Seems pretty fun, but I wish there was an Invert Y option for us oldies who grew up in the era of "Pull back to look up". I always feel like I'm gonna nosedive the "normal" way. ^^;

I like the potential for skill growth and how fun it is.

the leader boards are not working

Sorry about that. As it is right now I need to  manually restart the leaderboard servers once a week to keep it working. I think I haven't done that in a long while...

It's quite fun when you realize how you have to keep hooked on the points. But it's too difficult from the start, maybe you could make it a little easier so people can get hooked to the game a little at the start. (no pun intended :P)

This is a lot of fun! ... until it is impossible. If you find some way guarantee a solution for each one, I could see myself playing this for quite a while. Good job!
