    You might be doing this already, but I set up a little corner pocket with the three blockers and use the remaining fourth blocker to force a mallet it to an edge and then push it along the edge to the previously created corner pocket. Using the edge of the screen really helped me here. Keep trying!

    I'm definitely more of a casual IOS gamer and I think this game is just a bit too frustrating for me, unfortunately. I do love the style and the polish (though I think the lack of a pause/retry button is a strange omission), and the idea of the game is great, but it gets difficult in a not-fun-for-me way, and I'm only in the thirty-something levels. This looks like a game more for hardcore gamers (people who love Super Meat Boy and games like that). I guess I got the impression that it would be more casual from the line "designed for ages 2 to 222" in the Appstore description, and also thought it would be more of a puzzle game, whereas I agree with Tannorexic that to me it feels more like an arcade game, though I understand game categories are fuzzy.

    Tap the left Circle just as it hits the frozen -50 circle - this will unfreeze it immediately which allows you to shrink it in time for the red circles to pass by nicely. You should be able to take it from here.

    Awesome game!

    Though I don't like the last couple of level (90+) were you simply cannot see everything and alike. That's not the best design choice as it can be quite frustrating IMO.

    Still, one of the few gems as of recent.

    Yeah that was a tough one. I managed it somehow by keeping all the bubbles at a relatively big size all the time (required two or more fingers :p) with the ones on the left side being larger than those on the right side. Still I needed a lot of tries for that one as well.

    I finally completed it a couple minutes ago. And now I understand all the questions concerning level 89. Each level is challenging but it always feels rewarding when you complete it.

    Thanks kamikaze28 and mr. bez! Finally got all but 97 and 100.

    For 89 I just did as Bez said and increased the left circle to 30 ish and the others to 15 ish and try to keep them there as long as possible.. eventually (and after many retries) it clicked to 100.

    Messages deciphered!

    All the messages have been deciphered with the help of Gordon1470 (message 4), otggamer (message 5 hints - he solved it and kindly nudged me in the right direction) and mayorcj (message 10).

    It has been very fun and challenging to solve these messages and I encourage anyone to go ahead and try to do it for themselves. I went over my previous post and gave gradual hints for each message for anyone who only wants a little help and not the entire solution.

    Edit: Oh my god I just found the sickest unlock you can imagine! This made 89 trivial to solve.

    Well??



    Also, I think it'd be awesome (and fairly easy) to implement a puzzle editor. Just drag and drop whatever flavor of circle you want into the play area and maybe have an option for whether things start out static or moving (and in what direction), and voila. You must pass your own levels before they are uploaded/shared/whatever. I think that'd be pretty sweet!

    Also also, will endless mode ever get it's own leaderboard? I made it to 1,029 and was pretty proud of that (though I'm sure others have gotten much further).

    Thanks a lot everyone for your hard work, really appreciated! I have 18 levels left to do including the dreaded 87 that is currently kicking my bottom...

    I've completely edited my previous post. Each message now has a few hints and the way to the secret power is broken down into little steps.

    wow wow wow wow wow

    i did NOT expect you guys to crack these that fast O_O

    i think there is one aspect of the secret power you have not yet discovered though :)

    ALSO: we've submitted an update and an expedited request that includes a bug fix to get the Endless mode high score leaderboard working!

    In my defense, I am in the middle of a cryptography lecture.
    I knew about Caesar Ciphers, Pigpen, Anagrams and how to crack substitution ciphers. Using an online Crypto-Tool (which is currently only available in german) brought me to the Vigenère cipher.
    So maybe I'm not the average case of user ;-)

    Just when I thought I was done with finding things in your game you tease me more?
    The secret power is to create a magnetic force that attracts any moving circle whenever you touch on free space. You can create multiple 'magnetic fields' when touching with multiple digits. So far I haven't found a place in the menus where toggling the secret power on/off changes anything or allows me to do something. I even checked the credits!

    For me this game has become too frustrating and I'm nowhere near where some of you are. Even 28 is super hard. I have made it to 40 (stuck there). I'm not sure if I'm having fun any more. Having to start over and over is getting old. Maybe I'll set it aside for a while and come back to it some other day.
