Hi. thanks for the bug report.
Bug 1) I thought I’d squashed that (excuse the pun). Evidently I hadn’t :( Oh well, will look at fixing that.
Bug 2) Spent so much time making sure that the timer went down at pretty much the same rate as the BBC version, I didn’t actually sit back and realise I had slowed the game down ! That’s my fault. The game can actually run twice as fast, but I felt that was just too fast to be just a simple laid back puzzle game. I can double the speed if you think that would improve it (personally I like the speed as is), but I`ll certainly change the speed decrease relative to the game play.
