Ok, we've got a problem here. People with faster systems, are going to find it MUCH harder to stay alive longer due to the fact that the game will speed up considerably, whereas the people with slower machines will not have this speed up. For instance, I played this game on a PII 400 machine and it was SUPER easy to get to 51 seconds, where on my Athlon XP 1800+ machine it was a b!tch to get 30sec. Also, it appears that since the game is moving slower, you don't have to get as far in the sequence to get a high score since time is moving at the same constant rate, but the game is moving slower. Anyway, just a heads up.

I understand your concern but it is just a game.

I'm just giving an FYI, that is all. No life threatening news. ;)
