Big Loser Uncle Dave
many months ago, when kyle and i were testing out the new leaderboard feature, we added a “cheat” entry called Big Winner Uncle Dave (though that wasn’t always his name). we forgot to remove him when we made the leaderboard public, and at some point he became more of a legend than a mistake to be corrected, so we left him there.
anyway, i don’t know when exactly this happened, but we just became aware that a Netherlander named Marius actually beat Big Winner Uncle Dave’s record! check out Marius’ masterful building technique and tremble with awe…

Congratulations Marius, and yay for the Netherlands!
Meanwhile I noticed that the more goo balls I got access to, the worse I got at building towers :(

Haha, “Netherlander”, I never heard that one before (I always say “Dutch guy”, “Dutchie” or whatever), but it appears to be correct :P

Yay for the Netherlands indeed! Great job Marius, keep on building!

Heh, sweet, I’m in a blog post :)
Netherlander is correct English? Never knew :P
So yeah, being on top of the goo corp and 2 other levels (used to be three, nice one Tair ;) ), and shared first place in all other levels, there’s no challenges left until the full game is released. Thus, I’ll share my strategy for the regular levels if people are interested.
