That way people won't waste 20 dollars and still not be able to make a larger tower.

I mean seriously.

OMG!
you are sooo right!
the 300 goo ball limit is so stupid!

They should make the limit 1000 goo balls.
:D

What's the biggest tower you've made so far?



I agreed with you a while back, but since building higher has no purpose (really)  you're just trying to get the highest building possible, right now i'd say the average height is 33 meters, above that it's all skills.  50th to 21st place are all under 32 meters, past that it's hard to get a tower built that stays up, boosting the amount of balls would be pointless..

Spending 20 dollars on this game is far from a waste.

Seriously.

My highest is 19.5 meters using 152 out of 152 goo balls.
and my place is 7257 tallest in the world.

Right now I'm trying to get OCD on all levels, i just find building a tower fun  :D

having a "warning" saying that you only get 300 goo balls in the demo would be like having a "warning" in crysis that you still fight in a nano suit when you buy the full game.  ???

Some people seem really insecure about the size of their "tower"  ;D  :P

I know I have trouble keeping mine up. :-\

Re: Make the 300 ball limit more explicitMarius11/02/2008 - 14:26

Mine used to be largest in the world, but nowadays it has trouble staying up.

Those other people's towers have holes in them though ¬_¬

In theory, more balls could allow you to build a ridiculously large base at the bottom to allow for more support. Then again, there's probably a point at which a wider tower doesn't help matters.

Re: Make the 300 ball limit more explicitmartinarcand111/02/2008 - 18:07

in theory yes, put proportionally it'd be like having 300 goo balls  :P


with 300 balls: say you have a base of 10 meters, reaching 20 meters will be easy

20m / 10m
=2/1


with 600 balls: if you have a base of 30 meters, reaching 60 meters will be easy

60m / 30m
=2/1


1800 balls:
360m / 180m
=2/1


No matter how many balls you have, there's gonna be aheight that's really easy to build up to, past that point though it's gonna be harder.  If you can't build higher then the easy point, then having 200000 balls won't make a difference
