Tips and Tricks:
Color Blindness:
In opposite to other Match-3 Games, where only 7 different Tokens are used, 99 Seconds
can use up to 28 different colored Tokens the Player has to differ. Color Blindness
can make a differentiation almost impossible when the perception of an affected Person
is a kind of Grey instead of Red or Green. 99 Seconds offers different Block-Sets.
These Block-Sets are in BMP Format and can be edited for the individual needs of the
Player, if none of the current Block-Sets should be appropriate. These Images can be
found in the Graphics Folder of 99 Seconds and are called Blocks1.bmp - Blocks9.bmp.
Abbreviation with the <ESC> Key:
To abort the current Game and go directly to the opening Menu, press <ESC> twice.
Challenge 99 Seconds only:
Especially in this Challenge the higher Gamespeeds can be very effective.
Challenge Step by Step:
In the endgame, when the "Give up?" dialog appears, it can be wise to finish the Game
even if one or more Extra Moves are left. There is always the risk, the Joker could
get the Hidden-Timer Bonus or a big Combo and gain leadership.
