Lightning Break (Pool)

[DIsbe]

Is anyone having problems getting past level 8? Its not giving me any points for some reason.

[DIsbe]

Nevermind, its working now.

[stew3369]

Level 10 is a bitch!!

[Big D]

Cool game...here's a link. I'll post a score when I get better...

~ Lightning Break (http://www.ebaumsworld.com/lightningbreak.html)

Edit: Nevermind...after playing the game for a bit, I found it to be quite annoying as an experienced pool player. Balls don't move very realistically, you can't control english or spin of ball, and the aiming system leaves a little to be desired. I can't stand failure, so I'm going to try to get better (on level 5 right now), but this game is sub par in my opinion...

[sharpemark]

Since nobody posted anything yet I guess I will set a standard with level 12. I could restart the game and get a high score but I'm just shooting for levels. BTW the game is saved so that you can continue on the same level if you go back to play again.

Level 11. I think this game hates me. Everytime i knock it in is when I dont need to :mad:

[jack ruby]

maybe i did something wrong, i dont know, but i was playing it and after 3 levels i had over 2100 points and then lost. but every game thereafter i was getting like 50-70 points only, just for my time. I consistently hit in the 7 ball but only got credit for it on my very first game. also i thought a break was hitting the red ball in and then a coloured ball...yet i never receive credit for those either...

hit me back if you have any idea whats wrong.

d...I equate this game to the Blitz/Street games in the arcades/console...it presents the basic game in a fast paced, energetic format so that anyone can pick it up and play.Yeah...I realize that...just don't like it as much. But I'm not onje to give up, so I'll be trying to get good at it anyway...

[stew3369]

I'm on level 29. After 20 it just replays the levels again

[sharpemark]

Stew do you have a screen capture of that?

[stew3369]

i know it;s been posted before,but how do i post a screen capture?

[JerkyMyTurky]

I'm on Level 19, screen shot here...

[stew3369]

On level 40 now and it's damn near impossible!

http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=16009&stc=1

[sharpemark]

Good work fellas. I'm still on 13. I've been so close so many times. How much time do they give you on 40?

[stew3369]

When you get to level 20 they give you 400
When you get to level 40 they give you 360

[Fryman]

wow that game kinda sux. if you wanna play a good pool game just go on yahoo! that's much more realistic than this

[stew3369]

Regular pool games bore me. I like this one because of the challenges. Keeps me interested. My opinion

[sharpemark]

If I wanted realistic I would play on my real pool table. I'm on 20 now.

[stew3369]

Just past 40!! Shit took a LONG time

[Big D]

wow that game kinda sux. if you wanna play a good pool game just go on yahoo! that's much more realistic than thisTotally agree with you man...the Yahoo pool game is so much better...but I'll take a real pool table any day of the week...and when I'm on, I'll school just about anybody.

So far on this game, I've gotten to ~ level 31 (http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=16025&stc=1)

I still hate this game so much...but I can't let a game get the best of me, so I'm still playing it. The thing that bugs the hell out of me is the way the balls move, and interact with each other...not like real pool, or other billiards games online. Just crappy programming in my opinion...and I still hate the aiming mechanism...bitch, bitch, bitch...

[dabomb]

i can't get past level 6 lol

[Slyshadow]

I never got the hang of this game. I dunno :confused:

[themanhere10]

i am having trouble at level 8. It says get a break of 30, but there are two problems. One is that it doesn’t count breaks as every time you hit a ball, its when you get the right one in. Secondly, even if I get the first red, on the first shot, it still says game over???

[Big D]

Alright, I've gotten to...

~ level 35 (http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=16070&stc=1)

I still hate this game...


Edit: I'm done for now...no more...

~ level 50 (http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=16074&stc=1)

[stew3369]

I am about done as well!

http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=16191&stc=1

[lubeedude]

i just beat level 20 with 11 sec left on the timer.

[Big D]

I am about done as well!

http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=16191&stc=1Great job man...I could get there if I put the time in, but I don't want to anymore. Maybe after awhile, once I'm not so annoyed by this game. I hate it, yet I make myself play it...oh it sucks.

[NONE9999]

I have to agree with you guys, the aiming is horrible, and Yahoo is alot better! I couldn't even continue playing after I got past the first couple of levels

[stuckatwork]

having a hard time with level 50......

