I got to level 3. >_<

The key is to not pop them prematurely. I made it to 13 once, but I think it's a lot luck based too.

Pretty cool, seem it is alot of luck too. I got lvl 6 on first try, other attempts faired less.
Thanks ******** i for one love all the little flash games you dig up.

Thank StumbleUpon. When I'm bored or waiting on a long query/compile, I just keep clicking that until I find something interesting.

13 that time.

Do you guys ever increase puddles that aren't at the max? whats your strategy?

Yeah, try to set up chains. That's really important.

And don't click in an empty square accidentally like I just did. Whoever though that would be a good idea sucks.

My mother would be so proud.

15. So far, the strategy that works for me is to get multiple almost bursting bubbles set up in a row before clicking.

Splat.

Okay, I quit now. I was only 1 drop from beating 25, but couldn't pull it out.

Level 15 for me...

Okay after trying for weeks I think I found a way to get to decent levels pretty regularly...

the main thing is to pop bubbles in three's. When you do that you get a bubble back. That way you get back your bubble that you used to pop the others.

Also when you pop bubbles they shoot off a water droplet in the cardinal directions (NSWE) thus advancing a bubble in it's path to the next biggest bubble. Setting off chains is a great way to clear the field BUT since I (personally) can't calculate out all the possiblilities I just go with trying for 3 bubbles popped with my one bubble thus making it a wash (no pun intended).

I have gotten to level 27 (cleared) but consistently get 20+

Made it to level 32 today :) So that means I cleared 31 before pooping out.

Damn, and I thought I was addicted to it.
