na dude,
I trust you.
i only posted my screen shot because I was battle hard once apon a time!~!

congrats!!

I always die on that "big U" level.. my high score is 9510.. one day i will crack the elusive 10,000 point barrier

good luck!!
 

my only advice for the "big up"
is to built up lives.....and once it drops once die on purpose!!
it will by you more time before it drops again......

i'm clossing on the 20,000 mark!! woo hoo!!
I'll post when/if I bet it!!

Thanks Mike. How often have you managed to pass the "Big U" level? Do you make it past all the time? How many lives to you usually have when you get there? And how long before it drops again after dying on purpose? Is it worth dying AGAIN on purpose after it drops a second time? As you can tell, the "Big U" has actually broken the spell and broken my addiction for the game. Since I can't make it past that level, I can no longer play.

PLEASE help me get my addiction back!

Ian

HAHAHA
 

yes it is worth it.... (y)
after the first time....i think it takes (12) paddle hit..
the next time it will be (8) paddle hits....
the thrid time will be (6)......it stays there!!! :D :D :D
remember back in the old days where the game would get played unless (we) got a guns on the frist level...
thats how I play now.........but I look for (lives) (y)

I've had 22 lives when i got to "the big U"
left the level with 12 I think!! (n) (n) (n)


see ya in rehab!!

8735 on 4.0


I hate the CATCH and FLIP, don't care for WRAP either.

What's with the SLOW drop? I don't notice a difference when I get it. Also, is it my imagination or does the ball speed up ever so slightly when you hold the SPACE key?

How can I get it to drop LIFE all the time?

I'm currently at 8485 on version 4.0.

The worst is when you loan your BlackBerry to someone so they can play and they get the high score on BrickBreaker. Nothing so damaging to the dignity as someone else's high score on your own device! I'm proud of my 8000 mark, but hope to break the 10k barrier soon.

My high score is 6890, and I'm feverishly trying to reach the 7000 mark. I heard a rumor that 7500 is possible on the 3.7 version. My office has a pool for the first person to reach 7500.

Man, I thought I was doing well with ~4800. You guys are putting me to shame!

9025 on 4.0 (TELUS 7510).

An important update from the offices in Arlington, The race to reach 7500 can only be compared to the homerun race of 1998. After reaching 6955, a colleague was happy to announce his score only to have it shattered 15 minutes later with a score of 7180. I have now realized the potential of brickbreaker, 8000 is possible.

I think 8000 is the limit for the BrickBreaker in OS version 3.7

This does not apply to the newer version of BrickBreaker in OS version 4.0 though.

My score
 

the highest i have posted is 7075...about 2 weeks ago..

The quest for 8000 is costing me my insanity. Should this game be taking up so much of my time. I look forward to standing in lines and waiting on hold at my desk so that I can, without guilt, play the freaking game. Having said all of that, I should have a higher score, but I'm stuck at 7480. Has anyone attempted writing a walkthrough strategy guide for each level on BB 3.7?

The key to the getting past the "Big U" level on the first shot is to get the "catch" on the first pass when the level's only module drops.
The only other helpful modules are the "long" & the "gun" (to shoot out the bottom 3 permanent squares). If anything else drops, you're best bet is to build up lives & die on purpose, or hope you're very skilled at moving the paddle with the ball bouncing a millimeter away!

My high score is 14885 on OS 4.0 8-)

I just posted 8420 on 4.0. I cannot figure out the physics of this game though. What makes the ball take odd bounces off the walls and sled. And what does SLOW do? Nothing?!

Such an addicting game...
 

I would have to say that this game is the most addicting game that I have ever played on any phone that I have bought. What is really awesome is that this game came preloaded. Usually, most pre-loaded games suck. However on version 4.0 my highst score is 6195. (n) Anyways, I'll keep on trying. :razz:

Is the Big U level, level 6 on 3.7? if so I have process for easily completing the level. at the start of the level immediately scroll flush left and then back three spaces. Launch the ball and the ball should navigate the left column and into the U. The ball will immediately come back out, DO NOT move the paddle. The ball will again reenter the U and begin busting bricks until the pill is unlock. If you get a long pill then this method won't work. For best results of reaching 8000, you MUST get a gun. As the pill is falling, moving only TWO spaces to the right and stay there. The ball will fall again and much faster. DO NOT move the paddle until the ball hits it, then move two spaces back to the left. You are done.

9275 in 4.0 on a 7290
you know there is options to contorl the paddle speed and acceleration?
