Winterbells

Post by Hawkwings »

I came across this gem of a game a few months ago.

Winterbells:

It's addicting, cute, fun, and causes spontaneous sweaty palms. My personal high score is around 93 millions, but there have been reports of insane scores, such as this: http://img350.imageshack.us/img350/750/highscoreqq0.jpg

That's right, 24 quadrillion. And that's only the highest I could find photographic proof of.

Pathetic. I had that game well past 10,000 points per bell and the score extended across roughly half the screen. It appears to be using bignums of some sort, because it didn't exhibit 64 bit wraparound and didn't switch to scientific notation.

I've played it before; it seems to lag on a Wii, so if you want to score high, play on the Wii. It's like slow motion.

Do you provide screams of terror when your rabbit misses and goes falling back to earth, or is that just something me and my friends do?
