My theory for this ' maximum score ' rule... maybe the game isn't a rip off?

Livi · 08-26-2008, 12:03 PM

I begining to think... maybe the reason why some players don't get their kinzcash when they score higher than 100000 is because Ganz had to set a maximum score... and they didn't think that anyone would get that high... if that makes sense.
What I mean is... Ganz had to program it so that we recieve one kinzcash for each 250 points... and they have to keep programing each dollar... until they stop.. when they stop, that's the maximum score. Maybe Ganz didn't think kids/adults could score higher than 100000 ( cause let's face it... it's not that easy!! ).. so they stopped there.
Every game has a maximum score.... we just haven't reached it. Except for Smoothie Moves.
Maybe we could e-mail Ganz asking them to raise the maximum score to 200000??

What do you think?

The current accepted maximum allowable score is actually 89,000. I think people understand that Ganz didn't want cheaters to take advantage of this game (or any game) but they obviously grossly underestimated the abilty of the best players. People have beaten the maximum allowable score on their very first try! Obviously, I agree that Ganz should raise the maximum allowable score, and I think everyone on this board will agree with you.

That's a pretty good theory. You've increased my view of the subject.

I agree Livi, I think that would be a reasonable request!

I'm all for raising the cap or even removing it. 89000 is acually very easy, really, it doesn't take any particular skill. There are a few tricks that make getting there simple.

1. don't use the powerups as soon as they pop up...bank them so to speak. Remove everything in front of the powerups between them and the hole. Then if the line starts getting close just pop off a powerup and buy some time. Obviously the more you have in reserve the better.

2. Keep a steady rhythm. If the color in the shooter isn't anywhere in the line that you can immediately shoot then dump the color into any open space. Don't sit and wait for the match to come around.

3. If the combos happen then they happen. Don't wait and try to make them happen...SHOOT. Stay ahead of the game, don't let it get ahead of you.

4. Watch the taillights. Usually, not always, they will tell you the next color up. Look ahead and see if you have a shot, if not dump it.

Those are some very great tips.

Ganz cannot 'get rid' of the limit however, because they have to prgram each dollar, that' why you see kinzcash increase when you score more points, because Ganz promgramed it. They can only raise the limit, not get rid of it completely, or else we wouldn't score ANY money.

I am glad that I am not the only one...well I think I am glad. The first day the game was released in the USA I earned 551 KinzCash. I was so excited that I did a screen shot. Then I got the error message that I earned "More than a reasonable score" and I screen shot that. I e-mailed the support team and they wrote me back saying that they knew it was a glitch in the system and they would credit it to us. I even sent the screen shots. Still no credit. I have since been denied 3 more times.

How can they say it is unreasonable when so many are hitting too high of a score? They need to fix this! Those of us that are Zuma fans scored WAY higher than they thought...lol

I guess I'm lucky in a way, as I never played Zuma. Until Webkinz, I was never that into computer games....

I'm with you MetalMama. This is no glitch. The limit was deliberately set and so many have been cheated out of the money and written them they KNOW about it. I'm still waiting for my money too but I'm not holding my breath. Hitting 89900 is relatively easy if you know a few tricks to stay alive. Once I got the original message I've gone over about 4-5 more times. In total I've been cheated out of around $2500. I get into the game and forget to keep an eye on the score. They need to raise the limit quite a bit not just to 100000, more like 200,000 or 250,000.
