Desc:
* HINTS * * Strong field unduced Gravity (down) can 'flip' your Anti-Creeper and ruin your time. * If the map is too hard, use the cheat Gem and have fun! * Any Anti-Creeper that makes it to the bottom is teleported to the SAME side of the top. * The top row is SAFE, but Creeper can still block your Packets and ruin your time.

Bongo,

Why is my time a little more and a little more score?
Or do you not take all the crystals?

In this map, I had a little bit faster, but at score ea3401 more. I took all of the crystals.

Thank you.

The scoreboards are ordered by best Score, but one's best Time and Score are SEPARATE. In most maps Score and Time are the same, but if there is a Crystal or Technyte (that gives points) the best score and time can be DIFFERENT. You have to submit your Score/Time at least twice for your Score/Time to not 'match up'.

On this map I put in a "Cheat Gem" to give NEGATIVE score but unlimited Energy and Technytes so that people could play for best score OR best time (and just have fun). "Bomb Wisely" has Crystals at the bottom that requires at least 90 seconds of digging to get to which many people didn't bother to pick up because by the time you can get to them you have already won.

Don't be discouraged by very short times. I'd say that the top Score/Time on over 50% of the Scoreboards is a cheater.

Good luck, and happy Blasting!

I know about the sort. Just at the same time the crystal can be much faster. And I had not thought of.
Not for 5-10 seconds faster. A 40% faster. As it is written in the report about cheaters.

And it does not explain the score ea3401 MAP = 2708. I took all of the crystals. Negatives are not there. And I have the best time. Why is not the best score ??????

You've played at least two times:
10 min 25 sec --> Score 10522 (with both gems)
09 min 08 sec --> Score 10000 (without both gems)
The score table shows your best time and your best score independently.

Yes, I'm sorry, that's right.
Usually I do not play for the best time, but for the best score.
But then the thought that it is possible to create a situation that when digging the crystal (plus) to spend even more score. And compare versions of the game. And then forgot.
