So, I'd like to be the first person to officially ask... how do you do it man? Your scores are nutty crazy, I'd love to know your strategy. Tell us!!

hop (Rank 5th) says:

What should I say? It's a gift ,-]

I think after cracking the 7000 I'll stop playing for a while and use that time for a writeup of my strategy--although there really isn't much to it.

Until then: try harder! :-D

Captain Ged (Rank 586th) says:

"Try harder!"

That has to be the best single advice for strategy I've heard yet. That is soooo classic! Okay, I'm on it!

Lemmi (Rank 323rd) says:

Congratulations hop, cannot believe to reach this score but I have to try harder!
Greetings to Vienna and Austria from good old Germany.
Servus.

You are a machine among men!

artissoft (Rank 2128th) says:

Hey hop! Congratulations!! Did you know that Frenzic was programmed in Vienna?

Gabriel (Rank 8th) says:

DAM you immortal enemy of mine ,-)

Gabriel (Rank 8th) says:

MAN....those 7000 points are hard to get......:-)

hop (Rank 5th) says:

naaaa... you think? ,-)

got it on video. update later!

Gabriel (Rank 8th) says:

:-(.......you did it!!
Congratulations...........I guess its 8000 then......my wife is so much gonna hate me:-)

garrettmurray (Rank 472nd) says:

You gonna upload that video? =)

studiobanks (Rank 41st) says:

Ok. Question to the MAN.
In the options menu do you check the "Click in center advances to next"?

studiobanks (Rank 41st) says:

Follow up question. When working on geting a power up and you must decide between losing a life or losing the oh so close power up, what do you do?

hop (Rank 5th) says:

studiobanks: Yes, I have the "click center" option enabled. Helps saving time when the 2x special is counting down.

What I'm not really sure is, whether the speed increases simply with time or with your score. In the latter case the option would make a big difference.

Always save the life!

Captain Ged (Rank 586th) says:

The speed of the game increases as a function of time, not of your score. So the game progresses at the same rate no matter how well you are doing.

Tweebiscuit (Rank 110th) says:

So, when do we get to see that video, huh?

hop (Rank 5th) says:

I'm uploading it right now!

I had to go cold turkey from the computer for a while to get rid of that nasty Frenzic habit ,)

That and the flu :(

Captain Ged (Rank 586th) says:

Hop! Incredible! We'll publish a blurb about this in the next day or so. Feel free to post the link to it here in the comments if you wish. You are SO fast!

I see a few other tips from wathching this as well that I think players will enjoy seeing. Thanks so much!

hop (Rank 5th) says:

Gabriel (Rank 8th) says:

Thanks.....it helped a lot ,-)
Changed my strategy a bit after seeing it.

Gabriel (Rank 8th) says:

... :-(

artissoft (Rank 2128th) says:

Whoa! Sehr lässig! :-)

arnozigoto (Rank 18th) says:

very impressive! ... Damn, I need an upgrade of my internal circuitry...!

JonathanM (Rank 91st) says:

amazingly fast at the end

hop (Rank 5th) says:

1. thanks

2. fast, maybe, but i made looooots of mistakes

3. the trick is to be fast in the beginning as well

Gabriel (Rank 8th) says:

....9000 it is then

Gabriel (Rank 8th) says:

LOL......I had a feeling it woulden´t last long.

Gabriel (Rank 8th) says:

yep.....its getting to the point where its too time consuming. It takes about 25min for each game.
After I break the 9000 Im done!!
10k is impossible...... well maybe not.
But thanks for the good competition.

xtophercaa (Rank 784th) says:

You are like...a god to me. Awesome scores!

Robin Wright (Rank 1216th) says:

I can see that I have a long way to go. ,)

o90x42424 (Rank 603rd) says:

Hey anyone have any good advice for a beginner?

Gabriel (Rank 8th) says:

I HATE YOU.........,-)

Taffa (Rank 11th) says:

bigdaddymac (Rank 12th) says:

Oh Snap! You're almost to the 10k mark. Good job!

Captain Ged (Rank 586th) says:

Wow. Totally impressive!

isaacn86 (Rank 1711th) says:

i just started this game yesterday and i think its awsome but my highest score is a whoping 780 but it has improved from 300 slowly. Good job on the sick scores i really can't beleive that

Melonking (Rank 1697th) says:

Say you should make a blog with all your tips and how you get such huge points, gees the best iv got so far is 500!!!

Puck (Rank 34th) says:

Again, a new record! Congratulations!

hop (Rank 5th) says:

oh boy.

and silly me forgot to press the record button :-(

Sangh (Rank 46th) says:

oh no , I don't believe it ...........

