Games I Totally Own: Smiley Popper

Posted by DiMono - February 25th, 2011


So there's this new medal game called Smiley Popper, which is essentially a remove tiles game on a 20x20 grid. Within 2 hours of it being released here on Newgrounds I did this (full game video, just under 10 minutes):

That combo of blues, by the way, was worth 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 points, or 1 less than 2^63. All other points are incidental. Sadly, the NG scoreboard only stores up to 2^32 points, so my score will forever be relegated to the tomb of 2 billion point games, but at least I have video evidence of my actual performance.

Several hours later, because I felt like playing a short game before going to bed, I fired the game up again and did this (only the end, less than 2 minutes):

.
/* */
That's 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,175 points for popping a group of 80 greens (2^80 - 1). A higher score is possible, but certainly not realistic; there's an E24 at the end of my score in the game. I thought I was done, but then I found out the website where the game was developed uses Mochi to save scores, which will actually save the full score rather than cutting off. So I played it again over there, and did this:

.
/* */
That's 9,671,406,556,917,033,397,649,407 points in a single drop. The next highest score on that site is 2^21 points behind me, meaning nobody else has gotten a drop bigger than 2^62. Now I'm done.

Thanks, this really helped. Did only a ~36 or so combo and got sumth like 400 000 000 000.... :) That's enough for the medal. I know this isn't a medal guide, but still.

damn man.....

I was wondering if it was even possible to get the million point medal when all I could get was not even 100K. Nice video guide, but question, wouldn't it be easier to start from top to bottom? That way whatever smileys you pop wouldn't really disrupt the lineup too much?

The idea is to pop smileys in whichever order gets the most of a single colour together. Top or bottom on its own doesn't matter.
