Hi!

Lately I've started to play trying to get as far as possible with nightmare forgetting the points for the moment.

How often do you get CRYSTAL-word if you try or don't try much?

Nevertheless, I try to make killing combos to get as many alphabets in the next level as possible to get CRYSTAL as many times as it's possible BUT...

Nowadays I usually end up to the 9x leves (+ 3-6 parallel dimensions) with nightmare, but until then I've got propably only two or three times the whole CRYSTAL-word.

It doesn't matter how many enemies I've killed in the latter level, because almost every time appearing letters might be the same ones I already have - even then, when I get

Why is this? It doesn't quite correlate to the appearing possibilities... :p Can it be continuous bad luck to get 2 or 3 times CRYSTAL during over 100 leves of game (parallel levels counted)?

Of course yo uhave less time for each level, so you get less letters. The rest is bad luck, I guess. NM mode is just like normal mode, only the speed is changed. Items, letters, ... all the same as always. Not getting past 3 CRISTALs is just more common in NM mode than in normal mode, as I said...

Good luck for the future, anyway!
And - if you reach the 90s, you are close enough to Tuber... you will beat him soon (as you know from normal mode) without caring for one CRISTAL more or less

Hmmm, yea I suppose you're right. Thanks anyway, and yes I will beat the Tuber, but I haven't had enough luck yet.

My NM record is by this far 95 and when I get past that point, the rest is easier... (or then not, because the 97.1 is not that easy on NM )

(maybe 98 is not much harder than 97.1? I don't know, you could try it out )

It's almost a suicide in a normal mode!

When you play long enough (especially when you have Hellish experience) it's not that hard, but NM gives you less time and you'd probably die at least once from the Fireball.
