All I have to say is thank you for giving me a new reason to TCS.

I need to blink for a while now...

The price of the pass is under discussion. There isn't a final decision, but one thing is certain and that is that it will be considerably less than that. Once that is decided, the proper amount will be announced and will appear in the Shop. Not sure precisely when Anne is planning to cut over, but it will be fairly soon.

Will the pass be a one time purchase or will it expire? I think it's great to have something else to spend points on.

The game Addiction Solitare won't post any of my scores. I thought you had to actually get all of them to have it post the score but I did and had 48 and it still shows me at 0??? I don't really care much about the scores anyways... Addiction Solitare is one of my favorite games anyways!

I believe they will be weekly passes

is it cause you're addicted to it???

I get a bit obsessed with things so I am playing 2 games constantly: Animal Connect (I will beat Bryan!!

) and Bongo Balls

 

[twstychik]

I had a lot of fun in the tournement. Nice to have a little competition I think. I usually pick the random game to play and I'm not a good tester becuase I get bored quickley and skip from one game to the next with out finishing until I find one I like.


ETA: I have to say (and I know it's not something that the mods can do anything about) but a lot of the games don't pause and it drives me nuts. I'm at work most of the time and need to pause games and usually just end up letting them go or closing them because I can't finish all at once.

I might be addicted to Bubble Shooter

I love the new arcade, I really havent had any problems with it at all, and I must say I am addicted to bongo balls, fruit twirls, and quite a few others

 

[xocats]

There are some pool sharks on this site.

I am enjoying the arcade.

 

[jcat]

For some reason I currently have the "Gyro Ball Champion" icon, although I scored 0 points. I guess I'm just the latest in a long list of losers?

Do we know how much it is going to be to play?... Cuz I am really addicted now!

I added a comment in the game saying that no scores are recorded on TCS - thanks for letting me know!

A weekly arcade pass will be 1000 points. I still have to make sure it's working properly before I close down the free play mode... it is NOT easy, let me tell you that. The darn thing has permissions in about 5 different menus and figuring out which overrides which is more challenging for me than any of the games

Thanks! Added a note on the game saying scores aren't recorded.

Sorry, can't change any of the games features

It's a good point though and I'll keep it in mind when I book a flash programmer to do a few exclusive TCS games

And I like the tournaments too!

I guess so? I know I couldn't get more than zero there...

And to recap on the plans for the pass -

A weekly pass will cost 1000 points but you will also WIN points when playing. I will be setting it at 100 points won everytime someone becomes a game champion so you'll have to work hard for them points

I am looking into ways to make it even more interesting, possibly by increasing the jackpot as people try, we'll see about that though.

I want to make sure that the arcade passes work before switching over, and so far having a bit of a struggle, so you get to play for free at least for a few more hours, possibly more.

I'm glad everyone likes the arcade so much! Thanks for the feedback! Watch out for more cool features here on TCS, and a special cat-related suprise in April (not a formal announcement, this one, still working on the dates

).

Exclusive TCS games?! How exciting!

I can't imagine how complicated all this must be from the back end. Anne, you rock super hard for doing all of this!

 

[bella713]

Loving the games Anne

1 issue I am having with Freecell Solitaire, Everytime I beat the game and get 260 it NEVER records my score

I'm wondering if there is some trick to posting the score

Game Feedback:
Twice yesterday, the pool stick froze and would not shoot.

I lost my eyesight trying to catch up to the pool shark's scores in the 8 ball Champ game yesterday.

As for Bubble Shooter...
There are some good players on TCS.

It took me 52 minutes and change to get to a lousy 65,000+ last night when I was SUPPOSED to be going to bed.
