Last time I wrote I was doing great, well over a million and plenty of lives to spare. Then the game went haywire and I couldn't do anything else. I was caught in a loop. As soon as the ball hit a wall it would say try again as if I had lost a life BUT it did not subtract one. I had to reset therefore loosing my high score and had to start all over. I just completed my 66th rotaion and have a score of 1,126,815 with 75 lives. Not sure how long I can go on untill it screws up again. BTW, I don't use the cheats. I didn't even know they existed. Maybe next time. I have the 7280 with OS 4.0

Is it true that the game dies like that after ~1,100,000? If so I'd like to know now so I can kill myself off before that happens, and my high score can be registered. Took me a year and a half of playing before I finally got through the second go-round, after which the game gets ridiculously easy and you just keep playing and racking up lives. Currently at 350,205 with 123 lives.

I'm thinking if the game really does crap out like some are saying I'll just try to kill myself off at 1,000,000 exactly.

[vhest]

I'm currently sitting @ 950,000 w/250 lives left, but my BB has gone off of my email network and now I can't sent/receive emails. The way for me to get BACK on the network is to obviously take the battery out and put it back in, essentially resetting the unit, and my high score thus far. Can you back up the game somehow? Any help can/will appreciated.................

[markfact]

I have 73000, still going... on my 7th time around? lol well anyways, I have 13 lives, and it isnt really getting harder, in my opinion its getting easier. Im using a 7100 i think

[wazza]

how do you guys get such high scores?!?!?i find that the trackwheel gets "loose" and loses some of its sharpness...is there any assitance (cheats) or suggestions (cheats) that any one can offer up so i can break 10k...

I have version 4.0 with the 7280.
Just ended the game with a high score of 1,325,110. I had 71 lives left but the game started screwing up on me (not the first time) so I had to end it quickly. Last time this happened I had 1.2 million and 200+ lives but the game screwed up and every shot I took just hit the wall and said try again, no loss of life, nothing. It was caught in a loop so I had to restart it, took over 5 months to get a good game going. Its a piece of cake once you've gone twice around. I was on my 78th round when I had to end it. At least this time I have something to show for it. So for those non believers....you're just not good enough . Try a little harder.

once you beat all the levels, you restart the game at level one...

It will then start a new game on level two. When you finish level two it will jump ahead to level 4, and then to level 6, etc. Your score won't be very high, but you'll get furthur along in the game quicker.

It takes a little practice, but you'll get it.

Ok so I love brickbreaker and have a current high score of 15,390. I got this on level 29, or thereabouts. I'm really interested in playing through all of the levels, and so I tried this cheat in order to skip level 16 (the one that allways kills me unless I get catch or gun). But it doesn't work for me!

Today I got to 13,225 at level 25....besting my previous best of 12,250! Woo Hoo!

.....Hey so tell us what it is, please?

The high scores posted on the Plazmic site are now approaching 1,400,000.

As high as that seems it really isn't that difficult to get above 1,200,000.

With practice anyone should be able to get through all 34 levels once. The second time around is VERY challenging so save those lives. Once you make it past the the second time through the 34 levels life is good. You will accumulate lives much faster than you lose them and can play for months until the you've been through 80 rounds of 34. At that point, you should easily be above 1,200,000 which (currently) puts you in the top 200 or so on the Plazmic scorecard. What separates the elite from the near elite is maximizing points. Once you've got a comfortable number of lives (20 or so) you MUST shift your focus to points. Sacrifice a life for points. GUNS are the most important power up and should be used to destroy steel plates (for a net +50 score) when possible. It has been suggested that your score must average 17,000 per round to acheive elite status - I'm not sure if that is enough - I'm at 1,220,000 and still going, but don't know how many more rounds I've got.

I'd be interested in hearing how the game ends when you've completed 80 rounds.

PS- Don't try to post an imtermedite score on Plazmic - your game will be reset.

Ok EVERYBODY talks about the cheat but no one really give the answer. I have a 8700c (from cingular) and when I do the cheat say ok to next level the say new game and it ask me "end current game" no one has said what to do here... everyone says click ok then new game then ok, I have tried it both ways and does not work...

Does anyone have an answer?

[sshocker96]

How do you 'save' a game? Whenever I stop a game, if I go back into brickbreaker, the only option I have is for 'new game'!?

I have had my BB for years now and have never used a cheat. I didn't even knew they existed. I have had scores of 400,000 and 800,000. I am now working on a score of just over 1,100,000 and still going strong (with 340 lives). My suggestion is to forget the cheats and just practice. You will find a rhythm (no other way to describe it) in your playing and in time you will master every board.

Yeah, the simplest answer is....don't cheat. Just practice your arse (and thumbs) off. That's the only way to beat this god for saken game.

Khaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnn!!!!!!!

[Cableguy]

Howdy y'all. Thought I would post a picture for you non-believers.

Remember, this was all done with hard work (even when I should have been actually "working" at my job....you all know what I mean ) and thumbs that end up looking like Popeye"s forearms. Oh, my garshk!!

[jaegerup]

I have completed the game twice, level 68, but I never have more than 9 lives at any given time? Can some tell me how you get 100+ lives? Is there a trick? Thanks

No tricks. Just pick them up as they come along and try not to lose any along the way (sounds crazy, doesn't it?). If you have made it around twice, as you say, you may be a little low on dudes but the game slows right down and you are able to build up guys (a lot of them) as you carry through. You have to go through the 34 levels several times over before you get over 100 lives.

I had almost 400 (lives) with my high score so just keep breaking.
