Thanks for featuring my game! I was hoping you’d pick it at some point. Very excited to see how everyone does.

I'll start by logging 730!

I have 669 so far, I think I had higher before, but I redownloaded the game for the challenge, so it reset my high score :)

pianofire

My best so far is 778

Devieus

633 on three tries, but I did manage to get red on 586, the lowest red so far.

Richard

Dinocoder

It’s difficult to know what my game plan should be.. I try to keep the bigger balls separate and combine the smaller ones.. I think that’s the winning strategy, but it’s tough! Fantastic, addictive game :D

My new high is 828

Devieus

I boosted my score to 741. I also added some extra circles to make it looks real nice:

In case you want it too, I added these two lines below line 847:

circle(fix(ball[i].pos.x)-fix(ball[i].radius)/7, fix(ball[i].pos.y)-fix(ball[i].radius)/7,fix(ball[i].radius)/1.25,max(fix(ball[i].radius),12),colorCorrect(color(ball[i].size))+{.05,.05,.05,.5},0
circle(fix(ball[i].pos.x)-fix(ball[i].radius)/2.5, fix(ball[i].pos.y)-fix(ball[i].radius)/2.5,fix(ball[i].radius)/4,max(fix(ball[i].radius),12),colorCorrect(color(ball[i].size))+{.1,.1,.1,.5},0

I did also tweak the colors on line 61 a bit, all 1s are now .8s and all .5s are .2s.

Logging 693! Good job with your game! It is a nice idea, like a synthesis of Tetris and ball-bouncing physics!

@devieus we tried your extra code and it came up with an error. When we changed the = near the beginning of each line to a - it worked. Looks very nice now thanks.
