Some games are worth playing even if the prize ladder's bad because there's a chance of a cash prize on the cards game e.g. Hangman comes to mind.

I still haven't seen or achieved anything above 207.01 and 206.xx seems the realistic maximum so those bonus offers of above that are probably taking the proverbial, unless there is some little trick that none of us have yet discovered to boost the length of your shots. They would of course have had to draw in the background for shots above this sort of length and maybe that would have taken them over their development budget!
I got 207.07 on this the other day- a new PB having previously only hit 207.01s.

Is this a record?

Probably, although there may have been one or two shots that are marginally higher. The theoretical maximum must be somewhere in the low 207s, particularly as it looks like they haven't drawn in any background for after that!

I played two of these at the end of last week which hadnt been (previously) completely ruined and it reminded me what an enjoyable game it was prior to them all being so compeletely spoiled that you had no chance of even recycling your £1.

Whilst clearly some of my enjoyment was down to being able to net £10 or so in mutliple concecutive wins, there surely could be some middle ground or are actually all games like this but with CC the format of the game/prize ladder makes it completely transparent as to when its hit invisible mode.

Blimey, I find a game in invincible mode hard enough but an invisible one must be something else entirely...

Invincible mode would normally be good on a machine I think I must have meant impossible. :?
