Question on a couple of flash games.

Does anyone have any idea on how some people get
such incredibly high scores on certain flash games.

For example, on Ice Cream Machine, I have made it to
Tigersquash level at which point the scoops come so fast
that it is almost impossible and my top score is around
11,500 and then I look on the high scores and they are
about 20,000. Am I missing something in the game to
get scores in that range?

Thanks,

Erin

Another example is the new Time tunnel game, I scored 1640, completing
all of the puzzles quite quickly but I see now way to shave another
couple hundred seconds off to get near the high scores.

A few minor tips on Time Tunnel:

The clock stops while a code is being tested. So click quick!

Always start by testing the blank slate. Some codes have one or more
"blank" circles in them, and this is a good way to start. Next, change a
number of circles equal to the number of white circles you got into another
color (sometimes this will be all of them). You'll get one of four results:

1. Same as first result. This can be good, if you had a single green
before. It would indicate you have one correct circle placed correctly.

2. More greens. This is a confusing result. You may need to experiment to
figure out what goes where, which can eat up time.

3. More oranges. If your one green goes to a green and an orange, it's
good and bad news. Good: You got another color. Bad: You moved the color
you had right the first time. Take a quick look at the previous code and
see what you changed.

4. Finish! Sometimes you just get lucky.

Of course, I'm not on the high 100, even... YMMV...

I don't think they are "blank", just gray coloured.

Hi and thanks for replying.

I use a similar system to get in the 1600's and
with a lucky set of puzzles, I could see making
it to the 1700's but the would involve doing each
puzzle an average of 10 secs faster. What I don't
see is how anyone makes it to the 1900's since that
almost invovles getting every puzzle within about
10 secs.
