		<description>This is a neat game, once you get passed the completely frightening alien on the splash screen.</description>

		<description>Level 5.  Fun game, but it seems like there&apos;s only one sequence to possibly beat some of the levels with even 10 drops, and otherwise you&apos;re screwed.</description>

		<description>I got to 13, but I didn&apos;t know the number of drops you get was cumulative. You have to be less wasteful in the early levels.</description>

		<description>These are characters from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/miguzi/&quot; title=&quot;Miguzi is pretty odd, but they show One Piece. One Piece is wonderfully odd.&quot;&gt;Miguzi&lt;/a&gt;, and the game has simply been lifted from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/games/arcade/miguzi/splashback/index.html&quot; title=&quot;Does that make this a pepsi blue?&quot;&gt;Cartoon Network&lt;/a&gt;.

So, since we&apos;re on the subject of Cartoon Network advergames, you should not miss &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobobo&quot; title=&quot;Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo is a very strange television program. Here is its detailed wikipedia entry.&quot;&gt;Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo&apos;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/games/action/bobobo/nosehairsoffury/index.html&quot; title=&quot;The entire plot, if you can call it that, of Bobobo Bo Bo-Bobo, revolves around Nose Hair.&quot;&gt;Nose Hairs of Fury&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>One of my faves. Never got past level 15, though.

It&apos;s all about set-up. Don&apos;t be afraid to seemingly waste a few blobs early on so that you can set up chain reactions.</description>

I don&apos;t know what sort of game that was, but now I&apos;m really interested!</description>

		<description>That really is a frightening alien. And the boy beside the playing surface is pretty weird-looking too.

The blobs are a little weird too. Neat game, though, I wish it held my attention more. For some reason it&apos;s easy to give up.</description>

		<description>Awesome game, I love anything with chain reactions. 

I got to level 20, the trick I think is to use around 8 drops to make sure you get &lt;em&gt;all&lt;/em&gt; of them in one go each time. That way you keep getting extra bonus drops. The levels don&apos;t get harder, its an endurance contest.</description>

		<description>Oh, good. Someone posted this. I was just about to, and I don&apos;t know how I missed it on the front page.

Last night I got level 13. Yeah, the trick is to try and set up full-board combos.

It&apos;s oddly satisfying in that &quot;tetris/columns/bejeweled way of clicking/arrange things and making them go away&quot; kind of way.

Anyone ever notice that many of these types of puzzle games seem to tickle the same part of the brain that picking scabs does? ;)</description>

		<description>Oh man this is a satisfying game. I just sat here for almost an hour and got to level 29 (curses!). The complex dynamics of it all is almost poetic. Or I may have been playing too long.

Anyone else like Puyo Puyo?</description>

		<description>Can anyone tell how drop rewards are related to combos?  There&apos;s a positive correlation, but what&apos;s the formula?

(Oh and highest level so far is 19 (18 cleared).)</description>

		<description>i got to 26 : &amp;gt;

drop rewards aren&apos;t connected at all--you only get 1 at the end of each level, no matter how many you&apos;ve gained or used during that level...i&apos;ve learned that every 3 or 4 pops gets you another drop during the level, and it&apos;s 3 i think if it&apos;s a combo thing.</description>
