Boomshine Found this while strolling on LJ. It's very mind-numbing, but in a good way. Enjoy!

I have heard that something does happen if you clear the board, but I don't know what.

That game can get really addictive especially if you keep almost making the next level.
If you clear all the balls from a level you get a double score (eg 10 points for clearing all 5 on the first level).
I managed 320+ish (can't remember) but that's because I got really lucky on the last level.
Must try that one again.

my best is 260 so far with no cleared levels. I'd say it's mostly luck, with some skill at the start of the level... which is why it's deathly addictive

Just kept clicking on level 12, then went back to "real work" and would check back in the Boomshine window to see how pathetic I did.
After 30 min I had the wonderful surprise that I got passed that last level, barely (55 hits). Total score today: 272
Once is enough. Got other things to get done today. Like eat.

If you clear the level in Boomshine, you get the total number of balls for that level, multiplied by Pi (3.141592.....) as a bonus for the level.

Thank ghod there is no level 13 with a 100% requirement - cause that would be next to impossible.
