From another perspective, AAA's score has improved a lot from last year (450). :D

Yes it that WAS quite pathetic, anyway, I loves this game so I will probably get it on the 1st or 2nd try 8)

Wow, you guys rock!

I just got another 699 in KM2! And I lost the final bat in KB, so now I have to play that for hours until I unlock it again. I hate that game -- it's so tedious to wait for the wind to be right, and it's just not really any fun to hit it over and over again! Now, if it were Whack-a-Kiko, I might at least get some visceral pleasure out of the game. Although eilu's hints should help a lot -- thanks!

What I do is if it's not over 6, I just click to make it fall and not hit it, and not send that score obviously, and see what new wind speed it gives me. Repeat until you get 8-9. :)

I think this was the easiest day for me. It's one of my daily 3x-a-day games, and I don't usually send a score lower than ~865 or whatever it is that gets you 1000np. So, yay!

You betcha :)

Another easy win... a bit too easy, as someone already pointed out. Oh well, I try not to complain too much - anything that gets me closer to the Ultimate prize is good.

We can make it!

I guess I'm one of the few people on this board who doesn't care for Kass Basher and, consequently, isn't good at it. Yet I still managed to beat AAA's score by following the tips in this thread. So, thanks y'all! :hug:

Although I might regret doing that if Abigail's prize turns out to be the more expensive one. =p That ripped Kass plushie is cute, in a demented sort of way.

Finally, a game I play on a regular basis! lol But I thought Abigail's prize was too cool so I bought one... ;) For the record, the book seems to be going for a little over 5000, and the plushie seems to be going for a little over 200. (Though I found one for 15, yay!)

I DID IT!!!!!! I just got a 715 on Kiko Match II! Thanks, everyone for all your hints and encouragement. What really kept me from going crazy was making an Excel sheet to track my top score in each round and the maximum possible total after each round if I were to actually match my personal best in each round. It was great to see my maximum potential total after the last round pass 700; it also gave me a feel for when I should give up and start over (as early as round 5, often in round 9, and occasionally as late as round 12). Even in a bad game, I usually had one round that would beat my old best for a round. For those still struggling, hang in there -- you'll get it too. Just keep at, take frequent breaks (I found Spider Solitaire particularly effective between rounds), and use the hints in this thread. Here are the best times I had for each round:
Round--Time Left Pts--Total
1-----------8-----------18
2-----------12----------40
3-----------16----------66
4-----------17----------93
5-----------19----------122
6-----------35----------167
7-----------48----------225
8-----------50----------285
9-----------54----------349
10----------68----------427
11----------86----------523
12----------89----------622
13----------97----------729
14----------64----------803
*Note these were my best times, and I obviously didn't get them all in one game. For me, I wanted to be at least 115 by the end of round 5, and definitely over 400 by the end of round 10 -- this last game, I was at 402, but I set a new record for rounds 11 (by ~10 seconds) and 14 (by ~30 seconds). I did use the cheat in round 14 -- since it only gave me 15 seconds and it took a couple seconds to type, I actually didn't need it. But I figured I might as well automatically type it right at the beginning of round 14 just in case it made the difference.

NEW SPLIT!
