisinal oozes with beautiful artwork and gorgeous music. They're like playable pieces of art that are astonishing to the eyes and ears and just happen to be fun to play as well.
Winterbells is a very simple wintertime game with the same elegant presentation of all Ferry's work. In Winterbells you control a snow-white rabbit who hops onto falling bells as they drift down from the night sky. Use the mouse to move the bunny left and right and time your jumps to keep moving upwards. The longer you stay hopping the higher your score, and pouncing on a bird gives you a nice bonus. It's a wonderfully atmospheric coffee break game that's perfect for this time of year. Click.
If you like Winterbells, be sure to try more of the excellent games on Orisinal, such as A Dog for all Seasons, A Daily Cup of Tea and Bugs.

I love this game! i think this is my new favorite orsinal game. a lot of the others can be kind of frustrating. but this one is relaxing and fun at the same time. plus its the only orsinal game where i feel good about my scores. usually. i just got my newest high score
1,539,278,298
I know others have done better, and I know I can too. My bells were only worth about 4500 by the end.
One thing I noticed which is useful if your main goal is pure points... after a certain point it appears that the bells stop at a minimum size. Once you're there you don't need to try to hit every one of them so much, you can just try to keep moving up to get more and more birds.

Birds double your score.
I don't know any of the other games on this site, but love this one.

So, I know the Orsinal games don't really have stories, but I've decided this one does... at least in my mind. In my mind, the rabbit is one of the rabbits from japanese mythology that lives on the moon. He's trying to get back. This drive to get that poor rabbit home pushes me to play the game harder.
strangely, i beat my high score, getting 2 billion... but when i fell, the game didn't recognize it, still saying my previous score of 1.5 billion was my best. Odd.

This is also a semi-good game for Tablet PCs (sadly the space bar is used to start the game).
Sounds like another potential tag to me...

The game seems to track large numbers correctly but only display the first 10 digits. Your previous score was probably 15 billion, or 150 billion, or...

I seem to be having trouble accessing this game from the link above in Firefox at the moment. Earlier the link worked but now it doesn't. I'll try to access the game from elsewhere.

my score was 17 billion, but considering how it limits the high score to only 10 digits it could have been 170 billion. who knows :)

this game is incredibly addicting, and my friends and i have been playing it non stop to get us through exams. my high score as of now is 50,555,035,921,065,317 i played for about 10 minutes straight to get there, and i have a picture on my friend's phone to prove it, but i have no idea what that number is. what comes after a trillion?
Posted by: byron | December 18, 2006 5:09 PM
That would be "quadrillion".

the score counter was only able to keep up with me to 17 digits. i had alot more points than that, and every bell gave me over 18k. thats when i got bored and intentionally fell.
Posted by: leo | December 20, 2006 6:56 PM
good game and nice
Posted by: umair khan | December 21, 2006 7:15 AM
Apparently you can't go over 1 billion, I had well over a quadzillion points, it looks something like this 1025960115094454623. The picture I uploaded only shows 10 of those digits
Posted by: Ronald Fernandez | December 21, 2006 4:33 PM
I have the same problem, I thought I scored 144 billion, but then I looked at the high-score and saw only 4 billion. Then this happened : )

A big tip for all those people asking how you get those ridiculously high scores. Try playing it on an old computer. I played on my work PC, and could only get around 26000, got home, played on my brand new computer with good laser mouse, got over a million. Then played on my 4 year old computer with optical mouse. Everything was slow all the way up to 56 000 000. (hehehe), of course landing on the pigeons helps as well.
Awesome Game!!!

My highscore wasnt showing the right number, so I found the program options file for winterbells and it showed my score as 9.75924641416644E31.. anyone have any clue what that is
Posted by: bored | January 12, 2007 11:53 PM
lol. E31 is scientific notation; it means *10^31. Since your score was 9.75E31, let's approximate it as 1E32, which is 1*10^32 - that's 100 * 10^30, or 100 nonillion points.
For reference: One, thousand, million, billion, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion, nonillion.
That's one heck of a lot of points.
btw booiii: That's nowhere near a googol - googol is the term for 10^100, or a 1 followed by a hundred zeros. Your score is also in the nonillion range, which is only thirty zeros.

