Hi Jay : there's a problem with the game popup : it says :

Hmm. Thanks, NiKo, for letting me know. I wasn't getting the same thing, but I have changed the link to go to the deviantART page where you must then click on the "Download deviation" link to view it full size.

Not ideal, but hopefully that will prevent others from getting the same thing you were getting.

Very fun game. I've played this before, and it seems random, but a good pattern will trigger a lot of points. You might start slow, but then get 10x the last score you got. I just got 2160, but my last max was only 172. Make sure every time you get a big score to click reset so you get a new board.

This game is awesome. Simple games tend to be amazing like that.

Ok... so if my main goal of the game became making sure all the arcs faced the same direction and figuring out how to arrange each row/column to get the maximum effect, does that indicated some OCD'ish tendencies?

Reply

lol @ Victoria!

You're definitely an OCD candidate. =p

Reply

Alright, I just got them all facing the same direction! It's kind of interesting how they group themselves after a long combo has been done.

Reply

I'm a bit of a geek, but does anyone know what the maximum possible score is?

Reply

And i thought my 959 was impressive. Guess i should go play some more. huh?

Reply

haha!! Finally hit over 2000!! 2051 points. I know others have more than that but for playing it only three times so far... 2051 is pretty good i think.

2152 - this was my highest...
gosh this game is addicting

Reply

so far my highest is 2154. like victoria i also made them face the same way. I am so totally ocd.

Reply

You know... i bet their's some kind of loop you can do in this game where they all turn a certain way and somehow begins like it did when you started but i can't prove that for sure yet.
(might understand me more if you dont reset for awhile and see what you can do)

Reply

So far i've had very lo0ONG results on my loop theory but i've only gotten up to 2,546 because of how slow it was counting.
If someone else would try this for me that would be great cuz im getting a little tired of rearranging the arcs

dam. . . i only got 755. . . o well, better luck next time

Reply

woot! 1056! thats my highest yet! :P

Reply

My top's only 2274. I've started to get into the habit of trying to get all the balls placed in the same direction. I cant stop myself!!

Reply

whoah and i was so excited when i got a score of 832... ah well. it's a very simple and nice game and fun to just watch...

(oh yay! new high! 1001. palindromes are pretty)

Reply

I got up to 2587 with my very own pattern.
1. Arrange all tiles in the upper right direction
2. Click on the upper left tile, and every second upper tile from there on (plus the upper right tile).
3. Click the lower right tile

However. It is not possible to do an infinite loop in this game, because the four tiles in the corners wont be able to be rotated again when facing the corners. Meaning the corners are somewhat deadends. Once these tiles can't be rotated, they form new corners, where the proximate tiles will face the same problem and eventually can't rotate etc. etc.

I believe (after some thinking), that the maximal score would somehow be 2^32*4, based on the maximum number of rotations of the tiles.
(Cornertiles can max rotate once, thereby the tiles next to them can only rotate twice, those next to them only four time and so on an so forth)

the game wont start... the game screen is just white and it doesnt do anything..

Reply

well its working for me now...though awhile ago it wasnt.

Sorry, I should have put a note up here. I contacted the author, Mark, about the game. Apparently deviantART decided to take his work down for some unknown reason. Therefore he has given me permission to host the game here at JIG. Cheers, Mark! =)

I'd never thought I'll ever see this game ever! Wasted god knows how many hours when I found it in the DAsphere.

Reply

I managed to reach the whopping score of 6243 by arranging thetiles in a "circuit" around the edge, with a few other tricks thrown in.

Reply

You can spend ages trying to get all the tiles to face the same direction. Pointless but fun.
