I actually got a higher score on my first hard mode game than the regular. Sometimes I guess you get some lucky pieces just in time. I'm tryin to break into the 400s.
Hi people, I put a video of some gameplay and strategy that I use on Youtube, don't know how to put the video up here if someone could help me with that, that would be nice, I am no computer tech though ha ha, I am just a gamer. You can find it under Eklips roger.
@vectorarchitekt, interesting, you're the second person I've heard of who made a better score in hard as far as I know, I'm wondering if this is about your playstyle. Can you feel the difference of difficulty modes in different playthroughs or isn't it much obvious? @ROGER-NL, you can copy-paste this code in a new post and remove the dots, for low-res version: [.youtube]SbsGlSCrFNg[/.youtube] for hi-res version: [.hdyoutube]SbsGlSCrFNg[/.hdyoutube] Without dots, the video will appear in the post. I leaved that to you so that you can have the privilege to send it If you can't (or don't want to) for some reason, I can do it in a new post. You can preview the post before sending to see how low-res & hi-res version looks in post. It's a great video by the way, in some ways you're playing more deliberate than me. While watching, I sometimes found myself talking "nooo, not there!" but once you continue, it became obvious why you did the things you did and it was nice. It's entertaining to watch different approaches
Eklips is the third game on the US App Store front page list: New Games We Love. Same spot on the Games front page. Congratulations! That's primo real estate for visibility.
By ROGER-NL's request, I'm putting here his Eklips video That's great gameplay. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
Wow that's impressive, the whole time I'm like what the hell is he doing, but you score so much higher then I do haha I gotta change up my play ! Id like to see more vids ! Post more guys ! =]
I'm just gonna leave this screen here for myself as a personal trophy if you don't mind. Thanks again guys!
Ha I don't blame you ## The game deserves it. You've accomplished the incredible feat of making a great original game using Tetris-like blocks in the app store's 7th year. Also, I noticed hard mode had some occasionally weirder blocks and you didn't get as many long ones...what does the symbol on the top right mean?
Just got a new highscore and I am number one on the Leaderboard, this is a great feeling I can tell you ha ha.
@vectorarchitekt, thank you for your kind words, I am really flattered Top-right symbol shows which mode you're currently playing in, since the best scores are different in normal and hard mode. Normal mode is a single diamond, hard is 3 diamonds that are kinda stacked on each other, I'm not sure if that's clear in first sight but I'm also using them when you start a new game, so I was hoping that it gets clear after a while. @ROGER-NL, woah ammmazing score! :-o
I noticed that in hard mode, early on I got a couple large shapes - big U and an S I think, but then I never saw them again. It seems I should see a larger set of blocks in hard mode? Anyway, really great game. I like that there is no time pressure.
Larger shapes mostly appear if you manage to keep the gameplay area clean most of the time, to throw you off balance. In normal mode, there is one large shape and there are 3 in hard mode. Glad you're liking it!
Hmmm have you discovered flipping pieces by sending them to empty walls? Just keep playing and have fun, you'll get better I believe
Also what's the four dots that show up in the game board corner every now and then? Seem like when the dots are there you can't slide the piece all the way to the outer edge? Also another request would be more themes/color. As a man it feels a little strange to play a pink and purple game in public, not that I care too much... But greens, black and gray might be nice? Maybe a nice blue tone, baby blue, royal blue and dark blue might be nice as well? Orange, yellow and maybe purple?
Just got a new score of 4789 points, but that is max for me now, this took me 45 minutes, can't handle the stress it brings with it ha ha, I wait for the Achievements and play then some more. It feels great when you got a score like that, gotta say that.
