[Here](http://www.jmtb02.com/flash/compulse.htm) is an addictive game where you place blocks that flow air towards your ball, guiding it ultimately to the circle with rings around it. I have made it to level 20 after about 2 hours, but can’t get past it. If you do, hint, please?

I managed to beat the game… but uh, I sorta cheated. I used about 18 blocks on the finale (Lv.25).  
And For 20 I used nearly about the same.  
I have screen shots though if you want to see my methods. But they’re just ridiculous.

Did you notice the ‘par’ and ‘pro’ recommendations, Rooshie? I’m stuck on 19 for now, but I’ve pro’d the first 18.

I did, but when I got to 20 I threw it all out the window. But yeah, the first 19 aren’t bad to Pro/par whatnot…

But trust me, 20 and 25- SCREW the Pro-rating thing.
