Hexic Players..., anyone else got 3 black pearls? Options

[Malenko]

I *FINALLY* (and by I, I mean me n my girlfriend) got 3 black pearls together. Anyone else get this done yet? Also, has anyone in the world gotten 6 pearls in a star?

[twistedsymphony]

I had 6 pearls at one point but then lost from a bomb before I could assemble them into a star

I've built up 3 pearls a few times but I've never been able to get them into a cluster, the few times I've done it I seems to get a bomb and loose before I can join them together

[lostboyz]

i had 2 pearls next to each other and i was forming another right above it. i had 7 flowers, then one wrong turn and i got rid of 5 flowers, my fatal bomb came two moves later. quite a bummer

[Legendary Badass]

As soon as I got my black pearl cluster, I decided to set aside the game before it destroyed my mental state.

I managed to compile two black pearls before the Bomb of Death came.

I remember seeing some guy's gamercard with all the achievements for Hexic completed. This was more than a month ago, and I don't remember his/her name.

Edit: Here's a person I found that has all the achievements for Hexic:

I need major help with hexic.

getting the 3 black pearls is easy. here is the stratagy i personally use. don't make combo's if you don't have to.

look for bottoms of a flower on screen (3 pieces in position to make a flower, its MUCH easier to make it from the bottom up then the top down)

start early, i usually have 2 or 3 flowers by the end of the first level.

your focus should be making flowers, then once you have 8 flowers, make a pearl (i say 8 because after you make your pearl, you will still have 2 flowers to maniuplate the other pieces to make more flowers)

now that 6 pearl achievement, thats ones giving me a hell of a time, i'm sure i'll get it someday though

if you put 3 flower stars next to eachother (as though they were normal pieces) do they dissappear ?

[lostboyz]

yup

[DarkDeity]

yup

wow....... that sucks, uber points though?

[Malenko]

yeah, lots of points and the game ends. if I knew the game ended I would have made more combos and stuff before making the 3 pearls touch.

I got over 500,000 points and my rank is still 2200ish on the live rankings.

I dont do very well playing hexic...I've never gotten a black pearl, I get enough flowers to make one but assembling them to make a pearl is tough. I'll try this technique and see if i get any better.
