THE SCREEN

It used map 2 of the 3 that RAPID ROLL has. It was played at level 5, with the same seed for everyone: the same enemies and the same pieces in the same order.

THE MUSIC

Danza napolitana de El lago de los cisnes, P. I. Chaikovski, 1876.

One of the national dances in the third act of Swan Lake, with a cornet solo.

It is in the public domain, transcribed to chiptune with square and triangle waves, the way it would sound on an Atari 2600.

ABOUT TODAY'S GAME

The ball falls and the platforms rise from below. They are short loose ledges, not whole floors: there is no jump, you just move left and right to drop from one ledge to the next before the one holding you carries you into the ceiling.

Three things cost a life: the ceiling, which is lined with spikes; the red ledges, which carry spikes too; and falling out the bottom without landing on anything. Now and then a heart sits on a ledge, worth an extra life (up to five). Rise speed grows with the day's level and every twelve seconds of play.

· Don't wait on a ledge until the last moment: the higher you drop from, the more rows you have below to choose where to land.
