It's not flash-based, which I've found is a major obstacle for submitting it to sites. I haven't had much luck spreading the word via gaming forums and there don't seem to be many sites that aggregate browser-based games.

I'm bad at the whole marketing thing though, so if anyone has ideas for how to spread the word I'm all ears.

What's the highest Bonus ever recorded?

My recent 46,326 score had a personal high bonus of 21.

18 2's.

I gave up when I couldn't place my 13th 2 without losing bonus points and just ran the game out for amusement.

At some point I want to add things like this to the leaderboard, but that's behind a few other features. I think my personal best bonus is 22 and I'm pretty sure I've never seen higher than 23.

Also, I just purged another challenge cheater. That's one of the least fun parts of this project for sure. Some of you picked up another challenge win because of it though.

This spreadsheet confirms mehike's maximum possible score.





Obviously, I didn't bother to edit the chart to account for the impossibility of bonus's greater than the max of 32(?).



Also, I blew another chance at the all-time record. My subtle inaccuracy cost me two points on the bonus. Otherwise, my recent 48,928 would have been 54,900.

Here's maximum score with 5's included, which is alot more plausible, than only 6s



And my strategy, which leaves pretty big margin for error/randomness

3->2 which I use on the very first 3 I get
3->5 use on round 4-8 (corner pieces).
3->6 / 4->6 Use on round 4-8 (corner pieces), if I don't get 6 that round.
Re-roll one die (Do Over) - Usually on last round.

Yeah anton-09

I was almost sure he was cheating, he racked up way too many wins and always had the two snakes. I was one of those that picked up an extra win. I saw him in today challenge though, has he received a pardon?

Today I played the challenge amazing. As always, there were critical points where you have to decide what you do, and whether it is good or not depends on te next throw. Today I picked them all right


BTW you do not have to make tables to calculate the maximum score. Some basic math is good enough:
Your score with X times a 6 and the rest bonus is X*(46-X)*6*25.
You have to maximize X*(46-X) = -X^2 +46X. Basic math says that the maximum is at f'(X)=0.
f'(X) = -2X+46=0
X=23.

Q.E.D.

Yay, finally got Alex. He had supersick score earlier today. I thought It will take weeks til someone gets new top1, but I got real lucky. Especially since that last 4 could have ended up as 2 and f'd me over

Also first time all my numbers give points, IE no grays.

71500 is just sick

I don´t play advanced anymore - high scores are mainly just a matter of luck.

I just play the daily challenge. I´m surprised to still be in the lead today, I kinda screwed up my bonus in this game. A much higher score than mine is quite possible.

Alex's 71,500 board is so sick. Not a single 3 or 4 and no dead squares. Can't see that being beat.

Getting even more frustrated today61500 with a 2 and a 1 left to destroy the board,and still had several abilities unused

I know it's pot luck especially the final roll but it must be a dozen times in the past few days where I have just wanted a bit of luck on the last roll,I must be due soon.

Right sorry for moaning,off to have another try

How many ways are there to make snake charmer? I have found tree patterns.



Of course, you can mirror and rotate these, that does not make them different. Anyone has found another pattern?

The first one is the easiest to build, because you have a "degree of freedom".

Am I getting credit for a Daily Challenge win on 9/23?

It would be nice if ties showed up on the list of winners.


On the 9/23 challenge, dogfloss botched his final roll. He should have tied with hammertime and me. All he had to do was put a 4 in the top box and a 6 in the middle box (switch what he actually did).
