The grid looks way easier to set up than it actually is...mostly due to combining stars by accident!

jsut keep trying. eventually you will get it and you can set it up without really even thinking about what you are doing.

If you use the "star stacking" method you can avoid accidential star clusters...

I bow down to your Hexic skills oldtaco and Stoffs.

I've gained all achievements apart from the Pooh-Bah, and figured I may never get it until I saw this thread.. I can see it will take a while to master, but it definately looks like the 'easiest' way to attempt it.

I have a life, thanks for your concern.

I try but there always seems to be one that ends up out of the column, and it screws me everytime

Be careful all the time and dont make move without thinking. When i am star-walking, or about to make a flower, i analyse the screen, will i make a combo which will cause a star-cluster, will i make a start which will fall down to the other stars and make a cluster? Thats what i do.

Funny you mention that...i just accidentally put 3 pearls together, ending my game...

*sigh* at least I got a new high score. 

Oh and I started with the grid, built half and then it fell apart. I couldn't rebuild it and was winging it for a while.  was working ok til I was a moron!

Yes, I'd really appreciate some help and guidance please.

How many stars should I be aiming to get in Level 1? I saw some of the videos and I've seen some people complete the grid within the first level with a couple of combos left.

I've also been attempting to do the 4 by 4 grid but it's going nowhere with me. I tried opening the video tutorial on the first post but it's said that the video wasn't a supported movie file.

Any pics to help would be much appreciated.

Well, there isnt really a standard of stars you should make in Level 1. I myself only make around 6-8 stars the first level. But IMHO, you should be aiming to make atleast 3 stars in the first level, since the first 3 levels are easiest for  making stars, while as the levels increase, it gets harder.

Man this system is really hard but I have to say that I'm getting better at it. I have some trouble not getting a starcombo but I'm defianitly(sp?) improving. Finsihed last game with a total of 27 stars and I had half a grid for a while. It ended with 5 start left though by a bomb. Thank you for the awesome guide! :P

Its good to hear that you are making some progress in your games! Just keep trying and you will be able to set up the whole grid and feel the awesome power it gives you!

Thanks for the help on this guys, by the sound of it I'm definitely going to have to try this grid system.  I really struggle when trying to create BPs as I constantly let the silver stars slip and they form a cluster!!  Very frustrating...

Cool, im glad we are able to help. It does take practice to get the hang of things. Good Luck.

i have to agree with most people here... before a couple of days ago, i couldn't seem to make any stars to save my life, but after going thru alot of the forums here, i'm now only missing two more achievements to have them all.

thanks to everyone for all the input and videos that have been provided!!

dont know why but i cant get filefront videos to work.

The word "ill" should be used in conversation more often

GH3-15th

Yea this works insanely good, give it a try.  It seems difficult but really all you need is to make that first starflower then ur good.

Tag.

Haha, yeah too much Gears for me thats why I'm working on Hexic.  But I can't even manage to make a black pearl :(

---

GTA IV - kthx.

I just got done watching one of oldtacos amazing combo's (the one where he makes i think 9 stars and a blk pearl cascading down the screen) and i was wondering, How did you get those two blue pieces to fall down at the top? It boggles my mind.

Wow, unbelievable.  I honestly thought Grand Pearl Poobah was going to be the only achievement i would never get.  I had just about given up when I read this.  2 games later (probably because I was drunk at 3 in the morning for the first) I got it.  Thank you SOOOO much!!  Great job man!
