Makes me feel boss to see all those pieces go!\r\rI wonder, though--is there really any challenge to the game? For me, I had to clear out all the bottom row blocks because they wouldn't fall out on their own, but once I'd cleared out the bottom row, I was pretty much guaranteed to have a chain reaction that took out everything, so where is the challenge if it's just a matter of clicking the bottom blocks?\r\rAlso, personally I didn't care much for the look of the game at all. It's a kind of awkward mix of MS Paint-style cartoon and a semi-bevelled look for the interlocking blocks with a bunch of rather unpleasant colors put together. I think that shooting for a bold 2D look with just a handful of colors without the bevel and without the South Park-looking MS Paint kid would be more visually appealing.\r\rSo, as I said, the game was satisfying because of the combos, but I wonder if they aren't pretty much impossible to NOT get."},{"author_name":"De10ter","author_uid":"8352","time":"Apr 28, 2013 @ 11:18pm","epoch":1367190780,"text":"@Cybearg\rThe chalenge lies in NOT destroying the 'right' blocks :)\rLetting the little guy fall takes all your points.\rThat said, it's not a very challenging game."},{"author_name":"jerombd","author_uid":"12512","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 8:19pm","epoch":1367266440,"text":"I like the concept!\rMaybe add a countdown could spice up a little the gameplay."},{"author_name":"muton","author_uid":"20877","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 9:30am","epoch":1367313900,"text":"I like it, though it is a bit easy.. If it used a physics model and the pieces had mass (so there's balance\/toppling & leverage to take into account) it'd be trickier. It has a possible future. :)"},{"author_name":"chrismcr","author_uid":"7257","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 10:20am","epoch":1367316900,"text":"I love that the guy's head explodes when he falls.

That said it is quite easy if you just knock out all the blocks either side of a tower leading to the guy, then take out the floor blocks - maybe not the best way to the highest score per level though I guess, but since the aim is to complete as many levels as possible without failing, there's no real motivation to get the highest score per level."},{"author_name":"RealyUniqueName","author_uid":"20479","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 7:47am","epoch":1367480520,"text":"Great concept.

Maybe instead of 1 guy there are several scattered around.
