Are the levels randomly generated?  They get quite hard to look at around 30, and it seems like sometimes there are weird really easy ones that just pop up."},{"author_name":"shohs","author_uid":"20774","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 3:23am","epoch":1377487080,"text":"Pretty good game.  I am a bit confused how the level counter works.  It seemed to be randomly incrementing itself.  Other than that, this is a solid entry"},{"author_name":"kevinAlbs","author_uid":"26957","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 3:39am","epoch":1377488040,"text":"Cool idea.

Your insightful observation confirms I can improve that part of the program which I failed to solve during the weekend.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@pythong, That does feel out of order; you would expect to adjust the difficulty to introduce more complicated levels sooner.  \r<br\/>\r<br\/>@shohs, Good point!  You would expect the level counter to go up by one, or at least to be able to guess why the level counter is changing."},{"author_name":"iterative deepening","author_uid":"20862","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 2:28pm","epoch":1377699780,"text":"Nice, it's really fun game.
