It's very hard to anticipate what the next shape will be sometimes because the falling patterns are so similar it doesn't because obvious whether you'll hit a square or triangle for instance until it's much closer, at which point you have no time to change your mind. I enjoyed it though :)"},{"author_name":"APantaloni","author_uid":"92148","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 12:28pm","epoch":1461154980,"text":"It is very challenging indeed!
