Xi Go

[SmoothCriminal]

I'm tryin to work up better strategys. I usually build up a 6 chain then just add more and more and more to it until I run out of time, but sometimes I fuck around too much and lose a 100+ chain.(hence my last score posted, high level with low score)

Well, I am getting the hang of it (sort of). I got 1,396,227 level 59. I had a much higher level run (94) but not nearly as many points. I tend to lose almost all of my combo during the -9 levels. The only thing that I tried to do here was stuff 2 2's next to each other just to keep it locked. Anything else work better?

I'm gonna play a bunch of standard Xi Go now and bump down some people. Then I'll start some limited games and try that out.

Let's blow some shit up.

Picked up this game today for £13 new, which I was pretty happy about considering I'd been watching it sit on the shelf for £28 for bloody ages. I've been playing for a few hours, and here's my best:

Xi Go (Bombastic) Rules/Standard
1,713,231 Level 48.


I remember playing the original Devil Dice way back in the day, and I remember it as being a really fun puzzle game, and Bombastic proves me right!

I tend to lose almost all of my combo during the -9 levels. The only thing that I tried to do here was stuff 2 2's next to each other just to keep it locked. Anything else work better?

I've found I have the same problem, but the only other solution as far as I can see, is to try and get a whole lotta 1's next to each other, and let them slowly blow each other up, hopefully giving you the time to start off more chains elsewhere.

Gave this a shot for the first time. Damn, this is a fun game.

Xi Go Standard: 21332, combo 066, level 09.

Make that Xi Go Standard: 107139, Level 32

Improvement!

Xi Go (Bombastic) Rules/Standard
2,844,543 Level 59.

Tell you what, those white exploding dice are insane! Screw keeping a combo going, gotta try and find a dice to stand on that won't explode!

Big Edit!

Screw that improvement, I played some more tonight, actually accidentally started a standard instead of a limited game, and ended up with:

Xi Go (Bombastic) Rules/Standard
4,227,218 Level 99.

Died on level bloody 99! I'm pretty sure I was veeeery close to 100 as well. I don't think you get anything for completing it anyhow, but it'd have been nice to. My max combo was pretty low at 251, because I still hadn't really worked out a decent strategy for the x9 levels. One thing that worked was to forward plan a little; on every x8 level, try and build up some small combos just before you tip over into x9, and they should all explode to jump you into the next x0, thus you only have to deal with a few exploding white ones.

Dunno if that'll help anyone, but it makes sense to me.

Alright. Xi Go Standard , 473658, lvl 42

Long time for no progress in this thread. I've been playing recently and got some major scoring.

Bombastic mode
Standard, 23646887, lv99
Limited, 180408, combo48

Xi Go/Standard

1843718, lv 52

First game in months, and I beat my previous high, and in less time. Would have been higher too - when I died, I had several chains going. I tried to jam just one more six onto this humungous cluster of 6s, but wouldn't you know it....right as I placed it, they all exploded. Ah well.

Still haven't touched Story Mode. Addicted once more.
