I feel like a crazy person, but when i play this game for a while, screen text appears smaller. Like it's messing with my eyes or something. Does anyone else feel this happening?

Why isn't this working for me? Screenshot: http://imgur.com/9QzI3Z2

what's the blue thing around the screen? am DEFINITELY sure it's not hardware because it's working on my SUPER FAST laptop (1.1 Dual Core, intel HD, Firefox 27.0.1) so am sure YOU did something

the blue thing.... windows XP (it's my work PC, don't ask)

Oh and browser is FireFox 27.0.1

I suppose i'll have to just check this at home to figure out what the fuss is all about

Are there any cheat codes?

Right click -> Inspect element (in FF / Chrome)? All sorts of ways to "cheat" there, but not sure what that would accomplish.

nothing it was just a joke...

Yes! At the very least put up a BTC or Dogecoin address we can send donations to!

Or maybe go buy Threes which this is a descendant of? http://asherv.com/threes/ Nice clone but it's definitely a clone and so should be treated as such.

I have Threes and they way way over-designed it. Also it's rubbery interface is really quite annoying. This one however is a perfection - simpler idea, pure gameplay, subtle animations and UI mechanics. It really beats Threes hands down even if it's a "clone".

It's much better than Threes because there's not a single reason why Threes should take almost 1 min to start on iPhone 4S.

Stealing all your contacts takes time, you know?...

In-app anayltics initialization is a bitch too. So many motherships to talk too, so little time.

Good idea with the letters, but perhaps not necessary. People are happy with simple numbers. Just look at Sudoku which doesn't use A to I.

I'm certain letters are necessary for a 5x5 or 6x6 board. M is better than 16,384, and Z far better than 67,108,864.

Why? Instead of A, B, C, you can go with 1, 2, 3. Ie use the binary logarithm of the numbers.
