..because it's sucking down the battery! I started with almost full, played an hour and a half and oops...less than half left. It's even more addictive now that I finally figured out how to get big multipliers.

I was just gonna play for a few minutes... :eek:

i guess to each their own. i tried aurora feint (was finally able to get past the splash screen when updated firmware to 2.1) and quite frankly i was bored out of my mind. i get far more enjoyment out of bejeweled. but i'm in the minority as i understand it, aurora feint is quite popular

I don't "get" Aurora Feint either. I remember there was so much excitement about this app, and the fact that it was "so great for being free." But I too was bored out of my mind by playing it...

I don't understand what it is about the game... but I'm with the OP. Normally games of this genre don't last five minutes with me. And yet I'm obsessed with this one.

I was not so into it either until I started figuring out how to get bigger multipliers and now I'm obsessed with getting more and more and acquiring more and more levels, skills, etc.. I agree though...the first time I played it I was like "meh"... and then didn't come back to it for a week or so.

I've always liked the bejeweled type games but this one definitely brings a new dimension to that with the horizontal/vertical play and the levels and acquiring of resources and stuff. You're going for more than just a good score.

To each his own though...personally I don't get the infatuation with the "hidden objects" games by some people. Read the reviews for The Stone of Destiny and you'll see what I mean.

So we need to make this the official Aurora Feint thread, since there really doesn't seem to be one. :D

Some questions...

- Okay, now I know that I can double tap blocks to change them into the tools I loaded up during blueprint building... but regarding tools, I still don't really understand what the 2x and 3x tools (Strategist and Furie) do.

- Do the friend codes actually serve any valuable function at this time?

How far have you guys/gals/etc gotten levelwise?
