Magnetic Billiards: Blueprint

[The Caffeine Kid]

I bought the serious tables and then the skeleton key. GAH. And then I got offered a free skeleton key

1.5million grand score? ....how?

I'm still at #9 in that table... (#2 for iphone) with 585k

I'm guessing it's the extra res of the ipad that makes all the difference?

[Jedburgh]

Yeah, I think the iPad also has bigger tables with room for more balls and higher score opportunities, hence the separate iPhone leaderboard.

I think scoring's a matter of knowing your shapes, racking up some rings early on to up your tariff, then going out on something like a parallelogram or a super string with maybe a set of smaller shapes to up your combo, plus plenty of bounces. Seems to work for me

How did I miss the BEST TRAILER EVER?

Haha posting that trailer triggered a 'Google Alert' linking to this thread.

New trailer coming soon. Might have some actual game footage in it.

...and yet no 'Google Alert' that you had been honoured with an "indie beard" placement, just behind our own Yak - who, of course, will win all "indie beard" awards hands down without question (and it is folly to believe otherwise).

Unfortunately, the blog post in question has been removed since, for reasons unknown. But, rest assured, the Pickford brothers were duly honoured for their "indie beard" contributions to society and the universe.

Congratulations!

[JPickford]

Yeah we saw that. We're thinking about getting our beards insured for silly amounts of money.

You should consider putting up a 'how to rinse a masssive score' video, with an example of how to make the most of a couple of different tables.

Get Jed to do it!

I've got a pretty fair idea of the scoring mechanics but it still seems quite hit and miss for me on the tables when I get a really good score. Very much reliant on a happening to hit a decent combo which still seems very much a matter of chance most of the time.

Clearly there a method to it as can be seen by Jed's astounding #1 score but something's obviously escaped me so far..

[Jedburgh]

Hahahahaha - just shot past the two million mark while discovering a new way of scoring silly points that plain hadn't occurred to me before

[RiK]

Fookinell Jim! When you go back up in the mothership can you drop a few morsels of tips for the humans you're leaving behind...

[Jedburgh]

I'll probably do some kind of masterclass to go with my review in a forthcoming issue of Tap! magazine.

Passed three million now and wondering if there's an achievement for getting a million off a single table.

Fuck. Right. Off.

He's assimilated with Sickboy. It's the only explanation!

[RiK]

Definitely iOS game of the year for me this one. I'm not very good at it but it's still bloody brilliant.

[Jedburgh]

Fuck. Right. Off.

Turns out there isn't

[RiK]

Just saw that on G+, what the fupping fup did you do to get nearly TWO FUCKING MILLION ON ONE TABLE!!!!!!
