I mentioned, recently, that I reached the end of the "tournaments" for Bejeweled Blitz, and was thinking of just accumulating up to 1M coins available.
Well, I got up to 750,000 (exactly, actually) coins a couple days ago, then got to daily spin. Then I won, for the first time ever, the 1M coin prize. So now what? Have to think about it.
My average score has certainly improved a lot. I'm down to probably 1 in 3 games that doesn't clear 100k, but otherwise not much to do. Maybe I should just delete it, so I don't wasting time with it.

Lightning note
Recently mentioned progress on Bejeweled Blitz. Well, I said that I was getting close to the end of tournament progress, just based on how close I was getting to my personal high score.
It turns out that I was even closer than I thought, because the Phoenix at 1M points is the last one. When you defeat it, it shows up at the top of the list again the next week, again at 1M points (all others increase their scores a bit after being defeated). So I think that's the end of the road.
I guess my next goal in the game will be to try to reach 1M coins available (I've gotten a little over 800k before, and am currently at 640k).

Virtual jewelery
I've gotten away from playing the classic bejeweled lately, although I've still been working my way through Candy Crush (I even paid to get past a level once, on 147. I'd played it thirty or forty times without getting close, then ran out of moves with a guaranteed finish in two moves. Of course, playing it again on my phone, I got past it fairly quickly without cheating. *sigh*).
But I've somehow ended up playing Bejeweled Blitz again (which I'd played briefly for a while before finding classic). I can't decide whether I like it better or not. It's harder to stop, since it's so fast-paced (insanely so, at times), but the games are much shorter. And because of the pace, you really don't want to try playing it right before bed.
Anyway, one thing that annoys me finally struck me. When starting a game, you need to hit Play twice, and (often) buy (or defer buying) a power-up in between. Buying that power-up required a button push, with the button placed exactly where both of the play buttons are. That's a subtle way to strongly force someone to buy that power-up (not long before I noticed that, I'd accidentally bought it once, and wondered how that happened. And even knowing that, I've bought it accidentally a couple of times; once because I hit play before the screen to ask appeared). Not nice.
Anyway, my high score is now a bit over a million. I'm thinking that my odds of beating that score are very low, although I've cleared 500k sixteen times (oddly, eight times each on my ipad and iphone). While my high score has gone up a lot the last couple of weeks, I don't feel like the average has done much. It seems mostly due to luck in crystal arrangement for variations in score, now.
But I'm still having fun playing.

Oh, and the second button, to buy the powerup doesn't happen every time. So if you think it isn't happening, and it does, you're going to buy it. Possibly before you realize it's there.
Anyway, my high score just cleared 500k for the first time a few nights ago. Don't think I'll be getting to level 2 on 500k games any time soon, though.
