Why are you doing this?
I need a way to keep track of my daily high scores. Ok, maybe I don't need to, but with all the internet out there going to waste, why not?
Don't you have work to do?
Yes, but it only takes a few seconds here and there to play a game. It's perfect for taking a break between tasks or while on the phone.
Aren't there a lot of better games out there you could be playing?
Maybe you can, Mister My-Flash-Player-Is-All-Updated-Because-I-Don't-Have-A-Hyper-Security-Sensitive-IT-Department-That-Doesn't-Roll-Out-Every-Minor-Plugin-Update-Unless-It's-Airquote-Mission-Critical-EndAirquote.
What are your average scores?
I don't have time to play and do math too! Let's just say that I consider anything under 1000 to be not worthy.
How do you get such high scores?
Well, I'm sure others can do much better than me. They're just my high scores.
What's your strategy?
I click "Reset" until I get a configuration with one (or fewer) complete circle, since they tend to not keep the reaction going. I often "prime" the board by rotating select tiles to make them more likely to be picked up in the reaction. And, most importantly, some of my highest scores come from a board I've already run a couple of times. Don't Reset just because it doesn't go all the way the first time. (No dating jokes, it's too easy.)
Where does this game come from?
It was created by a Flash designer from the UK named Mark James. He posted it on DeviantArt on July 6, 2004. His DeviantArt username is "Fam" and his avatar uses the same script-like "f" displayed on the game screen to the left of the instructions.
