Of course scoring and challenges would have to be separate for different boards, maybe they could be another daily challenge?

Mike,

Yep, I've thought about doing that. It'll take some work to set things up so that I can generate different kinds of boards, but if I get it right I should be able to do all kinds of goofy setups pretty easily. Maybe I'll call that "fun mode" or "crazy mode."

That's brutal Dynasty. I've had two games that could have been the all-time top score if I'd played differently, but my mistakes were on earlier rounds.

If we had a Triplechain BBV I think you'd be the winner so far.

I think the award point system is far too pricey.
I mean only 25 players with 20k+ , 50th highest is 10k points.
So average player has probably around 5k points (or less) which doesn't give them any real advantage when playing advanced mode.

Also make more options to make 2's, since they give the most points.

Storing one(or more) numbers without placing them could be extremely useful as well.

hehe n1. once I finished it I knew there was a lot more potential in it and I could have scored better. but 10k more is impressive.

I have no idea how to play this game.

Not posting the instructions is massive gayness.

Would definitely purchase this if it ever became a pay for droid app that integrated with the website (statistics and scores)

Could be a good way to make some off it

Lucked into a (normal) game with 3 1k+ chains, am I the first?

I think Dynasty managed one with his first snake charmer game, but they're very rare...

I've had a few requests for this. I'm looking into it... Hopefully it's not too tricky to make it happen.

Nice work, congrats

I was wondering what the maximum score was, so I played around in Paint abit.
First I figured going for max bonus was the way, but turns out not quite.
