The Intro to Shining Mine thread

1st try: got just over 4K points. Won my free 0 token game.

Looked at the high scores and see GG with 84K.

Let's start improving!!

Game 2: 2K. Lost when a bomb exploded.

realizing that my color-blindness is going to kill me here. Once a shape becomes a bomb I can no longer see the shape well enough to intentionally make a match with it. (As I have to match the shapes and not the colors.)

This could be a short thread.

3rd game: 2K. The game just suddenly quit right after a power-up and everything disappeared. Maybe a bomb went off I didn't see?? Maybe there were no more moves?

4th game: first time making it to the end! 12,310 points.

[msufan]

got another random death -- does the game just end if you run out of moves??

[msufan]

OK, I'm out. The bombs look nothing (to me) like the pieces they are supposed to be matched with.

My first game: 19697. Missed a bomb and got killed . This game seems hella fun, it's quite bad that I discover this now, my exams just started...
Game 2: 17991. Didn't notice in the first game the the counter goes down not ever move you make, but every match that is made and got killed by a 8 bomb with 37sec left.
Game 3: 12594. Had over a minute left, a bomb with 2 ticks left went off... Looks like I don't understand how the ticker goes down... Time to learn the rules.
OH LOL, it's a timer! I was thinking it was like bomp bomp. This is even more fun. I love switch game where speed is very important

Grrr... I keep swapping gems to the wrong place. Is this just me or do other people have more trouble with that in this game compared to something like bejeweled as well? A little practice will probably solve this quickly, but it's annoying as hell at the moment
game 6: under 5k. Still trying to finish the game for the first time.
Game 7: 41118. Finally finished a game, WHEEEEEEEE. is this a decent score? I think I played at least decent.
Game 8: 25437. Keep dying with around 30 seconds left.
Game 9: 28812. 50 seconds left... I'm dying sooner and scoring better, don't know if this is good or not.
Game 10: 51440. Finished the game. This game is too addicting, I hope I get some studying done today...

Game 11: 68400. First cash game, defeated GG! Muahahaha
Game 12: 18291: GG crushed me.
