You just had to go and awaken my sweet tooth, didn't you?

Without planning ahead I just choose whatever is most convenient as a tournament theme. And I just happened to be eating a Dinosour.

My sugar consumption is alot higher than it should be. Mmmmm sweet tooth.

Rawr! Bring it on!

Not sure if these are a little more difficult than usual, or if I just need more coffee.

Either way, a fun start to the day - thanks!

I agree Helper. The first 2 maps I tried are above average.

Gummy Bears is tough!

I was not familiar with Rockets and Dinosours candy. (Didn't find anything with google for Dinosours until I realized the spelling.  ;D )

Concur! I managed to barely struggle through and just knew that someone was going to post a sub-5:00 score (hello Smiley :))

Who would have thought it possible. They were right after all: "Candy is not good for you."

Yikes!
Slow down, will you?
:)

You finished the 5 maps before I did? :P

LOL!
I meant to slow down on the times you're posting. It's going to be a long week trying to come close to those.

Managed to post a score for 4 of the maps, but Gummy Bears is killing me. I feel like I must be missing something because there are plenty of other scores on that one. The most scores of any of the maps in fact.

This screen grab is at 2:51 - which is pretty far along - but at this point the DB is fully powered and you can start using Mirrors (and keep building Reactors).

My time is way off the better ones, so this won't be the best approach, but it works.

Good luck.

[EDIT...my ummm first attachment was of the invisible variety. Here's the real deal. :)]

My strategy on gummy bears was to dig in, I think it can save you some money as apposed to shields, though It means less area for reactors at first.

Two early C-Bombs into the right chamber are also a good defence.

Interesting tactic EA3401, and certainly one I had not even considered. Thank you for sharing.

Used the tactic of ea3401 (at least the idea to bomb the right pool, I did the other pools completely different) to improve his score a tiny bit. Current scoretable:

I had not even considered going to ground from the start. That definitely gives you a little time to build up which allowed me to get over the hump and beat the map. Obviously, much better times are possible, but I was happy with a victory.   :)

Verflixt!
I thought I had done Fuzzy Peaches this morning, but since my score does not appear, I checked and I had two spaces in between the words. XD At least, for now, I hold the record on that one ^^

14 different players and 8 9 complete games - everyone loves candy, I guess.
Great to see so much activty.
