This thread concerns the release of an optimization update, but is unclear as to which of the three swf files it applies to.

Dead links

These links at one point led to historical versions of the game (or pages containing them) which are currently not archived, and have since succumbed to link rot, and archive sites such as the Wayback Machine do not have sufficient backups of these files either. These are kept here strictly for documentation purposes - clicking them is not recommended.

Notes

  1. Timer does not count centiseconds, and boost blocks appear to be more reactive.
  2. There is no bug where the player can become stuck inside of color locks - it is not known if this issue was exclusive to custom levels.
  3. Level 1's message is considerably shortened, and lock physics are strange (they no longer melt away effortlessly when unlocked and can stop player movement, sometimes outright. There is no longer a loading screen for ads. Recovered from an old Windows XP computer: modify date 2011-11-28T15:45:58
