Gwobby Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I am the temporary champion!!! By the way, I've noticed the guy on the front cover art looks a bit like me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 That's temporary enough Gwobster 6,870 I was one darn block away from completing level 5 then a serious pile of rubble Really nice game, keyboard control folks (press escape for commands). Game doesn't display your score after your go for very long so catch it quickly! Have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaPa Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Is there any info about what being stable and what isn't? The blocks sometimes fall when I don't understand why, it should be stable in my opinion. Just to know what to avoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blocks sometimes fall when I don't understand why, it should be stable in my opinion. Just to know what to avoid. You can sometimes balance a block that is 3 pieces wide on top of a single block providing it is in the middle.If you struggle any more please just let me know and i am happy to help.

Gwobby Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 After a certain point (about 40,000) you go back to level 1 and the time resets, but you still keep your score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaPa Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) Damn.. I wondered what will happen if I go over 99,999 points but I did mistake and then the tower just kept falling like 3 times in a row so no time to finish 97,790 Edited November 10, 2009 by MaPa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the HSC sloopy May be someone (atariksi ) can produce the actual formula for 'illogic' I searched for the game's author Joe Calabrese and think I found him here very interesing career. I've tried to guess his work email address and make contact with him, but if someone is a paid member of Linkedin maybe they would be so kind as to drop him a mail with a link here to let him know his great game is being played all these years on?! trbb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
