572 seconds: yes :)

and several of those levels i just went round in circles for a lot of the time :S could easily get it down to under 500 secs on my second try i think.

Arrghh got all the way to level 50 and for some reason pressed the menu button.

I lose.

It's broken for me. Level 17, I start next to the blue block. I move into it, and I go straight through. POOP.

Also, I'm consistently getting <7seconds (usually around 2 or 3 seconds) per level just by looking at the level before I click the "Start" button each time :)

That's not a bug elD, you need to get your cube to enter the blue one at a certain direction.

Well, that wasn't explained to me! And therefore this game is rubbish! As a games developer, I know what I'm talking about and stuff!

But but but....it's a puzzle game. It wouldn't be a puzzle if it were all explained to you would it?

It does actually explain it if you read the instructions correctly.

"In this game, you must guide your player "block" (using the arrow keys) trough various levels: for each level you must reach the end block: and by reach, I mean you must stop on it, not just pass trough it"

Methinks trough is through :).

I did it in 2-300 seconds. Didn't get proof though, guess I'll have to redo it.

It was explained to me when I pressed the instructions button. :p

602 seconds nonetheless.

elD, its the same as you not getting cake if you're propelled straight past it, and don't get the chance to pick it up :p

But tis silly that you can see the level and work out the answer before clicking "start", i'd say thats the bigger problem from a game dev p.o.v, compared to the " i dont realise that i have to stop on the blue square" thing

Indeed Wol. I did that more as a proof that zee game is easy to cheat on! The "I didn't know I had to stop" is my own fault for not reading the instructions (man reading manual syndrome!), though that is a usabilty issue (which I've learnt all about! :D), but I do agree that showing the level before starting the timer is very bad. Even just blacking it out would stop that, so meh!

As for the cake, I aimed myself to make sure I flew at the cake :D

mmm sticky mess :p.

Would be funnier if the background they displayed was ever so slightly different to the actual level that appeared. so people who sit working it out will get screwed over. hehe.