Antony (Rank 24th) says:

over 10,000! Wow... I'm impressed! And slightly worried!

Keep up the good work!

Melonking (Rank 1697th) says:

well yes but you can do a good blog in aboult an hour.

SgtBeano (Rank 16th) says:

Damn, everytime I post up a good daily score you pound it into the ground. Much respect.

DJ_FoX_MaC_ClouD (Rank 336th) says:

You are the guy really...

SgtBeano (Rank 16th) says:

List of things todo before I die,

Learn to speak another language
See the Great Wall of China
Beat Hop
Go into space

:)

hop (Rank 5th) says:

Beat my own high score by _one_ point..? How ridculous is that?

And it was a lousy game, too. Almost died at around 150 points.

But I've got the video! Now bed, link tomorrow.

Taffa (Rank 11th) says:

I look forward to that.

Puck (Rank 34th) says:

Alright, I am officially scared.

hop (Rank 5th) says:

The video is finally online. Strangely, I've got a couple dozen views before even anouncing it... :-)

I split it in three parts, so you don't have to watch the boring middle ,)

"ready..." http://one.revver.com/watch/413898/flv/affiliate/87103

"set..." http://one.revver.com/watch/412995/flv/affiliate/87103

"...where is everybody?" http://one.revver.com/watch/413020/flv/affiliate/87103

Maybe sombody can compare it to the old video and tell me what I learned in between, because I can't figure it out.

http://one.revver.com/watch/263314/flv/affiliate/87103

Captain Ged (Rank 586th) says:

I've said it before and I'll say it again, we're not worthy! We're not worthy! That video is remarkable.

Amazing how consistent you are on the slow timer power up. That is obviously the key.

artissoft (Rank 2128th) says:

Incredible. I am speechless. Plem-Plem!

Kitty (Rank 1801st) says:

What an IMPRESSIVE score!!!! Congratulations hop!!!

Melonking (Rank 1697th) says:

GOOO HOP GO HOP GO HOP, YOU CAN WIN

Melonking (Rank 1697th) says:

What hapend to Chocky he just vanished well atleast you are the hed again

Gabriel (Rank 8th) says:

OK this is the thanks you get for taking vaication....... insane highscore you have now......grrrrrr

Nacho (Rank 4th) says:

Yeah really insane.
Actually hops videos helped me out a bunch to improve my scores.

FrenzicPrincess (Rank 638th) says:

Are you ever plagued by thoughts that someone might actually beat you? I don't suppose so : )

You are superb... I just started today and my best was 1376 *sighs*, I don't even dream of being in the top 100...

Thanks so much for the videos, they were amazing! One thing I'll change in the way I play... I'm always saving the power-ups till I need them, but you just click as soon as you get them, so that might help me : )

Forever In Awe,

FrenzicPrincess

FrenzicPrincess (Rank 638th) says:

Aha! Use the keyboard... Got it : ) *bows to hop's superior knowledge of the game* Thanks for the tip, I didn't even know you could use the keyboard.

Lots of Luck,

FrenzicPrincess

SlicerX (Rank 15th) says:

Is it just me, or does every time you hit the nuke, time slowly speeds up?

Meh Beh (Rank 95th) says:

meh

hop (Rank 5th) says:

try what i might, i cannot rise my single color stat. what gives? how is that calculated?

artissoft (Rank 2128th) says:

The single vs. random color stat gives the percentage of all the pies you filled, i.e. all pies filled with random color vs. all pies filled with single color pies.

This is for all the pies you ever filled, beginning with your first game of Frenzic!

After all these games you played it will be very difficult to see a change here. Better fill circles with only one color from now on, and repeat this very often. :-)

hop (Rank 5th) says:

which is _exactly_ what i've been doing for the past view months.

granted, i overall don't play as much anymore :)

SlicerX (Rank 15th) says:

GO ISABEL!!!!

SlicerX (Rank 15th) says:

Silence...
Come on guys...

Bonzo (Rank 49th) says:

Ich fuehle mich ganz schoen dumm, wenn ich Deine Videos gucke. Ich glaube Du bist ein Roboter. Hut ab!

hop (Rank 5th) says:

That settles it, I'd say...

Nacho (Rank 4th) says:

Wow. Hop is back.
I'll manage to get some time to play and try to beat you :p

Bonzo (Rank 49th) says:

Man, why are you playing the desktop version? Come to the iPhone-Frenzic. That's where all the bigg action is.

Nacho (Rank 4th) says:

Not everyone can afford an Iphone :)
