1010! Cheats: Tips & Tricks for a Super High Score

| |

I still remember the adrenaline and how my heart was racing when I was close to scoring, for the first time, 1010 points in the 1010! game for iPhone and iPad and my surprise when I saw that I could keep going forever. Or until I got stuck.

Either way, the idea is that in 1010 your main goal is to get the highest possible score and in order to get there, we’ve decided to come to your aid and share with you some 1010 cheats and tips for the perfect score.

As you probably know already, the game is extremely difficult and you will get stuck, eventually. What you must do, though, is to do your best that you get stuck after scoring as many points as possible. We’re here to hopefully help you achieve that so read on for our 1010 tips and cheats!

1. Prepare for the worst

Most of the times I get crushed because I have no place to put that horrible 3 by 3 square. Lesson learned, so at all times I am trying to have at least one spot empty in case I get the humongous piece. I don’t think you will ever get two in the same series, but you can get two in a row so ideally you will always have two spots for the three by three piece.

Also, the single 5 squares long piece can prove pretty difficult to fit in later on, so have it in mind as well.

I know that is impossible, eventually, to be prepared for these difficult pieces, but always have this in mind!

2. Make rows vertically or horizontally

It took me a while to realize that I don’t have to go for horizontal lines only, so if you didn’t get there, let me make things a lot easier for you: you can also create vertical lines! Great to know if you want to get the extra hand in beating your previous high score!

3. Pack your board

It might sound like the riskier approach, but I found that it’s easier if you pack your board with pieces and wait for the perfect one to remove a few rows rather than focusing on one row at a time.

If you adopt the latter strategy, you will eventually have so many empty spots on your board that you won’t have any place left for the big pieces.

4. Build from the margins to the center

We tend to usually let the margins empty, waiting for the perfect piece which will rarely come. This is why we recommned building the other way around: from the margins towards the center, as this gives you more options to create matches.

5. Keep playing

You might have all the strategy in the world, but if you don’t have a bit of luck, you won’t get too far. So don’t let yourself get discouraged by a poor game and keep on playing having our tips in mind: eventually, you will surely get a super high score to be proud of!

So these would be our tips and tricks for 1010. Do you have other strategies that could help fellow players? Let us know by commenting below!

  1. Why can’t I clear the advert quickly, after I have failed to complete the whole game? I have to turn off the game, go to another site, then return to the game, and often the advert for a different game is still there! Infuriating!

  3. I’m over 50000 and still going. I recently found packing along with willing to shift from building vertical to horizontal works well. So that’s what was discuss above. To this I’d add one more core strategy …

    Always take the opportunity to clear a line when you can vs the other strategies. Clearing always helps except be sure when you take the quick clear you don’t flip flop between horizontal and vertical.

    The other tip is stay away from the middle as much as possible and build those when you have no choice or get the pieces you need to clear.

  4. I’m at a high score of 25,099 lol. My tips for this game are:
    • Remember it’s 10×10 so try to have the red 5 block in its own row
    • Try not to block spaces off so you can only fit a purple 1 block, those don’t come up as much as a yellow 2 or orange 3
    • Clear more than 1 row at a time, it gives you more points
    • Try staying along the edges of the board, it’s easier to clear more that way and control space

  5. So today I filled board a few times to keep track on what happens when you remove more than 1 row at a time:
    remember each1 block = 1 point figure that in before placing …
    1=10 pts
    2 rows =30 pts
    3 rows = 60 pts
    4 rows = 100 pts
    My high score is only 5036 but I am tops in my family so far lol!

      Your score is the highest score I’ve heard of. Congratulations. My high is 140919. I’m shooting for 200,000
      It took me a while to realize that you can’t change the direction of a symbol at the bottom if you use it to save the game unless you have at least 1 more choice left.

      You can use the last choice to fill a row or column. But not to save

  7. Like most others, I’m totally addicted, but there are questions and suggestions I would like to make. Is there anyone I can contact who makes the rules for this game and monitors these comments we’re all making?

    For example:
    Question: Why do you sometimes get zero points when you clear a row or a column?

    Suggestions:
    1. It would be good to have levels, and to be able to progress once you’ve reached a certain score. I have just gone over 27,000 and lost the game, so now have to go back to zero, which is frustrating after such a long time, because it will take ages to reach that score again, let alone surpass it.

    2. Couldn’t we have bonus points for clearing the board completely during the game? Maybe the higher the score you’ve reached, the bigger the bonus.
