Like HildaCorners I love HL! I try and take a split second to consider where I need to start and finish my long chains of bulbs in order to get the super bulb working in the right direction. I think the automatic reaction is to start it from the top as that's where the eye is drawn to first (for me anyway) but quite often you can start somewhere else in the chain and make it give you your horizontal or vertical super bulb, depending on what you need.

The hard games do need a certain amount of luck, that is true, and I too just give up sometimes instead of using Flying Time as I can tell it's not going to work.

The other thing I have to make myself do (and this is going to make me sound very silly) is actually look at what I am supposed to be doing to win the game - sometimes I get half way through thinking I am just trying to clear the board, and then notice it's one of the games where you have to get a certain number of different colours (oops) ....
