The number of bombs in the first 5 seconds seemed to vary a lot over 5 different plays.  For example, instead of rolling a die with one side being a bomb, shuffle deck of cards with one card being a bomb.  Then take out one of the non-bomb cards to increase difficulty.  Just an example.  \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also have you considered tuning up the responsiveness of the down arrow key?
