As soon as I played the level to clear, rather than let balls fall through, I got it on my first try. :)

Now the coat-hanger, that’s going to be tricky, heh. But in a much fairer fashion. It’s on sale on impulse for $2 and change if anyone missed the steam sale and still is interersted.

The first picture looks very much like a bra.

Haha I made the same mistake.
Once you understand the goal: Keeping the tube free so shit can flow down the level becomes cake. :p

I did miss the sale since initially I thought the game will be crap. However the endorsement by my trusted RPS people did make me take the plunge for 3.99 EUR without trying the demo.

3:30 hours later (way past bed time last night) and in lvl 13

All I can say: Thank you for the recommendation! The game kicks ass and takes names! :)

Tired at work currently but happy thinking I can continue that game later today! :)

@MindFukr69:
You missed the sale. The 50% discount was available for nearly a full week, so it wasn’t even a terribly limited-time offer.

For what it’s worth, sales like these are the reason that I at least glance at the Steam storefront daily.

Steam, Europe, WTF?! etc.

Is/was the half-off deal only available in US and UK? Only price I’m seeing on Steam is 3.99 EUR, which seems like a rip-off after reading about $2.5…

@ZephyrSB: Dammit why didn’t they say it was the flow in you had to keep up. That completely changes the puzzle. I was trying to match only big ones (which are obviously a priority still) so that I had enough small ones to fall through. I’ll have to have another go no I know this.

Saw it in the new releases section on Steam, wasn’t terribly impressed by the trailer, and then decided to try the demo.

Very, very pleasantly surprised. Happily paid the $2.50. Good value for the ridiculously low price, and each level continues to impress me with the clever ways that it manages to twist the “match-3-or-more” formula, just as much as the last. Every level feels fresh, despite the basic concept being the same.

Love it. The somberness of the music is somewhat strange to me, though. Looks like I could easily replace the music (it’s plain OGG format) if I wanted to.

Great game, and highly reccomended.

Rendered utterly unplayable for me as I’m colour blind… With the game’s colour blind mode switched off I can’t distinguish between the yellow and green blobs, and with it switch on I can’t tell the cyan blobs apart from the lilac (?) blobs. Is it really this difficult to provide contrasting colours?

Can’t find an email address on their web site to tell them about it either. :-(

Weird — of the myriad online deals on offer this weekend, this is the only game I bought. I’m quite happy about it, and even happier about all that I fought the urge to purchase. In your face, Fallout 3!

@ZephyrSB Re: level 4

Nah, I got that. I just hate having to do anything against the ‘clock’ – especially in a game were the general ambience is more conducive of laid back play.

It took a whole episode of Eastenders, but level 17 is conquered. Hooray!
