I found Gemcraft a few days ago myself, I love it! It’s addictive, and I’m glad I can save and come back to it whenever I like.
An interesting one I thought was kinda neat is Shift, where you can shift between the white and black areas to make your way through.
Level 16.
Back to the fray…
Actually, no, I never do the history thing.
What I like is the torture bit, at the end, after I’ve built up 28 towers to max and the stupid green guy keeps attempting suicide missions with his measley three batalions. I’m rather evil, much like a cat with a mouse.

“DIE YOU GREEN BASTARD! But sloooooooooowly.”

“You may have taken my right flank, fucker, but watch me take out yours with my stealth ninjas! HAHAHHAHA!”
There is a small possibility that I may be taking the game too seriously.
They are up to Shift 3 now.
Damn you, (shakes fist) damn you to - oo-ooh haven’t seen *that *monster before…
Oh, just a tiny possibility, he said while backing away slowly.
I have to admit I always like to let all my towers build up to max before I finish off the last enemy.
My best is like 28 or 29, and for a good part of the game I had 30 drops in the tank. I saw this solution on youtube but it’s in French, I don’t understand it.
Personally, I try to burst bubbles in this pattern:
XX
X
XX
(it’s supposed to be a Z, but I don’t know how to post it)
Or something close to it, in the middle of the screen. This is mostly hit, but as you see the bubbles burst, you will notice a pattern to it. When I get into the 20s, this pattern looks specifically helpful, but it turns out not to be.
My favorites are the one that take a long time to play out as the bursts go across screen.
You’ve got another victim…I got Ivylad hooked on it. Our daughter asked him, “Daddy, did you know you’ve been playing that game all morning?”
He hadn’t noticed.
I did my dash with Splashback ages ago (and then again a few months ago). Gemcraft (links in posts 18, 19 &25) has got me - even maggenkid took one look at it and was sucked into its gemmy goodness for a couple of hours - I only got her away from the computer with a crowbar and chocolate.
I haven’t had enough sleep for days - but I’m almost able to kill the first epic monster. I go to bed with status bars floating in the dark and dream of grade 7 combos.
Maggenkid played all three Shiftgames in one day and got bored with it!
I still have to contend the Binary Zoo games are amazing.

My favorite is Mono, which was actually their demo project while working on duo. They’re all amazing games, and Mono gets incredibly difficult later on.
To quote the sites accurate description of their newest game, Echoes:
“Yeah, it’s a bit like Asteroids hyperactive, drug crazed brother displayed in blur-o-vision© and viewed through psychedelic sunglasses in a cheap nightclub.”
Warning: They aren’t browser based, you have to do small downloads but I can attest that they’re completely safe and don’t take up much space on your drive.
Don’t go anywhere near The Tiger of Mysore.
Can you buy grapeshot?
Yea, the frantic click-click-click gets to be a little grindtastic after a while. It IS fun, though. 
Well, that’s annoying. Someone went to the trouble of creating a java program to hunt for the most efficient way to play the game, recorded and posted a video of how to use it, and didn’t bother to share the actual code. I wanna play with it 
well, click on the guy’s profile, and send him an email using that babel fish translater thingy - I think it a Yahoo thingy
Or, you could download that cheater’s software, follow the instructions on the Hacker’s video, and cheat your way to infinity
What’s the logic? under what conditions do you get extra drops?
Well, that’s the point, the software isn’t there to download. Anyhow, I don’t care about cheating so much, just seems like a fun program to play with, from a geek standpoint.
anyone? 
you’d think you get a new drop for every one burst, but it seems more like you get a new drop for every one burst by a drop that has been burst by your play - 2nd generation, 3rd gen, and beyond, but not for the first gen bursts. Excpet it’s not consistantly that either.
You get extra drops in the tank by bursting 3 bubbles in a row without putting in a drop yourself.
I think it’s 4 drops to make a bubble from a small circle (5 for a space with no circle). Bursting a bubble makes drops explode outward in 4 non-diagonal directions.
