How on EARTH did someone get 354??? (that's the current high) I am
not sure that's mathematically possible!

I was sure that 354 must be a hack (no disparagement or accusation intended
- just astonishment =O ) but I have managed 363 myself.  I can't imagine
where to shave off nine more but neither could I imagine before it happened
the 14 I shaved off in a long afternoon today.

Well I shaved a FEW more off but clearly have a loooong way to go. This game
is great because (except for a few rooms like Running the Gauntlet and
Junkbot Is Brave which I have complained about before as being all
coordination and no skill) it rewards clever thinking, especially thinking
about how to build things that are reusable several times.

I have to remove myself from the game a couple days at a time so I can
attack it with a fresh perspective and not just repeat my former tactics.
It's proven valuable that the overall game is so big because I often can't
remember how I get my best scores (like 14 on The Freezer) and am forced to
think things through more or less from scratch.

So I'm guessing that you're not even going to be ABLE to give any hints on
improving one's score, eh? :-) I JUST broke 500 and boy what a struggle that
was. Freezer has me stumped, I'm still at 40.

(...) Biggest help to me on that screen was to think big. Instead of clearing a path a brick or two at a time, grab a whole pile, let Junkbot walk "through" them and put them back basically right were they were. For example, you should be able to (...)
