MONSTERS ATE MY CONDO Super Thread of Time Wasting Commiseration

I have played 1 day, 18 hours, 23 min... on my phone. No idea how long on the iPad.
I hit the 24 hour achievement in November ;_;

I really just want to see DJP post screenshots of his stats.

I think I'm addicted to green, it's just so immediately satisfying. But should I really be focused on upping my multiplier early in the game? Do you wait for cats to form or do you just take them when the opportunities arise?

i have green active like 80% of the time

What about going into mega early? Should I not focus on that until multiplier is super high?

Also, is there a pattern to to the monster swapping? Does just a random one come in each time?

I use peace so that red becomes a non-entity and try to balance between keeping blue active to boost game time and multiplier and swapping green and yellow to build more upgraded condos faster and to try to get into points boost before megazone. When I've gotten those transitions down well, I average about 25 billion in game; bad timing gets me at about 4-7 billion.

I like slow chain because that = more clocks, which = more game time and more chances to do a point boost into megazone. I also do the double pink boost and spend the first part of the game feeding all of my upgraded condos to blue, so the matches I'm making with pink condos which are already doubled because there are 2 identical pinks in them become quadrupled (ie, 2 clocks + 3 color match + blue = 20 seconds added to the clock; also it's easy in that zone to get 4 multipliers, which if you can tie them to a color match + blue is basically like... oh hey, my multiplier just jumped by 50+ in one go, neat)

Basically I know if I'm having a good game if I come out of double pink with my multiplier pushing 300

4269th, 6.447b, played for 10m56sec

Djp strategy otm

My longest game has only been 5m 47 secs.I just can't get blued clocks to add up.

Current goal is to get all the 50k hats. Only 1 out of 4 so far.

I play on the train every morning, which gives me about 20 minutes. I find that I have to do a couple games with just peace to warm up. There is nothing I hate more in the entire world than using 1000+ coin worth of boosts and then losing in 30 seconds because my brain is still asleep.

haha, that's why i never go that far... maybe after i get all the hats i'll feel comfortable with blowing all that coin. or i'll give in and buy the coin doubler

my coin grinding strategy is to just use the peace boost and feed lots of upgraded condos to blue; you're only paying out 250 up front and if you can extend time long enough you can pretty easily pull back in 1000 coins in a 5 minute game

yeah, i must thank u again for the peace boost rec, A+

Yeah peace boost is easily the most important thing in the game

Although arguably the thing that also breaks the game, interestingly enough.

there is probably a strategy to be built out of using, say, double pink + slow chain + dog, whereby you feed the dog instantly to activate blue and yellow and then spend the double pink portion of the game also score 10x the points, plus you can keep yellow and blue both activated indefinitely as long as you feed a monster an upgraded condo and you don't go into megazone, but I for one am looking askance at spending 3750 coins on boosts until I can get to the point where every game I play lasts an hour

in fact dog would also be game-breaking if it wasn't so fucking expensive

Use it every time you get a free boost.

annoying fucking things about this game: It always turns off my music and it crashes on start up if you don't have a network connection.

Why did no one tell me there was a sequel OMG
