TOPIC | Fairgrounds: Tidal Trouble
Has anyone else had trouble keeping prize money? As soon as I click out of Tidal Trouble, all of the money I earned disappears and I'm back to what I was gold-wise before I played the game. It's super frustrating.

Is there a way to flag puzzles as "please take this out, almost literally unsolvable"? Just spent 30 min on a puzzle with 8 colors in a crazy jumble that requires one specific combination of bubbles to come up in the random generator. With the massive number of permutations that exist, it's highly unlikely that that will occur.

So it's not just me? I thought I was going crazy!
I have to ask - how many times is a puzzle played through before it's approved? Because I'm running into more and more puzzles where it feels like whoever approved it played through it once and got lucky on the RNG, and didn't realize how IMPOSSIBLE it was if you're not lucky on the RNG.
Then again, Barrier's impossible if the RNG hates you, and that was done by Thrage, so...

@Pandatao that was the first thing I did because I don't like to play with sound. :/ but it kept crashing anyway.

I can't get it to play. Keeps telling me it's unable to connect to the game server.

Cool game. Sometimes everything on the screen (not the background) disappears right as I shoot a bubble, sometimes messing up where I wanted the bubble to go. It happened quite frequently, which makes it pretty much unplayable. And the entire game screen suddenly started spinning out of control and wouldn't stop, ending my game and making me kind of not want to try again.
All in all, I'd like to wait until these issues are fixed to play again.

There absolutely needs to be a way to downvote bad puzzles, especially since we're stuck playing with whatever the community vomits out. A game like this demands some level of design sense to allow for the random nature of the bubble "ammo" and the soft "timer" of the descending bubbles so that there's at least half a chance of beating it.
Take a look at this one. Seems pretty simple right? Except that it's impossible. From the start you've only got a 50/50 chance of getting a bubble of the colors you need to start clearing the first row. The worst part however, is that between the complete lack of pre-existing combos in the puzzle and the tightly-packed nature of the bubbles, a 4-bubble combo is the biggest you can possibly hope to make with any sort of regularity. Any more than that is a matter of sheer luck and either popping one hanger from the end of a row, or getting rid of a cluster of "junk" shots, which is an extremely risky propositon.
This puzzle is complete and utter garbage, and there needs to be some way to get it and others like it out of rotation.
