Deteacher Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Well, I managed to improve on my score, but not enough to really post it. Still trying to crack 7K. Some things I've noticed (for me, anyway): 1. The longer I play in one sitting, the worse I get. I usually have my best game(s) right off the bat. By the end of my session, I'm having a tough time clearing the 5th level. Anyone else have the same thing happen to them? 2. I actually play level 7 BETTER with only 2 buckets. When I have 3, I just can't seem to keep it going. 3. Level 6 seems to be harder than level 7...mostly because the mad bomber tends to drop a large group of bombs in one area. This makes it difficult to wiggle the paddle back and forth, causing me to miss one, usually. At least, with level 7, the bombs are more spread apart, which seems a little easier to deal with (but only if I have 2 buckets.) I'm having fun this week, but it's frustrating as Hell sometimes too.

I'm having fun this week, but it's frustrating as Hell sometimes too. 1. Yup... I've even lost a bucket as early as level 2 occasionally. I find myself moving the paddle too quickly after playing the higher levels and missing easy bombs. 2. Same here. I don't know why, but I almost always lose my third bucket early in level 7. 3. Actually, I have a harder time when the buckets are more spaced out. When he's dropping lots of buckets I find it easier to follow the pattern.

+SpiceWare Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Hopefully I can break 3000 tonight. Ike kinda ruined my gaming for most of Week 2 and I'm still overtired today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoyx Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Quiz for all... do you rotate the paddle with just your fingers, or do you keep the fingers relatively still and just flex your wrist? I mainly move my wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aftermac Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Quiz for all... do you rotate the paddle with just your fingers, or do you keep the fingers relatively still and just flex your wrist? I mainly move my wrist. I suppose a combination of both, but mainly my wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the 5th ghost Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Quiz for all... do you rotate the paddle with just your fingers, or do you keep the fingers relatively still and just flex your wrist? I mainly move my wrist. I use my fingers to rotate the paddle, not my wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