[JimBeam]

After beating level 40 it was a breeze for me... i beat 12 levels in a row then lost at level 52, and i'm not gonna try again right now cos it's late and i'm going to bed. Here's a couple of screenshot's though:

My high score (http://members.optusnet.com.au/~gt3drifter/lpoolhighscore.JPG)
Level 52 (http://members.optusnet.com.au/~gt3drifter/lpoollevel52.JPG)

Will post some more screen shots when i get further in the game.

[Getsmacked]

holy shit does this game ever end, I'm on level 58, it's very simple once u get the hang of it. I just hit the balls as hard as i can everytime and most of the time it will go in

[Spank666]

Hmm....once I get to level six it stops giving me points....

[JimBeam]

Doesn't work for me. Usually the wrong ball's go in and I get a lot of fouls, running the time down very quickly. I find it's a lot easier if you just take your time on every shot, if you can't get a clear shot at a ball/pocket just hit softly to set the ball up for an easy pot on your next shot.

[stew3369]

I am on level 80 right now and they give you 280 seconds to score a 147. I got to 136 once, Damn near impossible, but will keep trying

[__zBullet_]

How did this happen? (http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=16356&stc=1)

Riiight...

It keeps happening to me now...stupid glitch.

[stew3369]

just close the game and open it again. it happened to me once

[Fryman]

wow i said this game sucks but now i'm so pissed off at it i'm determined to beat it!!! i still think the aiming is gay but oh well. i'm only on level 10 =P or 11 i think i'm on the one where you have to get 41 breaks exactly

[Big D]

wow i said this game sucks but now i'm so pissed off at it i'm determined to beat it!!!Thats what happened to me! Run now, dude! Run for your life!

Yeah same thing happened to me once too. It happened when I potted the red ball, it sunk into the pocket but didnt register with the game, so the ball was now off the table and i got no points for it. I tried potting some coloured balls but i just got fouled with every ball i potted and the red never came back.

Keep getting messages to register my score to win prizes. What are the prizes and who is awarding them? Is there a link to get this info?

[stew3369]

Level 100 and done!! No way to rack 147 in 240 seconds

http://forum.ebaumsworld.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=16930&stc=1

[stew3369]

High as i can get is 110 on level 100

[Ginzo]

Stew, correct me if i am wrong, but your screen shots look horribly edited. :cool: looks like someone has photoshop

[YourBrainIsGod]

I hate this game with a passion but I'm oddly addicted. I can't get the balls to move right, I'm too used to actual pool. I can't chip them in, and one time I had about 40 seconds left and i hit a ball to go in and it froze for a moment and then the balls started moving around unbelievably fast and i got about 5 wrong balls in and i had about 4 seconds left. This game is obnoxious. I hate how they put the ball back on the table right when you're taking your shot and its randomly placed right in front, but you don't notice until it's too late. I HATE THIS GAME, BUT IT'S ADDICTING AS HELL!

[stew3369]

Ginzo, your corrected. Are you kidding me??? I have been posting on this game since the beginning. Their is nothing fake about them... If you can get that far, i understand and may even help.. hahahaha, but yes they are real

[unbeltedjoker]

why on your pictures is there all 0's on your scores for each level on that page....how can you pass the level with 0 points? if you can explain that'd be good.

[JimBeam]

I think it doesn't save those stats after level 20. I was wandering the same thing when i saw his screen shot so i opened the game and none of my games/high score/average stats were saved past level 20. I'm only up to level 53 but yeah i believe this may be the problem, and that is why you see all 0's for his scores. I don't see how these screen shots may have been faked, everyone claiming that his pictures were photoshop'd are just jealous cos they can't do that good. Every time someone gets a great score on a game, there will be some jealous idiot accusing him of faking the picture.

[stew3369]

Thanks Jim, when you try on a level and fail you lose your points when you restart the level. That is why they say zero, because i post after i have tried it a few times. Not really worth anything to me to cheat, not like getting a high score on here is going to get you laid!!!!!

[subtlebob]

i got to level 13 and now it won't save after i beat it and every time i come back it's still on 13

the game first appeared here I think:
www.playaholics.com

[ImTheBestPerson]

I hate this game, I was about to beat level 13 (ya I suck, I've been there for like 2 weeks) well anyway I knocked in the 3 ball for my last points and instead of giving me the points it just made the ball dissapear and made me keep playing. I lost with only 39 fucking points (I needed 40). I hope the programmers go to hell! :mad:

[SJK18]

now on level 40 and i cant beat the fucker best so far was a break of 123 out of the 147 needed...ill beat it soon hopefully :)

[sammybabe]

[SJK18]

Been stuck on level 40 for days just cant beat it...getting worse at worse...about ready to give up

[MotoXQT38]
