The bug that was keeping players' progress from being saved has been fixed.
Our apologies to all those who completed levels between Friday morning and
Monday afternoon!

I believe there are only three levels -- mostly the one Matt mentions, the
other two to a lesser degree -- where you need timing in order to complete
them, all in the last building. Thanks for the comment, of course. Of
course, if you want to lower your number of moves, you can do all sorts of
crazy things with good timing.

You can solve that level by moving bricks one at a time around Junkbot, of
course, but if you want to do it in 20 (I think the record is 16) the trick
is to "pick up" big clumps of bricks, hold them in your hand while Junkbot
moves through them, then put them back down. Thus you can deliberately
create huge clumps that you pick up all at once, etc. I'm mentioning this
mostly because it was driving me crazy forever too.

Thank you! I have no idea at this point if we will be doing more levels, or
a downloadable version, but your comments are very nice to have. Question
along these lines - if there was a level editor, would you (or your kids, if
applicable) be inclined to make your own levels for others to play?
I should also give credit to the team that made the game, Gamelab
(www.gmlb.com), who have made several other fun online games like LOOP,
BLiX, and Sissyfight 2000.
