Flash 8 is too awesome an upgrade to be missed.
The reason you only see a blue square is because your flash player can't detect filters, which are an addition for flash 8 (think simpler versions of photoshop filters, but dynamic, changable by code at runtime =D ).
Flash 8 also has a garbage routine so it makes stuff run faster.

Much better! I still had 32 lives and 168000 points when I decided to quit, but it was much more fun.

So far my best score is:

Score: 32496
Power orbs collected: 931. Bonus balls collected: 119. Bogus balls collected: 63. Overall problems complete: 245.

For some reason I am really bad at my own game. =p


I'd recommend reducing the amount of lives even further near the beginning of the game

I'll probably include this in the sequel. Better balancing, that is.

*edit*

What is desperately needed, I realised, is a difficulty setting. Players could set which difficulty to start at.

Some guy just offered me 50 USD to place a 6 second ad at the start of Colour Blast, and a "More games" button on the main menu.

- What is the average going rate for ads on newgrounds?
- Should I do it?
- What other stuff do I need to know?

I'm fairly new to newgrounds.

*edit*

I took the deal.

There's a way to cheat. Just move your block into the bottom-left corner off the screen, and nothing will hit you, but if you position yourself right, you can still collect orbs before they move onto the screen.

Sigh. Such a promising indie developer, already co-opted into the dreary and unimaginative world of corporate game manufacturing at such a tender young age!

Yeah, but in 50 years time even you'll be walking into Ela Corp. stores to buy your latest fix of Uber Robo Dancing 2056.

I got to about 300k points, but then I ran into a lot of those brown dots, I got clear then it happened again at around difficulty 20 and I went from 270k to 90k points.

I say don't do it, but thats just me. I made a boxing game that got got simi-popular(it was open sourced). Somebody turned it into a bush vs osama thing, not bad actualy. It was actualy really simple with very little action script.

What's the harm a 6 second ad do? It also gives me an insane amount of money for pretty low amount of work (since Flash is my hobby anyway- I'll I'm doing is adding an ad to the game).

It helps developers and causes a very tiny amount of extra waiting time for gamers!

Please, if you're going to post, make sure it's something that isn't already obvious. ;)
