Is it bad if I just turned my mouse upside down? It was pretty easy that way.

I just finished level five, and I'm already starting to get used to it. Pretty cool, though.

Pretty easy game. Nothing moves as far as I can tell. Or I can't figure out how to make anything move. But while nothing moves, my cursor operates normally.

Was kinda fun. Would be crazy-good if there was a timer.

addyct: Yes, that just means the challenge is now hitting the Next Level button.

I must have ran into the wall about 5 times before I realized I was controlling things. I guess we all need to be taken down a notch every now and again.

Interesting. Kind of reminds me of getting back from a narrowboat holiday. After a week of pulling the tiller left to go right, when you get back in the car you get an alarmingly strong urge to turn the steering wheel in the wrong direction...

Is it bad if I just turned my mouse upside down? It was pretty easy that way. It's even easier to right click and select "Play" in the Flash plugin until the level advances.

I didn't have any problems until Level 7 - there I couldn't get my trackball to move fast enough across the screen to pass the moving blocks without hitting the wall.

Level 18 is haaaard.

Level 1 is hard with a wheel mouse that doesn't work well.

By "wheel mouse" I mean one with a rolling sphere for movement ... I don't actually know what they're called.

Doing it the way the good lord intended, I realized how much my mouse here at work is true ass. Cute game, though. Simple idea, well done.

I can't even do 18 right side up!!

Oh, and speaking of reversed. I noticed that Opera 7.51 did a weird thing to this page. It reverses it about halfway down (screen capture).

Yay! I successfully completed the game! All those years in Photoshop have truly paid off! Now where's my money?

level 18 was pretty friggin killer. but i mean, after 10 or 12 it was less having to do with things being reversed and much more to do with getting a pixellated square down a passage that is only 3 pixels wider. it's just plain hard, but has nothing to do with the gimmick. and that makes me annoyed.

It's frustrating in the way games are supposed to be, but what I found most irritating was that if I lifted my hand to readjust it, that was enough motion to send the square into the wall. Level 14 and I quit. Fun game, though.

psychotic_venom: Works for me, opera 7.23 on linux. Probably some unicode decoding problem, as it contained some text in a scripts that should be displayed right-to-left.

Great game, with the parts I played anyway (up to level 10 - after losing that one around 25 times I decided to declare victory once I made it) having doubtlessly elegant simple coding. But yeah, if you don't have the optimum mouse setup (which I don't right now), you're punished exponentially.

i'm sorta amazed at how quickly we can adapt to doing it completely backwards...as long as you don't think about it. if i just watched the curser and thought where i wanted ti to go i would do 10 times better then if i actually tried to THINK about hwere it should go and what direction i therefore needed to press....very thoughtful for a flash game great link
