It looks like uVme have been updating the games again. One thing to change is the power meter functionality of the darts game. Whereas before it would always start at the top and move down, it now starts at a different position. This takes away the problem of someone using a click recorder to play back the perfect click.

After much free playing I have found a way to get a 4 dart finish (which to my disgust has already been found and posted about months ago! lol)

I used to think getting up to 5 and then doing a treble 6 to take you to 19 was the way but, noooo. There’s a 4 dart finish possible and given enough practice you’ll be scoring in the 60,000 mark in no time!

OK I admit, it wasn’t a ‘real’ game but it was great fun nonetheless (love that triple word!). uVme has now gone into soft launch so anyone can join as an associate which I did today. While I was waiting for the information to go through, I decided to put a tenner in my players account and see how I could do with some real money games.

Last time I played on the beta site I was quite good at the darts game so I thought I’d wager fiddyp on a game and got a really good score! I was almost nervous while I waited to see what the other player scored and… per-ching! it popped up a few thousand less! I got my fiddyp pack and half of their wager too. yey!

The uVme coders changed the playing format slightly since the beta testing, now instead of aiming, clicking to start the power meter and then clicking again to try and hit the middle (like a golf swing type of game), it is now aim, hold click to start power meter and release the button to throw the dart. The first couple of throws I did I didn’t realize that it was like this and by pure chance the amount of time it took my finger to linger on the button to click and release was just enough to hit the middle of the power button!
As long as you’re aiming in the treble and you hit the middle of the power button, you get the treble and can skip ahead a few numbers on the ’round the clock’ game. I thought I would try a free game (you don’t have to wager) and found quickly that it’s all in the rythm, I got a cracking score and managed to clear the board in only 15 throws and hit the bullseye first time of trying.

Sweet, now to try for 2 quid…

It seems the bigger the wager, the more pressure there is! I totally lost it half way through and ended up with a sub-par score and lost my wager It was bloody good fun though and for someone that doesn’t really play games, I had a great time.

I’ll have to keep an eye out for a Chinese player that’s already become (in)famous on the site, last week he was able to rack up over a thousand quid ($2000+) in wager winnings starting from just a small stake. That’s something that’ll develop more and more, just like going on Xbox Live for the first time - you realize that there some awfully good players out there! At least there’s the option to play for free so I can practice a bit more before wagering a whole two quid next time…

You can join for free and play some free games to see if it’s going to be worth the inevitable hype here
