Very slow game; it takes FOREVER for your guys to march to the far side, at which time they get slaughtered because you can't support them with the bow anymore. Boring, repetitive, no-brainer solution: hold down the fire key to kill incoming monsters, while building up your mana to staggering levels, and then send out an unstoppable horde. Two major things which would help this game: faster pace, and autofire. A decent example of faster pacing that comes to mind is Battle Gear. 2/5, because you spend most of the game doing absolutely nothing.

@yaykitties: how on earth does "not your fault you lost" mean "not randomized"? The very definition of random is "every now and then, the game just SCREWS you." Fortunately, every now and then, the game will also SCREW the computer, but you usually don't notice that as much.

Ah, I see! I was so wrapped up in the idea that I couldn't get the blocks past there that I entirely forgot that the teleporter-area is a useful buffer.

I'm stuck on A-17. It looks impossible; you must get the red blocks through the teleporter before the green blocks, but that 3-wide red block in the back cannot be pushed through the teleporter due to the 2-wide gray block and the 3-wide green block which are closer to the teleporter. Pointers, anyone?

Excellent game; complicated enough to hold enough depth and require just a little finesse, simple enough to pick up and play. 5/5. I love physics games.

And---here's the important bit---if you're losing consistently, then learn from your mistakes.

Yes, luck is a significant factor here, but you still make decisions based on what you think will work. So when you lose a game, don't scream "AAARGH IT'S LUCK BASED!", just try to win the next one. If you're good at this game, then you'll have a winning record. Don't look to win each individual game; just look to win more than you lose, and chalk up the occasional horrible luck screw to random chance. (And bless those times when you can't miss and your opponent can't hit!)
