Glitch in asteroid field game

[deathx88]

There seems to be some glitch with this game where when i reach a score of about 28 the entire interface disappears. I'm left with nothing on the screen except the asteroids coming at me. I'm still able to shoot them but it doesn't really help because the real main problem is that afterwards, it won't submit my score properly. I know i got well over the 32 points required, but when i submitted my name is doesn't show up in the high score list. This prevents me from getting my .50 cents bonus. I had the same problem last time this game was up, and I've tried both firefox and internet explorer and still the same problem with both.

Is there anyone that knows how to overcome this glitch? Maybe there should be a different game all together, this game has been up before as with the last 7 games. I think it's about time for some new ones.

Sorry for your troubles with this.  I'm not sure why that game doesn't work properly.  I'm taking suggestions for a replacement game.

Also, just so you know, the games are all going to repeat -- there are 12 games in the system, one for each month.  This puts a cap on the amount of bonuses that you can earn in order to keep our costs reasonable (we make basically nothing from the advertisements on the flash games).

I enjoyed the Egyptian Textrix game.  Never reached the bonus level, but at least I learned how to work the game and it offered some challenge over frustration.

There's another Textrix game; is that in your group of 12 that you use?

I'm glad you finally explained why the games stay the same, I've been wondering why there were never any new ones. I'll be looking forward to that new replacement game. Hopefully I'll be able to get the bonus for it.

I was going to ask for tips on how to play the Asteroid game, but if there's a glitch I might as well start practicing for next month's game.  I did get up to 9 tonight and was very proud of myself.  I don't know how you ever get to 32.  I just keep clicking and dodging as best I can, but guess I wasn't born to be a gamer!  Now if you'd put up a word game, I'd be very happy!

Thanks so much for posting this

How about Ultimate Blob?

I vote for Fruit Drop -- though you'd probably need to re-arrange the games since this is another form of Textrix.

I wanted that one too but thought the same thing! Can only have so many games that are alike

Okey dokey... it's been switched!

I changed my mind on Fruit Drop; the first level is pretty easy, but I found the use of the arrows to rotate the blocks were more difficult than with Egyptian Textrix -- plus the speed of the drops was very fast.

When I suggested Ultimate Blob I thought heck this is easy. Now I see the score we have to hit and I am nowhere near that lol
