It pays off in stage three! The game gets easier after that.
I reached stage 12 in endless mode, and I can't stop thinking about it! The gameplay is tight, and the mechanics are so satisfying. This has the potential to grow into something truly special.
Wonderful game! Had lots of fun trying to master it: seems impossible at first, but then you get the hang of it and everything clicks. A great inerpretation of the theme!
