Decoder

[shadowstalker]

Every time I reach a score of 15,000+ the game boots me back to the 'Play Again" screen. I have the latest browser and flash player and I have only one game open at a time, and one browser open. Using Firefox. Can someone help with this aggravating problem? Thank you.

Hi shadowstalker ...

I have completed this game several times and never had an issue, with scores over 15,000.
I have never seen a menu or play again button ...
For me the game loads into the start of the first level, and after you fail a level or complete the game the score automatically submits.
There are 10 levels to complete.

Any chance of a screenshot of what it takes you too

Maybe try a different browser.
It is a great game, I find it very addictive.

Good luck + happy gaming.

Hello -White-Wolf-,

Thank you for replying to my question. The game is addictive and I've noticed that you never seem to have a problem. When I have the problem again I will post it. It's interesting to learn how your game loads, mine has never done that. When I lose I always get the "Play Again" screen. When I get a high "problem" score, the screen stays blank for a second or two longer than usual, then bounces me out to the "Play Again" screen.

Thanks for your thoughts. I will try a different browser and continue with the same browser to see if there is a difference between the two.

Hello -White-Wolf-,

I was bounced out of Decoder at 17000+. How do I post the screenshot? I've saved it to my desktop.

Thank you.

Yes I see you scored 17,454, well done.

When you say ...

Hello -White-Wolf-,

Thank you for helping me to upload my image. [img]http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/1563/91327743.jpg

Please note the "Play Again" option. This is always the screen I am sent to when I'm right in the middle of playing.

I am being forced to completely bare my utter ignorance:

I stumbled across this site and Decoder. Having found Decoder, I enjoy it because it requires logic, yes, some guesswork, but if you guess correctly, you must use logic to play the game successfully.

So......I never pay attention to what level I achieve. I'm interested only in beating my previous score. I keep track only of the time and my score. When you ask did my score submit, I have no idea. Is that important, and how do I determine that?

I do believe my time was excellent...plenty of time left on the clock. I was tooling along at a pretty good clip, however, I cannot swear unequivocally that I hit the red button in time for the score to transmit to the site before I was summarily bounced out of the game and back to the page in the screenshot.

If you can figure this out, I would really be grateful.

Thank you.

Hey I fixed the screenshot for you ...



Yes so that is your score submitted.
So either you are completing level 10, or using all guesses in a level, or running out of time.
Going from what you said you are completing the game.
So if you enter the correct order on the 10th level, as soon as you do that it will go straight to the page you have shown, which is displaying your submitted score / time ect.

So do you understand what I said
If you play any highscoring game here, that screenshot is what you get on every game.
Next time you play take note of the levels, watch after you complete the 10th
The 10th level is the final level of the game

So to me everything seems fine.
Yes there is luck involved, but way more skill.
Using smart moves you can cut your odds right down, even more so in later levels.

Oooooooh,

Thank you so much....for everything. I thought there were around 15 Levels, or better yet, unlimited Levels. Dumb, Duh Dumb, Dumb.

So, in order for me to increase my score, I have to guess more accurately in the beginning of the game? Is that what you're saying?

In other words, if I get the first 4 marbles correct at Level 1, Guess 1, I get a higher score than at Level 1, Guess 5, and so on through all the levels.

I suppose I haven't completely figured out the logic yet because I find it is a lot harder for me after Level 5, when the first 4 marbles are already in their places. If I eliminate the wrong marbles, but think I am on the right track, I am totally lost by the time I get to the end of the board and time runs out before I can figure it out. It's maddening, but so much fun.

Thank you very much, -White-Wolfe-. You are quite correct, I kept getting booted back to the infamous SS in the neighborhood of Level 9, but because I never look at the Levels it felt as though I was soaring higher and higher.

Oh well, enjoy playing and I'm looking forward to your next posted score.

You are very welcome

Yes just the 10 levels to complete.

You get a score after every level, the quicker you do each level the more points.
Very fun addictive game.

You keen for a Decoder tournament
I can list one, and send you a invite.

[shadowstalker]

I finally saw it! "You Cracked the Code" That's the first time I ever noticed that, just as you said, Level 10, but only 14,000+.

What do I have to do to play a tournament?

[-White-Wolf-]

[shadowstalker]

Pardon my ignorance....but do I need to ante something and how? Thanks.

[-White-Wolf-]

[shadowstalker]

Thank you for your generosity.

Well, I hope lots of people enter the tournament and that you regain all the credits you invested in this tournament.

I shall do my best to keep you from getting my ten credits.

So far, as you can see, I'm not doing very well.
