I got to level 17 in a couple of days of casual play, or 2.2 hours according to Steam. The game doesn't have achievements or online leaderboards, and that leaves an empty feeling when so many level goals are about time limits or 'ball loss limits'. But the core gameplay is slick and fun. I recommend it at a dollar or maybe two. JoshB, that level becomes easier when you focus on securing a steady stream IN rather than the stream OUT in the bottom of the screen. It doesn't matter if that stream gets clogged up midway through, the important thing is to secure a steady input flow. Another tip would be to set the game to easy mode, as I did :-)… Expand

    Difficulty curve ramps up way too fast. Had me raging by fourth level - You need to keep a 'stream' flowing for 5 minutes, however Difficulty curve ramps up way too fast. Had me raging by fourth level - You need to keep a 'stream' flowing for 5 minutes, however the game continually generates circles too large to fit through the gaps in the stream, thus you must destroy them, and the game fails you for this. Ready to ask Valve to refund this game. Waste of time and money To top it off faulty alt-tab support had me restarting my computer when another program took focus.… Expand
