Hacolife (DSiWare)

God, this is surprisingly hard!

Does anyone have any techniques for the puzzle mode? I've done about ten levels but the new shapes are getting harder and harder to remember because they're slightly more random, and I'm getting less than 70 points in levels now. All I can do is cut shapes at random and hope, but there must be more to it than that...

I've only got 100% on the first half of Trial mode. I only scraped 50% on level 14.
There are only so many combinations BUT remember their reflections and alternative orientations. It gets easier with time but not that easy.

My cumulative score on Factory mode stands at 94'941'520 with my all-time high of 1'728'800 - without even having levels 7 and 8 unlocked.

Bought this last night. Happened to see some screenshots in a DSiWare recommendations thread elsewhere and was immediately intrigued. What a terrific little game. Love the music, the visuals are perfect and it plays very very well. My only complaint is that the controls aren't quite as precise as they could be, but I'm willing to be forgiving as I really am enjoying this.

I bought Pictobits as my first DSiWare game when I got my 3DS (didn't own a DSi before) and that was slightly disappointing. The visuals and the music were obviously great but the core gameplay i didn't think was fun. This is way more fun and I'm surprised it hasn't been given quite as many plaudits as a great DSiWare game.

Well, how often do I rave about a game? I still play it on occasion and it's almost 3 years gone since I bought it. Perfect little game.

kryss, what kind of scores are you able to get on factory level 1 for example? The factory mode is a genius way of extending this game's length with the tiny RPG-em-up lifestyle box of your avatar. What's the last tier for the last item? Does he get promoted and start making cup ramen plastic cups or something?

I can't remember off-hand what my scores and unlocked items are so I'll edit them in when I get home from work.

edit::

my highest score is on Factory 6, with 2'101'040. Factory 1 I only have 707'040, mainly as I went onto the next levels as soon as I could.
I have 8 million to go for the next unlock at 150m.
