I play Jenga mode regularly, especially since it is now so easy to die in the regular ABT world. You need fewer coins out there now, but it seems a bit harder to earn them…

Anyway, I have maximized my play by adopting a few strategies:

* If the first run is Grimlock, I abort the entire run. Optimus is so pathetic and incapable of aiming quickly, that it just isnt worth the time.
* If the first run is Starscream, I do nothing. I let him die as soon as possible. That way everything is nicely stacked for Soundwave. If Starscream actually runs the course, I *always* get a lower coin total than if he dies at the outset.
* If I see that the Jenga setup is Config #2 (no energon cubes), I am likely to bail and abort the run. There are too few coins there to waste the time. It is more productive to try another run.

My ultimate goal is to maximize Grimlock or Soundwave in the second run, as they produce more coins. I am sure there is an optimum strategy for how Grimlock should fire at the cubes so as to not knock them into the water, but I haven’t figured that strategy out yet.

I have found a bug, though. If I abort 3+ runs in a row, ABT is increasingly likely to crash. Sometimes not, but more often that not it will crash (iPad version).
