is there any tips or cheats or how do u get so high?

The best tip was posted back in 2005 and appears on the message board under "helpful hint".  This is jbg884's clarification of her own hint: "When you have 2 or more barrels that can be placed on the number of the main barrel (i.e., the one at the bottom of the board), if you click then both really fast you can use them both instead of having to use one at a time. Which means you can clear the stage faster and earn more points. Just incase still unsure heres example. If you have a 9 on your bottom barrel and a 1 and an 8 in ur flying barrels you can click them both and score more points."
On page 3 of the same thread I added a note about clearing barrels on the far side of each of these "flying barrels".  If your computer is really slow, this tip is worth reading.  But since I dumped my old second-generation pentium for a superfast new computer, I can no longer clear more than jbg884's two flying barrels.  So if you are clearing a 1 and an 8 from a 9, be sure to end with the number from which you can build the longest chain.

Thanks for the tip on this game.
wish me luck

I did better on my old computer in this game and now that i have a new computer. Can't get that high of a score. Will try the tip and see if that will help. thanks for the tip