Posted by: ruesap12 | January 20, 2007 7:06 PM
its weak that this game has a score cap but my top game was about 1500 bounces (determined by 10 points per bounce) mark your scores by bounces from now on

It May Be More but as some of you have said there is a limit to how many digits you can see on the high score board.

I got a highscore of 704 quattourdecillion. That is over 27,600 points per bell. It took me a long time to get that high!

Posted by: hank_razor | February 27, 2007 4:12 PM
hello fellas, IMO you can see only 17 digits because the best scores are exactly 17 digits long. But in fact i think they are better.
Posted by: me | February 27, 2007 4:17 PM
For people with ridiculous scores, the scores eventually transition into scientific notation (probably once you cross that 17 digit barrier, dunno for sure). The last two digits tells you how many digits there are, so a hypothetical score of 12345678901234567 would be 1.23*10^67, thats a 1 with 67 digits following it. You know you're in scientific notation when the last two digits don't change for a really long time and if your number ends in anything other than 0. Dunno what happens if you hit a googol.
Posted by: Learn | March 18, 2007 3:02 AM
lol, a friend just got 24 xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx high score. its so dumb that you cant see it on the high score =/ anyways, he got 11.6k per bell :P..

58 quadrillion thats 58,000,000,000,000,000
i was hitting each bel for around 10,500 when i fell Took about 20 minutes and i missed 1 or 2 birds on the way up. the high score is higher but the box is not big enough to fit all the didgets in. im not sure about the top left hand of the screen but didnt look at that.
hitting bells for about 7000 and the heart pace picks up arms start shaking pretty bad :'(
Posted by: Jonny | March 28, 2007 7:12 AM
great game :) like all orisinal games!
my only critique is that the mouse cursor is really distracting, i wonder if there is any way to hide it.. and sometimes it got off the screen and you loose control over the bunny.

I took a break from this game for two months. Then, I started playing it again. After a few attempts, I got a new high score of 7.054x10^72 points. The bells were worth over 42,000 points each and it took over an hour.
Posted by: MCM | April 26, 2007 5:42 PM
The game can only show 17 digits, and it only shows 17 digits on the previous high score.

I have trouble playing the game because I'm easily distracted. If you look away for a moment, you fall.
Posted by: solider23876 | June 28, 2007 7:10 PM
Hmmm... I've been playing for about a year and have noticed the same thing some of you guys are noticing; the game can display scores no higher then 17 digits. I've emailed Orisinal about the problem.
The more emails the better! Get to it! :)
Posted by: Ben Frania | September 15, 2007 1:56 PM
Hey, everybody! The score board now shows more digits! It happened this night! I now have a 14-digit hi-score up in my game! I hope it works for everyone else too!
Posted by: ghostsotp | September 22, 2007 8:12 PM
I think this game is really neat. It reminds me of the children's book "Runaway Bunny" that my grandma read to me when I was little, so it also has somewhat of a sentimental value for me, as well. Really fun and enjoyable.

I dunno what My highscore is but since you only can see 17 digits, it's hard to know :P, My record in this game is about 25600/per clock, and since you start from 10 I guess that's quite a lot xD
Posted by: :O | January 3, 2008 3:29 PM
I love Winterbells, but it will no longer load for me. I can play other orisinal games, but for some reason winterbells won't load.

YAY! I got 25,861,657,585,081,617. (That's 25 quadrillion!)
Just missed the next bird, too. :(
Only reason I got this high, too, was that my computer was laggy at the time, so I decided to give the game a try again. The game ran much slower, which helped in timing the landing on the bells and birds better. ;o)

I played this game for hours on end. Sadly I only had a high score of about 50 billion. There is a site that has the winter bells music though.
