I'm surprised, actually, that it took so long for the glitch to be discovered. I assume Dragon's Eye accidentally exploited it for that first 270000-odd score, and then suddenly earlier this month there were all the 80000+ scores popping up.
Ok, i got as far as 17, with 3-5 cakes and 4-6 heavys with the rest of the for plan being the ballooners.
It took some thinking to get there.
Wish i had the screen cap but i was doing a lot of things at once.
Another method is to fill the center with balloon-throwers, and then start adding the heavyweight net-throwers around level 6, just working your way from the beginning of the path toward the end.
I know, wasn't it? That's why I'm really glad the glitch was fixed, because it meant you could barely finish the game, letting lots through but not losing your life, and then bump your score up above someone who had managed to finish without letting ANY through. It's a lot fairer now! (Of course, now the top spot will keep changing. :D but that's fine.)
Well, I exploited it too, once I found out what it was -- and then it got boring. Initially I thought you could only exploit it if you finished the game with no losses, but then I realized you could let fangirls through, barely finish, and still exploit it. Grr.
I do wish there was a way for higher scores to be obtained legitimately. Someone suggested that the unused gold should be folded into the final score, to encourage strategizing, and I think that's a great idea -- if it can be implemented.
gotta figure out how to balance the time length and the left over gold... cause in a sense, you could have 10k gold left over but took you over 5000 seconds cause you let the wave reach near the end of the maze every round... or you could have like 1000 seconds and have only 1000 gold left over cause you stacked heavy hitters....

i gotta say though....stacking heavy hitters early on... i always have to change my tower placement and such...cant have anything the same, cause it may lag a split second and ruin the timing on everything or something like that....
