It's awfully difficult to judge this stuff, but I feel like it moves slowly enough that most people can get a handle on it.\r\rHowever...\r\rIf you click on a freeze block, then click as fast as possible on things that aren't bombs, you will win the level the vast majority of the time. That seems to me like an exploit XD\r\rSolid start!"},{"author_name":"Brian Corr","author_uid":"15518","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 2:05am","epoch":1367287200,"text":"this is fun! I reached level 7. Seems like the strategy of 'spam clicks and try to hit freeze blocks' works very well.\r\rI think the fail state is not very well communicated. Is there a set number of blocks you can miss? I was expecting more of a puzzle, and not an infinite tower. Might be worth thinking about.\r\rAnyway good job ! :)"},{"author_name":"Bzaraticus","author_uid":"15242","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 2:10am","epoch":1367287500,"text":"Thanks for the comments. I'd love to know why it crashes for some people and not others, doesnt seem to depend on OS.
