Got to 40.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Game starts very easy; gets very challenging.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Tips to players:  Keep clicking on blocks on the bottom row.  You'll eventually find a match on the top and having already clicked on the initial block will help you make the small window of time.  Also, watch out for those arrows!  Many blocks are very similar but the arrows are different."},{"author_name":"Fernando","author_uid":"9582","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 3:23am","epoch":1408936680,"text":"Made 54 (My head is spinning :D).

This is the bridge, which gives support to new things from another world. Look for similar things in different worlds - a difficult job. I decided to do to make this work in game. Two different flow are two of the world. The player searches for a common link between threads. The efforts of the player combines two of the world through search of the same things.
