Well, hold up: the problem other people were having was that the whole game slowed down permanently; ie, you could quit a minigame and the game would still be running slowly. Is that what you're experiencing, or are you just saying that some minigames are a bit more graphically taxing and so they run a bit slow?

What I meant was, if I start the app and go practice, and practice -say- odd one out, it takes like 10 games with no discernable slowdown. If I play Balloon Blaster, it's quicker.

The worst is the test. Don't know if it's the test MODE or that it goes through all (many) games, but overall, in about 3 consecutive tests (about 12-15 games), it's noticeably slower. It goes not clogged, but slow ENOUGH so that I can no longer play for score. It also seems to stutter a lot, like swapping, which makes -say- lanterns or what's-its-name ridiculous, at some point they all flash in a millisecond after a 3-second delay.

Exiting and re-entering fixes it, but not completely because after exit the OS swaps back, so I have to leave it a couple of minutes to finish to start 100% fresh. If i immediately restart, I get swaps in the first test.

I'll try to do more test.

I have no idea what could[...]

Not overclocked, not pushed, no custom kernel. A few apps running, but none does graphics or watching at the same time. I have recaller, shortcutd, etc, that have daemons, but none have any issues so far.

Great!

I have 3, the 4th (second) about Jewel Something is not in the Practice menu. Do they get there after a certain score?

It's intentional, otherwise someone could simply pop lots of poor choice balloons then pop one massive group and score 524,288 all at once and not make any other moves. There isn't a lot of room to add explanatory text in the help, and really it's not that common people make such large groups.

The help suggests that the more the merrier, so, well, there SHOULD be more people building mammoths. But
if the game should work like that I guess it's OK.

Perhaps the help should state something like "pop more to get the most score (max 16)" or similar, it would only take an extra 9 chars.
