    • @aGameScout
      @aGameScout  4 года назад +35

      now that makes more sense for a time that I was thinking of. Probably because I was estimating the speed of each piece falling all the way down. I wasn't thinking about the pieces going faster when the stack was high

  • @EebstertheGreat
    @EebstertheGreat 4 года назад +8

    Are you sure building up high is the best strategy early on? It does mean pieces don't have to fall as far (which is a big deal), but it also means you spend that much longer on level 0. It seems like the ideal strategy would be to build up 7 or 8 high and then try to reach 10 lines as soon as possible.

    • @aGameScout
      @aGameScout  4 года назад +4

      ooh interesting point. I’m not sure how much of a difference it would make though, the early levels are all very slow

    • @EebstertheGreat
      @EebstertheGreat 4 года назад +1

      ​@@aGameScout Until lvl 8, the speed progresses harmonically, so the time required to beat each level should decrease linearly up to that point. The speed increase doesn't feel like much, but that still adds up to a lot of time since you spend so long on those levels.

    • @cedrickbeal6108

      It's a challenge I came up with that starts as low as level 13. You maintain a perfect stack 12 rows high while trying to score as high as possible on Level 13 or higher, without the stack going below 6 rows. It was inspired by your B-Type 19 - 5 video.
