The outpourings of a deranged mind

Lumines guru

After I don’t know how long (well over a year elapsed) I’ve finally managed to beat the final level in the Lumines vs CPU mode. Woo, go me :) I’ve also managed to get a new high score on challenge mode of in excess of 600,000 points. A quick perusal of the t’internetweb shows that most people get in the 100,000 to 200,000 range (with 200,000 being considered quite good). The highest score I’ve found thus far is 400,000 odd, of course I might not be looking hard enough :) . I did find out that there is a new skin unlocked when you score 999,999 in challenge mode which just sounds insane. If everything went my way and I didn’t loose concentration I could probably get 700,000 (but I think a million is a little too far, but then I used to think that getting 200,000 would be hard and I regularly get that without trying). Won’t stop me from trying though :D Out of interest I have people who know people in the games industry doing a bit of research as to what kind of high scores are being achieved by uber players and where 600,000 odd falls in the grand scheme of things. I’d like to think I was quite good but there may well be much sadder people out there who spend way more time than I do playing it.
