You know this game would be a whole lot eaiser if they didn't make you start the level all over again everytime you die.

I like Cracked up the most.

I found it got easier after practicing on level3.

some hints:

Do not shoot under the eggs, but shoot ahead of the eggs and they will bounce into your string,

Predict where the eggs will land and make sure you are not in there path.

When you break an egg they split upward, thus if you are close to the egg and under it, sometimes you are safe to break it,

get the smallest eggs before breaking the Largest eggs, this prevents it form getting too busy.

Level9 on the second game is Difficult

on the Second and THird game the level repeat on Level13 but the eggs now get smaller. and smaller eggs have more points. It is not hard to double your score within only a few levels.

always go for the sandwitch unless you already have them full.

I always avoid the Chili pepper since it usually makes me move too quick to avoid eggs.

If the game gets choppy it is usually because your CPU load is too high, try closing unneeded Taskbar applicaiton that may be running (on Windows) also when the game is choppy it does not paused (the choppyness is only in the display) so since the game continues to play if you can predict the movements well enough you may be able to avoid dying.

Good Luck

Monty -

Thanks to your tips on Cracking Up, I was finally able to get all the Coco prizes! It took me many, many tries. I used to hate it, but after playing it so many times, and strategizing it, I'm starting to like it now. Maybe that's because I'm better at it now?

I enjoy playing cracked up. I still play it about once every other week. The biggest problem I get while playing it is that BFAHP uses a High CPU Load. and with some of my backround processes it sometimes cause the games display to get jumpy. the problem with that is that the game is still playing and just the video gets chopped. thus it is easy to die when that happens. If anyone else experiences this, try closing other apps that are running in TaskManager(if you know what is safe to close) and the Toolbar. If you do not know what taskmanager is, ask a Compeuter Tech person for help.

Yes, we should petition them to allow you to start off from where you were last.
