Player Levels

Hey Beta Testers. Thank you for your help. To get this project up and running, We need a lot of volunteers. Share this blog with all your friends and encourage them to try our game.

Let's talk about Player Levels for a moment. There are four main levels in the game:
  1. Training Mode
  2. Moderate
  3. Difficult
  4. Challenging
Training Mode should give you a chance to discover what works well and what doesn't. There are four stages in this level. Each time you win a game you move to the next higher stage. You have only two rows of targets to remove and the number of columns increases as you move from stage to stage.

Moderate level adds a third row of targets and backs you off on the number of columns again. It also has four stages and progresses the same as Training Mode. Both of these first two levels give you a chance to perfect your 'End of Game Strategy'.

Difficult mode steps up the challenge to four rows of targets. This is where the game was originally. Winning is not as easy. If you lose five games in a row at this level, you will be demoted down to Moderate again. There are five stages to this level.

Challenging is. Does that make sense? When you work up to this level, it will. Now with five rows and nine columns, you start this level with a full field of 45 targets to remove. Hang in there and tough it out. If you can win two or three of these in a row you will have a huge high score. As with the previous level, if you lose five games in a row, you will be demoted down to Difficult again.

Do you see my high score in that window above? 191. We used to get demoted after three loses. I decided to give myself a break and changed it to 5. I'm at the 3rd level there and was demoted from the top more than once. I'm still looking for a score in the 200's. Can you do it?  Let us know, if you do.
