There's a bunch of different "waves" to see but depends on randomness and screen size too.\r\rThrere's just not enough time to do everything :-) also need a fast setup so it's not too slow.

Can help keep physics calculations consistent even in the face of low performance."},{"author_name":"Macroz","author_uid":"10556","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 6:02pm","epoch":1367258220,"text":"Thanks for the suggestions. I agree it would work better if there were more fast paced stages in the gameplay and I intend to do just that. It is using a fixed update loop already. I'm not sure why the max velocity of the objects is so limited even though there should be no limit in place. I have to look at it later. Might be a bug in the physics engine that I'm using or me using it wrong.\r\rAlso I need to profile it in again. Earlier when I did it in Chrome I noticed that it was idling for 30% of time still so not sure what the problem is."},{"author_name":"Masadow","author_uid":"22572","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 9:09pm","epoch":1367269440,"text":"I love the physics.
