Hey, can people not post the prizes or 'Spoiler-hide' them? Sorry, I just really like clicking the link to see what I got. :) Thanks.

Also, is there any website/petpage like before where they had all the games that were going to be up in the future and all the prizes?

I got Volcano Run finally, after having gotten it my first try (Using the not-getting-gems technique-very useful!) and then immediately clicking restart without meaning to. That hurt. I'm trying for the all-aaa eventually, but I dunno. I'm still working on Kiko Match, which I kind of hate, and Ultimate Bullseye, which I'm terrible at.

I was reeeeeal lucky today. In one of my "practice" games to get used to the mode, I had about 300 points when a Fish Negg appeared, boosting me to 1350. So not only did I beat AAA, I got the game's avatar :D

YAY! Finally got it - the game started with a rainbow negg, so I took my time, breathed slowly, and gently collected the ~300 points I lacked. Whee. Glad I'm done with that. :)

I play before I read/post on this thread, which is the best way to avoid being spoiled. ;) But sure, I'll spoiler any prizes I post from now on. :)

Well, I like to check this thread for tips and whatnot if I'm having trouble! It's very helpful. Or even check if anyone else is having as much trouble as I am. No one likes to gripe alone. ;P Anyways, it's much appreciated.

I've found this guide quite helpful. My first game after it I got my score up to 1900ish, 800 above my normal best. I've also realised that I can get much better scores with normal rather than extreme, even though the latter is more fun and pleasantly mindless.

Oh, and they're not kidding when they say about making sure to get the bonus points from having few blocks left. The game I'm playing right now, at the end of round 2 I had 900 points. End of round 3, which went badly and had 9 blocks left, 975 points. (It didn't help that I had to use the "remove all of one colour" block in order to get rid of the countdown block. Major point loss there.)

My high score is just over 2500, and I think I got that last year on Daily Dare. I had a fair amount of time to spare, so I did beat AAA this time too. I like the game, but playing it for np or to beat a particular score makes it less fun to play.

Rgh..I keep getting shy of the total, highst being around 125 OFF..so, I suppose, its to try my best to clear the board? Or at least have four or less blocks left over after getting the total points needed per level?..and work my way from the top to the bottom?

The game today is Crisis Courier. Score for AAA is 1200 and Abi 150. Beating AAA gets you:

I'm slightly annoyed by the scores. AAA's score is really low compared to previous days (in relation to the game difficulty).

I beat AAA easily, halfway during level 2, I think. I sent a 1555 score.

I forgot how much of an easy 3K a day that game is.

I have up on Destruct O Match. After getting 2334 once, I could never get that near again. I said SCREW THIS, and challenged Abigail. Todays game is horribly easy.

Gawd, I'm gettign such horrible lag; my highest score is over 1900, but all I can breach is 700 today. My little cursor guy seems to move slower than my mouse....

ETA: I turned off sound and set it on the lowest quality and I FINALLY got 1600 points. Alternate theory is that I am in the .01% of the populus who actually sucks at this game and I simply improved over time. :P

i also think that today's crisis courier challenge was way too easy. my high score on the game is 10,000-something, and i'm not even good at games.
