I dunno if anybody else plays it much, but I'm hooked. Top scores: 8, 54, 227 but I think I've about hit my peak. And yes I know you can hax0r the high scores but you suck at the sweep if you do that =]

I go though addiction stages with that game. It's quite fun.

Prepare to be touched.

I don't play it, but the missus does... she only ever plays expert mode now and her current best score is... 120 secs.

It can be scary to watch. She has this pattern recognition thing going on that is kinda freaky - she just flies through it and rarely makes mistakes.

A little bit "Rainman" actually... (looks over shoulder)

I prefer to play half life and shoot every square foot of the ground to check for mines.

Mentioned this to the wife...

She said that was just the score since the last format and she hasn't really been playing it...

Claims a best ever score of 69 secs for Expert (no proof, but I believe her)

She then sat down this morning and played two games... her second game was 110 secs.

World record scores are just phenomenal... the guy who hit 43 secs must have had a couple of lucky breaks...

yeah i had a friend that could do expert mode in 90secs or something, but sometimes you can have a REALLY shit game and you dont get any good 'clearings'.

uber-fast

That won't work for me :S


But yeh, I think it's all about getting a lucky break. Last time i went thought a minesweeper stage i just played on easy. And i did it over and over again, and after 100 or so games you get lucky, first click opens up most of the squares, then in 3 or 4 more clicks its all over.

It takes awhile to get the lucky draw, then guess the right square, but when you do you get it out in a couple of secconds.

Im sure the same thing can happen with the higher levels, its just a whole lot more unlikely.
