OK, I give it to you because you are also in my team - if that would be - the big Arkball cheat.

The Arkball cheat is... there is no cheat! It's only a little trick: after you finish some levels you just exit and copy your arkball directory to  a temporary directory and then you move on. Every time you pass a level you do the same thing. I f you loose a ball you restore the last saved directory and move on. You finish the 50 levels with no problems.

Is that understood? Then go for it Anthony...

Well, I also managed to complete all the levels of Arkaball using the same trick. However, I finished 2 of the levels early by using the "next level"  item. I should have given them a miss to improve my score.

BTW, did you guys know that u do not necessarily have to load the mini-games within AirIslands in order to earn the resource? You can actually load one game when you are not inside AirIslands. The next time you run AirIslands, the resource will be automatically credited in. This may be helpful to gain some "game time", especially for those who use the tricks for Arkaball and Xonix. However, if you play more than 1 mini-game outside AirIslands, only 1 type of resource will be accounted for.

Just wanted to say I managed to get the high score in Arkaball II without using the process that Guy described (restoring Arkaball directory).  I did make an effort to avoid the "Next level" item and tried to hit all metal blocks first if I got a "through" or "fireball" item.  I also stopped the game if a "death" item showed up that was too close to my ball.

As for Bubbles, play "Puzzle" game mode at "Easy" difficulty.  All levels, except the third level, will drop the bubbles after every ninth shot.  The third level will drop them after every 19 shots.

Plan your shots so that you can drop as many attached bubbles as you can.  Connected bubbles of the same color are worth 3 points each, but bubbles attached to them are worth 5 points each.  You should try to have at least 750-800 points after the first two levels.

Also, your ninth shot cannot allow a bubble to touch the rope, even if you make a color-connected shot....EXCEPT for the very first time you do it in a level.

I think 4000 points is possible, but I'm taking a break for a bit.
