Hi ROB

I posted a thead called 'Get addicted' ages ago, which a couple of people have recently found.

http://www.netives.com

Mo and Disco started me off on this last year, so personally I blame them

[sweetlittlesara]

my high score is 208, i am addicted too!!

[Janette]

I have played it constantly ever since I read that ******* post about it!

I can't keep away from it and I've only got up to a score of 388!

I need sleep!

I need food!

I need drink!

I need a holiday!

[blinkinlovely]

Jeanette, I'm glad to meet another addicted. My best score so far is 428 but have not got close to it in the last 1000 or so games (lol)
I find myself sorting those colours out in my sleep, while at work. Oh myyy Godddd!

Are there tactics that I'm meant to be aware of while playing this game?!

[Janette]

Yes come on LEE, give us some hint and tips!

This game is driving us crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LEE]

lol, I'm not sure I have any, other than maybe STOP PLAYING!!!! But then I haven't managed to do that since about last October!!!!

My highest Score is now 697 (God knows how!!!). I think the only tip I have is to try and manuoever as many of one colour together as you can - if you only move 2's and 3's you don't score very much. Study it for a bit before you start moving balls, cos by moving some less obvious combinations first you can end up grouping more of one colour and scoring more.

Other than that, you could always try this instead...

turn the sound off first though cos it's really annoying.

[Janette]

I tried not to click on it but I'm weak!

I didn't want to play the game!

Oh God, I'm an addict!

HEEEEEELLLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!

[blinkinlovely]

Well I clicked on it and did not understand a thig!!!!! I could only make the balls spin but got 120 points.

Back to Marbles then..........

[LEE]

How 'Bounce Out' works is like this...

Every time you get 3 or more balls of the same colour in a row they bounce out of the grid and the others cascade down and change the pattern.

The more balls you line up at any one time the more you score.

The way to move them is that if you click on two adjacent balls they will swap places.

You can't move the black balls so they're bad news.

When there are no more moves left the black balls automatically bounce out so you can carry on.

It tell's you how many successful moves you can do at the bottom on the right.

If you can't see a move, you click on the 'panic' button it will move two balls for you. You can only use the panic button once each level.

The higher the level you go the more balls you have to bounce out and the less time you get.

Aaaaaargh!!!

[Janette]

It's a good little game but Marbles is best, it's just so infuriating!!!!!!

[Janette]

I've played Bounce Out all evening! God I'm sad! anyway, I've only been able to get to level 2 with a high score of 6052.

Why do I get hooked on these stupid little games?????????????

[Kaz]

They're great, aren't they janette?

Who needs £40 computer games when you can sit and click away at coloured balls for free!!

I had an utter fluke at Bounce Out tonight and got to level 5 with a total of 37,948. God knows how!

LEE - you've got a lot to answer for.

[blinkinlovely]

Wow and to think that I was pleased to manage Level 2 after failing to get any points at all

[Janette]

YIPPEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

just got to level 4

score 15,972

[blinkinlovely]

still not passed level 2 and 7 000 points ...................

[Janette]

With a little bit of practice, we'll all go far!

It only took me until 3 o'clock this morning (from 7pm last night!!!!!!!!) but I got to level 7 with a score of 91,646

I'm going to bed now to dream of little balls spinning round!

[LEE]

Read and Weep!!!!

Bounce Out
Level 11
236,114

Let's see you beat that then!!

[Janette]

Level 14

246,642

And I'm ashamed to say, I've paid $20 and downloaded the game so I can play it all the time!!!!!

[blinkinlovely]

ok who changed the heading from Marbles to Marbles and BOUNCE OUT...... AND HOW DID YOU DO IT.

I've been away from my PC for the weekend ( a big birthday celebration for the signif. other) and all has gone mad........

[LEE]

Sorry blinkinlovely, that was me.

As I'd introduced 'Bounce Out' half way through the thread and everyone seemed to be talking about that more, it seemed like a sensible thing to do.

I have the power, I'm Admin!

Were these two quotes really written by the same person.

I've obviously started you on the downwards slope Janette.

And now I've just got to try to beat that score
