There is nothing more painful than being 20 blocks away and finally dropping a block... Except maybe dropping a block when there is only one left.

Pixels are far too small. If I have something lined up but it is just "1" tiny pixel off, it will hit and fall. Dev purposefully trying to frustrate users, 1/5

Ok, I decided to revisit this game and got the impossible badge in less than 2 hours. TO add on to what Real Awesum said, build as FLAT as possible. Avoid putting blocks in their side, especially I-pieces. Try to make your tower in such a way you can get by playing T blocks upside down or flat, Z & S on their wide basis etc. It helps balancing the tower. At the start, use I-pieces to widen the tower. THis is how mine ended up looking like:

Got the hard badge by doing the following: Spam green bricks in the middle until 80 bricks left. After that look for purple bricks only and spam them fast vertically on top of each other. After height 500 simple stack every brick vertically with down arrow key pressed.

for the hard badge just build a fluffy base with lots of empty spaces for the first 250 units and then stack tall pieces in a single tower for the rest. do it carefully. i get 500-650 height most of the time this way, with plenty >600

Lel, that moment when you forgot that you fell one brick from the top and you realize that you didn't get the badge because you got 98 brick on your screen.

Actually the Dubai badge is the hardest. The tower becomes more unstable the higher it gets. It's easier to build a solid 99 brick tower than a wobbly 600 high earthquake simulator.

So the game gives you 5 square blocks in a row when you have nowhere to put them, so you try to do the best you can...then 20 blocks later, that's what makes your tower fall. At this point, the game has gone beyond skill and into straight out luck.

I had about 10 blocks left to place, and then I heard blocks fall. From offscreen. I don't really NEED the impossible badge...

Really important note is that you don't have to play with just 5 columns. Using L blocks and T blocks, you can create at least 1-2 extra columns on either side. This means that you can create a much shorter tower with the 99. In turn, this means more leeway from a mistake.

The RNG god feels like it is mocking me sometimes. Oh you need a long l Piece to fill that gap? here have some more S and Z pieces. At least I got the impossible badge after god knows how long of coming back to this game every often over the past few months, but it really gets your heart pumping towards the end.

There are not enough swear words to convey that feeling of getting to 95 bricks and seeing a brick cascade as you place brick 96 T_T

This is the only game I've had trouble getting my badge in... But an awesome game. God, I hate this game with so much love... My tower split straight down the middle.

Ah, gotta love when Kong forces me to remember my greatest achievements by making the BOTD in a game I have an impossible badge in ^_^ (and a dang hard impossible badge it was)
