Bubble shooter is not on a timer, you can just stop playing and walk away and come back and play later. I did that the other night. I was so tired that I went to bed and woke up and finished the game, LOL

I finally broke my Bubble Shooter score of 1900 but received a message that my score was not saved.

The top scores of the games are deleted every 24 hours for some reason.

Will the bonus 100 points be awarded instantly and remain even though your score is wiped off the list despite no one else having gotten a higher one?

I find that there are way too many games to choose from. The games I tried were found either in "new" or "most played" and the odd one on the first page.

I found 2 games that I enjoy playing out of the 7 or 8 that I've tried, and I have been sticking with those. There may be other ones that I like, but there are too many to wade through.

I *think* it will be awarded instantly. We'll have to test that together though
Also, I am playing with the jackpot options too, so we'll see about those.

I'm afraid there will be more games coming
I am thinking about building it up to 200 or so now and then adding a couple of new ones every week for a while still.

Forgot that one. I am not seeing this with the couple of games I'm keeping track of. Can you tell me which game is that happening with so I can monitor this?

As far as I can tell, it deletes ALL of them.

I had quite a few high scores and now they are all gone except the one from last night - it's no fun to compete if the scores get wiped out so quickly.

Cool! I love it because it makes me think of popping bubble wrap, only with pretty colours!

Yeah, I`ve noticed my bedtimes are getting quite late now. "Just one more game."


On the subject of Bubble Shooter, does anyone know if it`s possible to change the level? It always says Novice and where you can turn the volume down and change the background colour it looks like you should be able to change the level but nothing happens when I click on it.
I`m just thinking if you start higher up you might make more points!

I tried to change the level too, but nothing happened. I was hoping to up it a little bit

I only play 2 games regularly, and I've noticed it on both of them:

Bubble Shooter

A couple days ago, theimp98 had a high score of something like 365,000. It stayed for 24 hours, then it was deleted and replaced by the one that was in second place. I can't recall for sure, but I think it was under 200,000. Today theimp98 is once again back on top with a new high score of \t255,580

Easter Egg Match

When I started playing this game there was a high score there of 16,500 or so. I managed to get the second highest of 15,550. After 24 hours the 16,500 score was gone and mine which was second, was now at the top of the list. Then 24 hours later mine was gone and the second highest score of 13,000 something was at the top of the list. Yesterday Silly Jilly managed to get back to the top with a new high score of 16,900 or something. I managed to get a second highest scrore of 14,750. Today Silly Jilly's score is gone and my score which was second is now at the top showing as "highest score".

EDIT: I just managed to get a new high score of 16,500 in Easter Egg Match. Theoretically that should stay until someone else gets a higher one, but that isn't what has been happening. If things go as they have been, if no one else gets a higher score, in 24 hours my score will vanish and be replaced by whatever score is in second position.

I'm usually grateful when my score isn't recorded! I'm so bad at games!


I'm becoming addicted to Carrot and Hishi!

I agree. I'm not a very competitive person and one of the games that I enjoy playing depends largely on "luck" so getting a high score is not very easy to do.

For those who say that their scores are not being recorded, have you been clicking "submit" when the game is finished? Not all games automatically record a high score. Some that I've played require you to click "submit" to get your score recorded.

That's the confusing part, and one which TCS has little or no control over. Some scores are submitted automatically, whether you like it or not, others are submitted only if you click, and some not at all.

I believe members are just going to have to accept that a lot of this is just beyond TCS's control, and play for fun. If a game doesn't work to somebody's satisfaction, nobody is forcing him/her to play it, and there are plenty of other choices. It's aggravating, but not a matter or life or death, or real cash.

Of course, the opinion expressed above is tempered by my absolute inability to play arcade games!
It takes me a couple of tries before I even understand the rules!
