I assure you 5th level can be done, but it's not good for mind sanity :D You have to use three &quot;1&quot; blocks in the stack (and the &quot;2&quot; block), and get rid of the &quot;0&quot; blocks as soon as possible. After that, you can throw the &quot;1&quot; blocks in the receivers from ground level by making them bounce on a 45&deg; trajectory. It's very hard, but I've come close to beat it a few times! :)"},{"author_name":"Lo-X","author_uid":"24781","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 4:05pm","epoch":1377532800,"text":"Hi\r<br\/>I didn't managed to pass some levels, but the game is really really nice with a good concept, humor and nice pixels graphics.

There only are 7 playable levels, no gfx options, no key rebinding, et cetera.\r\n\r\nStill, being my first Ludum Dare, it was a very interesting and learning experience and I'm glad (and surprised) I managed to create something (in my opinion) worth playing that could become a fun little game with additional polish.\r\n\r\nHope you enjoy my entry,\r\nVittorio Romeo\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\nLinux users: native build is available, built on Ubuntu 12.04.
