So far, there are only 5 blockout scores submitted for the championship. Everything above zero will get you a 6th place and a point in WCC3. Can't promise you it will stay that way, though. There's still a few more days left of the first round.

Looks like I'm the only one enjoying this game. :?

Actually it's 5 with you, dskys. Phil isn't participating. So there's still room for one more. Go get it, mfm005! :)

The fact that I enjoy it is the only reason I'm still playing since my scores stink. Just now getting 44k after a week of playing. Had never played the game before. Never played Tetris either.

I submit succesfully but now don't work SEARCH.

To few players start in WCC3. Why?
I think that I know. I talk with my friends from HotTeam. Block Out deter players because is hard and boring. If first game will be more interesting that number of players will be higher.
Block Out is game for puzzleman not for players.

So if Phil will accept, i submit my score here.

Isn't that the beauty of this tournament? You can choose only to play those games you are interested in. On the other hand, it's dangerous to skip games if you're planning to win the championship. :)

Hard and boring? Most games are hard before you know them, be it puzzles or shooters. But I do agree that Block Out is a bit boring. Mainly because it doesn't get very interesting until level 20. So you basically spend 15-20 minutes just getting to the interesting part. If you make a mistake at round 20, it's back to 20 more minutes of boring play.

The game would benefit from starting at round 20, both for playing and watching. But unfortunately you get more points for doing all rounds.

But that's just a puzzleman's opinion. :wink:
