MadCrimson and zakemcfake: It is completely intentional that the pink creatures are harmful first and helpful later. This is part of the puzzle that you need to unlearn what you learned in the first part of the game.
We just implemented a feature that was requested by a lot of players: If you complete a world, the next world will be unlocked in the title screen, so you don't need to play through all levels again. Thanks again for your feedback, folks!
Thanks everyone for your feedback so far! We uploaded a new version today with some bugfixes. Please remember to tell us the Flash Player version you are using when reporting a bug.
@DexterDog: The rainbow symbol is borrowed from logos of game companies from the 80's like Activision or Infogrames and computers like the ZX Spectrum.
@littleski5: I developed Understanding Games on a Macbook using TextMate and the free Adobe Flex SDK. If you are interested in the details you can find more infos "here":http://www.pixelate.de/blog/setting-up-a-as3-project-in-textmate.
@Pustulio: You actually have some control over the ball depending on where you hit the ball on the paddle. I could have pointed that out in the episode, but it is already pretty long, and I rather would like to make it shorter and more compact instead of adding more information.
