What caught me off guard was the strange momentum of the pucks, maybe have their momentum the other way round, slow in the beginning and getting faster towards the end. This would have helped me personally in estimating when I needed to push the buttons."},{"author_name":"Gunn3rboi","author_uid":"35840","time":"Dec 18, 2015 @ 12:03pm","epoch":1450439880,"text":"Hi Phil, that feeling of them slowing down as they get closer is just an illusion due to the pucks getting larger, their speed stays constant from the second they are created.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>thanks for playing the game!"},{"author_name":"Aaranos","author_uid":"51253","time":"Dec 22, 2015 @ 7:20pm","epoch":1450811700,"text":"I would of liked to have two buttons mapped to the buttons.
