    Funny, I was just now trying to get the lowest score on Cat Trap.
    But you're right, it's not that easy.
    I can't get lower than 57.... :)

    I understand that there is some confusion about my "highest" score on lvl 86. Therefore I put up a picture of the miraculous path in my profile. I hope that clears it. :cool:

    I think we would all by it cp golf. Different board. Or an update that has a lo score challenge like on ce where you bounce the egg. Could not be that hard for them to make. But 2 should be starting point way harder to get 2 points than 1.

    Well done. I can only get 63. And trap door has to fall forward.

    No kidding! I loved the game when it came out...I Was one of the first to say they had gotten 3 stars on all the levels. But the dedication that people have shown to the game is mind-blowing.

    How about a helpful observation instead of a rant for once? ;)

    I'm still in the process of trying to get level 49. Why? I don't know, just a point I feel I need to get. For the longest time I swear I've been firing the ball at the right time. And thanks to Garfield's latest path, I have been comparing my path and seeing that I do indeed fire the ball at the right time.

    What is odd, is that even when my initial path to the second arrow was the same, I was getting very different results after the second arrow. Namely, I couldn't get better than a 535 because the ball arced to high over the rock.

    I've since observed that the timing of the arrows changes over time. You basically cannot get a 540 in the first five minutes of playing. So as time goes on, you'll notice that the trajectory of the ball gets lower going over the rock wall. So there is a sweet spot within the 5-10 minute range where you can hit 540. I've hit a ton of 539s. I even had a path that matched Garfield's 540 exactly, and I still got 539.

    But if you wait too long, then even with a perfect launch, the ball won't clear the rock wall. At that time you need to reset.

    Anyway, I thought that info might help some folks. I kept taking the quick and easy 535s, and figured I'd just get it next time. It wasn't until I said "screw that", and reset to launch again that I noticed the change in the path of the ball over time.

    Good luck!

    This is one useful hint. Thanks Mike. I always suspected they would make a prime number relation between the arrow speeds so you can hit the top score only every xxx seconds.

    Edit: what do you think is the right moment? Max elevation of the first arrow? Before? After?

    Well, there definitely is a relation between the arrow speeds in this case, and you have a specific window to hit the high score. The fact that Queen hit this in the first place is amazing enough. But I'm happy it clears all my confusion as to why I always thought I had a perfect shot in the first 5 minutes, yet I came nowhere close to the correct path.

    Best thing to do is check a screen of the 540 path and look at the second green dash to see where it is. Then fire for that spot. That spot appears to be just before the MAX elevation of the first arrow. And you need to fire BEFORE the arrow hits that MAX elevation.

    I've definitely got the timing down now. Just a matter of time and luck.

    Low score masters: let us make a small competition with level 63. I tried for a while but could not get lower than 523. Edit 465.

    I just got a second 539 path that matches Garfield's 540 path. No variation! How is that? I don't understand why I can have the same path and a different score. The scoring system is screwy here!

    EDIT: Same path again and hit 540!!! Once I realized you have to wait around 5 minutes it was super easy. Actually just discovered that timing today and got the point. So hopefully that helps the rest of you.

    Is there a special way of getting the trapdoor glitch to work on Level 78 (Bounce Bounce Bounce)?

    I've only ever managed to make it happen once - and then I squandered the next shot which didn't quite reach the tail!

    If I remember correctly, you need to aim for the upper half (corner) of the button. For whatever reason, hitting the button up high made it easier to glitch the door.

    It felt like Donut Games tried to fix the trapdoor glitch starting with those levels, but didn't quite succeed. The only thing they did was make it harder to do. :)
