Well, I'm up to Level 133 now and the time taken to get to the next level is at approx 35 minutes. The number of points required to complete each level seems to increase by about 1000 points...

It starts to get really boring now (if you weren't already bored!!), so here's a few hints and stuff to make it a little more interesting.

Some of these tips are obvious, but worth repeating here...

1. In Endless Mode, Hyper Cubes and Power Gems are your friends - try to make them wherever you get a chance. Hyper Cubes are easier to make vertically than horizontally, I've found.

2. Try to cluster Power Gems together as much as possible, then let them rip to get lots more points than individual detonations.

3. At some points in the game, you'll be desperate for a ***el sequence, this will take about 10-15 combos before the game picks up again. When it happens, look at the top of the screen to see the new combos offered up by the Endless Mode cheat system.

4. To make it more interesting, see how many Power Gems you can get on the screen at once. It sounds easy, but after 6 or so, you'll find it gets difficult NOT to detonate them! I've got 10...how many can you get?

5. How many Power Gems can be made consecutively? I've managed to do 4...again, how many can you do?

6. I've had 2 consecutive Hyper Cubes created and 3 within 4 moves.

7. You'll find that if you get Hyper Cubes made in fairly rapid succession, it should set up Power Gems more easily as well other Hyper Cubes. In some cases, you find that Power Gems are created without even planning them!

Hope these words help someone out.....

Here's some of my tips to keep yourself from being driven insane:

- Find something to do while you're grinding. Be***eled doesn't take a whole lot of brainpower and you can't lose so do something useful while you're working. I often play while talking to people on the phone. Sometimes I watch movies on the other TV (I kept my old one since light gun games don't work on LCD TVs). Podcasts are another option. I also listen to Japanese language CDs. You'll have spent over a full week of time on Be***eled by the time you get done with Endless mode so you might as well do something useful with that time.

- Rip some CDs, turn the Be***eled music off and then play your own tunes. The Be***eled background music will drive you nuts after a while.

- Make an entry in the 'endless mode progress' thread in this forum and keep it updated. It's good to see your hyper and power cube numbers slowly climb over time.

- Don't try to burn through it quickly. Take your time and do it slowly over many months when you need a break from faster-paced games.
