you guys do know there's a pause button, and that's a great time to take a screen shot and use photoshop :P to see what moves you can do next ;)

well, pause isn't really pause, the time keeps running! (major bug?)

Anyway, I try and use the white adobe logo to grab lots of points. I don't add my scores or even look at them, but I've managed to get to level 11 yesterday..

It's an addicting game, for sure!

Sadly not - mine works perfectly and I have wasted hours on it ;- )

I guess I should be thankful that the full game doesn't install.

the pause doesn't work for me.

I tried to pause it to do something for the kids (dang little critters insist on eating, and stuff), and when I came back my game was over. . . .

I hope you submit your scores though ?

It does say that the every score submitted get a chance of random selection for a prize - so the more you enter the more chances you've got . . heck enter enough times and you might be down to a 1 in a billion chance :- )

p.s. the prizes run for 6 weeks apparently . . by then I might even be on level 6 . .

So have any of you big scorers tried the 'Challenge your friends' link ?

oh and btw my pause button works just fine - but it does hide the grid while it's paused.

p.s. maybe the pause issue was fixed in the update ?

Once I figure out how to play, it might be fun. so far a score of 375 - one match - I don't know how it works.

Been there - struggled with that :- )

Look on the grid for any two matching squares and try to get a 3rd matching one in line with it by swapping it for a non-matching one . . so if you have a pattern like

X X Y X then you would want to swap the last X & Y like so X X X Y this get's you your points. But you can only swap one square at a time and not diagonally if that makes sense ?

Wow. Using Internet Explorer or Firefox to launch the download? If using one, maybe try the other? Did you also try downloading from the real AIR download site: //get.adobe.com/air/

I downloaded air from the adobe site. It's the game install that isn't working. I may try one of the other air apps to see if it's the air install that's faulty.

The same thing happened with another air app so I went digging around in the temp directory identified in the dump and found the install. I think the part that was failing was the move to the program files area and the creation of the desktop icon. Weird.

I'm on a PC but tried something similar. No help. Thanks for the link though.

201450 (339th - which sounds like my dpc position on a normal day). This is too addictive.

I've just checked and the competition runs until the end of January (well about the 27th) (I think) but that's ok - I will probably still be addicted to it then . .

WTG! I think I got up to 49th a couple of days ago with a 300K+ score, but that is about as high as I seem to get.

(PS -- Nick --THANK YOU for the Christmas presents. I can't wait to get a few minutes to play with them seriously!)

I got to 98k the other day - my highest ever . and only just missed breaking the 100k

I'm determined to do it before the comp is over . .
