Well Crap

[Swisspike]

I achieved a new, high score. Only the third game I have played. 1140..so not bad. But...the last piece I had couldn't be placed. Only a very, very small bit of sand. So. I couldn't progress. Can't place, can't lose, can't finish.

Should have a provision to drag an unused piece to a trash, for five points. There should be value in unused, or unusable pieces.

Not sure what the answer is, but I would have like to have seen where 1140 ranks.

I hear you, I had a moment like that in one of my first couple of games...I was ONE point away from leveling up. Just could not find a placement for that last building I had that would give me that one extra point. :(

But the good news is, this is not the type of game where you'd likely spend a huge amount of time in one particular game, so you're not out hours and hours of work. Unless you're way up there in the tens of thousands of points (which may not even be possible.)

I saw a screen shot of a player with 25 thousand points. Yikes! I just finished my fourth game, with scores of 754, 974, 1140 (the one that was borked), and just now, 4168 points. Place was #2510. Not bad!

There is a learning curve, but I can see hitting 10K easily, once you start saving areas for things that will drop two or three waves later. Gotta plan s*** out.

You can make atleast 5000 score from island 2 (did it few times). Do note that some buildings CAN be placed on grey rocks / mountains, including houses. Some fields CAN be placed in sand (bug?). Sometimes you can put one building (small) inside the other one (large), so it overlaps half of textures, yet still works.

Running out of space before reaching the next island means you've lost. There is no surrender button yet but your score should still be uploaded when you hit "New Game".

@LotusBlade You can place hop fields on sand. Overlapping buildings sounds like a bug. Oops. :D

I didn't run out of space. I had to use sand for last, and only piece I had, but here was only a very, very small piece of sand already taken. I was stuck. Couldn't place the last piece, and I only needed 5 points to progress to the next set of pieces. I had to quit the game. Shame, really, as I am still learning, and this was the best game I had to that point, at 1140.. I have since gotten well over four thousand. My next game, actually.
