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.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!! i could feel my blood rushing,adrenaline pumping when it was last 10 blocks and it just become nightmare... So coincidentally last 10th block wasn't suitable for any place,so i just hold down and one of the block was pretty close to the 'hell' Funny thing is i got impossible badge before hard...Btw Real AwEsUm's tip is quite good. I studied tassel's walkthrough too. Good luk on Impossible badge. I had tried this for few times from years to years cus i gotta feeling this badge can be earn due my passion for tetris :)

I play seriously and i get a height of 400 (tower gets destroyed) and then rage... i just push down and let the blocks fall on top of each other, i look at the height and it's 500 WTF?? ¬¬

If I wasn't so tenacious about wanting badges, I'd have quit this game a long while ago. I want to love this game, I really do. The concept is brilliant, and it keeps MAKING me want to come back, despite the flaws... but the flaws are just getting harder to overlook. I understand the principle of interlocking, and I add the extra width by hanging over the edge at the beginning, but even THEN... on the FIRST BRICKS you can sometimes see that the brick decides, for some unknown reason, to sliiiightly tilt to the left or right when placed. If I stick another block on top it'll adjust back to where it should.... but for pete's sake -- why is my tower already tilting when I only have ONE block? That's not my incompetence (which I already have enough of, thanks)... that's just wonky physics.

the actual center of gravity on each individual piece says it should stay where I put it, the gravity of the game... disagrees.

Idea: Maybe I get the impossible badge if I just keep dropping the blocks on the center part as quickly as possible... *five minutes later* Idea: Maybe I get the impossipble badge if I carefully place the blocks in a logical manner... *fifty minutes later* Idea: Maybe I get the impossible badge if I just break every block before they go down... *five hundred minutes later* Idea: I think I should get some sleep now and continue later...

when I saw a game under the category "Puzzle" With the tag "physics based", and it has an impossible badge I should have seen trouble coming :(

right, I have 10 blocks left to go, steady tower slightly wobbly I'm fine, 5 blocks to go doing great, 2 blocks to go....*little sister* "TIME FOR DINNER!!!", jumps, hits left and watches brick fall into oblivion..... my laptop needs a bit of maintenance now.

I was getting nowhere fast with this, put down 33 blocks, got well over 250 but still getting no badges. Then I realized I was using Chrome, the bane of gamers everywhere. Switched to Internet Explorer and got both badges (and BOTD) at first time of trying. So if you can't get the badge with Chrome, you know what to do!

When going for the impossible badge, and one block was just a pixel out of place and it knocks the piece you just placed off the side. (59 left, 1st try)

The game gives you completely random blocks every game, so you just have to hope that you get the right ones so that you can build a strong foundation. If the game doesnt give you the right blocks, you will have to keep restarting over and over to get the last 2 badges. The random element of luck that the player has no control over, makes the game unfair and frustrating.

This game is an absolute horror.
brick drops gently into place: Bottom starts shaking as if there's been a cataclysmic seismic event.

Why is it the one shape I want to fall down never comes, until after I've had to use a different shape to fill the gap I left.

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:

This game is named wrong. Instead of "99 Bricks," it should be called "Just When You're Starting to Do Well, Everything Turns Into Shit."
