Hi David,

   Although I am retired, I have completed one more game of Jezzball so that I could capture images of my personal techniques. Those images are attached. I thought about writing every step in detail but decided against it because that would have enabled anyone to conquer the game and it would no longer be any fun. I have decided instead to list a few important tips. Those tips, along with the pictures, will allow Jezzball enthusiasts to see the game in a different light. hopefully I will help Jezzball fans play a better game.

Gerald Smalley's Jezzball TIPS:

Jezz on!tip #1 ( most important in my opinion ) : You are a lot less likely to get killed if you keep one of the ends of the arrow thing outside of the play area.

Jezz on!tip #2 : You must practice capturing Jezzballs inside a single cell.
Jezz on!tip #3 : I use the Oklahoma method of capturing Jezzballs.
Jezz on!tip #4 : After level 25 let the game capture Jezzballs for you.
Jezz on!tip #5 : Patience is the key. Always wait until you are sure you will not be killed before clicking.
 

Jezz on!tip #6 : You must sacrifice lives to save lives.

Jezz on!tip #7 : Do 10-20 push-ups between levels. You will be a muscular Jezzball player by the time you reach level 49 and your arm will not fall asleep.
Jezz on!tip #8 : You cannot die closing one cell length. This becomes important later in the game.
Jezz on!tip #9 : If the width is one more cell than the height the Jezzballs will eventually end up in the panhandle.
Jezz on!tip #10 : Playing Jezzball is like playing cornerback. If you get burned on one level, you must forget it and concentrate on the next level.
Jezz on!tip #11 : After scoring eight or nine million there is really no point in going on....

Good Luck!

I have now played my last game. I have re-retired.

thank you for your support,

your Jezzball buddy,

P.S. Since I was playing another game anyway I went ahead and set another personal record before committing Jezzball Suicide.

Cool!
