Jenga Solitaire "Fast Way"

ianke_2002 · 10-04-2010, 10:39 PM

Can someone please clarify what the guide is exactly saying when it mentions this "fast way"...i dont understand how to get this.....

artphobia · 10-15-2010, 04:09 AM

I'm interested in knowing also. Tried fiddling with what I thought was meant but no results.

Kinda delayed but i just started working on this DLC 2 days ago.

Managed to get the achieve the other night.
The trick is to end up with a negative score. The game doesn't display some crazy high score like it says.
I unlocked this achievement with -2 points.

I did the described method more or less of pulling the 3block from the bottom and making the tower twist. If you pull the block out you are going to get 10 points so even if the tower wobbles and falls you still finish with ~8 points.

You need to make the tower wobble (giving you a negative score) and fall before removing the first block.

duggler101 · 10-18-2010, 09:05 PM

I can get it to fall, but i never get the wobble bonus. just not quite sure what im doing wrong.

izret101 · 10-18-2010, 09:14 PM

I managed to get it by doing a lot of moving around. Once i got the tower twisted i kept dragging the block back and forth and further warping the tower shape. There were quite a few tries that ended up with no wobble penalty or almost worse the penalty and crash but i ended up pulling the block out so i ended with 8 points instead of the -2(minimum wobble deduction is 2 points) that your looking to get.

EDIT
lol i just realized the original question came from PhonySpoon.
I keep running into him...

Phrozan · 10-28-2010, 06:12 PM

Do I grab the 3rd block from the bottom right in front of potato head because I can't get the wobble bonus when I turn.

What do you need to do to get the wobble bonus? I am assuming make the tower wobble but I do and have done this multiple times with no wobble bonus.

mattshotcha · 11-02-2010, 09:40 PM

ok... i just had the goddamn tower wobbling all over the joint... literally rocking back and forth and no wobble penalty while at zero points... i call bullshit... it's looking like the game doesn't give a wobble penalty if you have no points yet... i did manage to get a wobble penalty immediately after removing the first block, every time... so it's looking like the game automatically doesn't penalize you if you have zero points... anyone confirm this or did this guy just say it???

edit: just had the tower wobbling so hard i could hear the blocks clacking back and forth... no negative points... i... call... bullshit...

you can also unlock this achievement by playing naked in your front yard...

edit 2: if you ride on a unicorn while playing, all the achievements will unlock...

mattshotcha · 11-02-2010, 10:25 PM

ok i got it... go play remix... never mind the guide... you get 100 points bonus for completing a row... and don't worry about the cards... every third or fourth game you end up not getting many of the difficult cards... i just broke 1000 three out of my last 9 games of remix...

also, i have not verified it but i bet you could make a custom game and make the card limit higher so the game lasts longer if that is an issue... but like i said, it's pretty easy to do on remix...

artphobia · 11-23-2010, 05:06 AM

Thanks for the tip on using REMIX or CUSTOM.
I can verify that you can get this achievement via CUSTOM:remix with 20 cards in the deck. Also when making rows, what happens is the point reward increases by +25 for each new row.

What I did was this, I grabbed one of the side blocks a few rows down from the top and wiggled the tower so that it was about to topple over. I got 10 points for the block, and lost 2 for the wobble. I then basically "threw" the piece down on the top of the stack by placing it on the far left and dropping it so it hits the edge of the tower and then fell off, ending the game -- the entire tower remained "intact" save for being completely twisted up. My score went down to "-002" when I did this. I will see if I can't get a video or something of this glitch later (tomorrow or Thanksgiving, etc).

Excellent, thanks!

Just seem to need the tower to be ready to wobble as soon as you remove the first piece, should pop-up immediately when you do, then raise the piece you removed before dropping it; it falls off, -02 score, achievement unlocked.

I misread the guide and was twisting from the bottom before, must've spun it 270 degrees trying to get the ach.

For those not able to see how it's done, here's a YouTube video that I found (and used to replicate):
