The new version on the App store must have some improvements. I never played the earlier versions but have racked up scores over 500,000 on this one, cycling through all 100 levels several times. The difficulty level seems perfect. Rather than a feeling of frustration as others have commented, I find quite the reverse and really enjoy this game.
I like this little app.
True, it's simple but that's its virtue.
Uncluttered and uncomplicated yet reliable.
When I just get snowed under with projects, need a way to sort through the details in a logical order, and notes on my physical desktop become unwieldy - EtreTask is there.
Have used it to put a month's worth of work in order, and then complete it.

Using CB version 2.7 on a MBP, 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, age 19 months. Battery capacity had been slowly declining to 96%.
I check coconutBattery every evening prior to shut down to estimate how best to use the battery the following day, and have also been monitoring capacity at full charge over time, allowing to discharge when capacity starts to drift lower, and at half charge - same thing - watching for a decline or improvement in capacity.
When needed, allowing to discharge fully, set over night then recharge fully.
By also running the battery 20 - 40% during the day, and down to 4% a couple of times, capacity is now back up over 100% to 102% or 6650 mAh capacity against an original designed capacity of 6500 mAh.
Very cool.
Very useful for free software.
My apologies to the developer--software development does take work, but here's how I download online video using Safari's built in features.
1) click online video to begin playing
2) open Safari Activity window (under the window menu)
3) look for the largest file size, and you should see it progressively loading, for example 4 MB of 38 MB -- click on the item to highlight and then copy that item (command C)
4) go to the downloads window (under the window menu)and paste (command V)
That's it, you will see the video downloading. You can then close the primary window leaving just the download.
Mid 2009 MacBook Pro, updated through Software Update. No problems thus far. Using HP Photosmart C4680 printer, with 10.6.4 minor glitch: when converting TextEdit document to Plain Text, as I do often, then printing, the print preview and printed document would shrink down to a legible but tiny font size. My workaround was to copy the text to a new document in RTF format and then print to get correct print preview and printed page size. Now with 10.6.5, printing of plain text in TextEdit scales correctly.
Haven't had a decent mine game on my computer since the G3 "Beige" desktop running OS 8.6.
I need something to keep my mind from going batty when on hold on the telephone, so that helps.
I also use FreeCell, but nice to have a change of pace.
Not sure if you've designed the game this way or it's just chance, but so far haven't run into any "dead ends" or squares that require guessing, so that has been really nice.
For some unknown reason began seeing spinning beach ball when quitting various applications.
I liked the idea that Cocktail "Pilot" default was recommended for novice users. After running those settings, everything returned to normal and operated more quickly.
Have since added additional cache cleaning such as dynamic link and kernel.
Seems to work well overall in maintaining proper operation of the computer.
