Then you’re going to fricking hate [Circle Chain](http://www.emanueleferonato.com/stuff/circle_chain/). Took about 15 minutes or so to finish. Level 11 is stupid-hard. I think 13 is supposed to be hard, but I lucked out and nailed it on the first shot. Enjoy! ---

Took me a couple minutes to figure it out - and then it was still not easy! Thanks, **Hal**! ---

The only ones that were hard were the ones where you had to get them all, or close to it. ---

Level 13 makes me want to kill someone. I’m thinking **Hal**. What did I ever do to you!?!?!? Grr! ---

[QUOTE=Diomedes] Level 13 makes me want to kill someone. I’m thinking **Hal**. What did I ever do to you!?!?!? Grr! [/QUOTE] It takes me twenty minutes to get through level 13, and two minutes to get through the remaining 7 levels? How disappointing. Sorry for the death threats, Hal ---

[QUOTE=shijinn] only reason i got through 11 is by zerging it. [/QUOTE] I looked up “zerging” on urban dictionary; don’t see how it applies in this case. I noticed that the circles wrap around, but the shrapnel only goes as far as the edge of the playing field. For the hit-the-purple-circle-but-not-the-dozen-blue-ones type levels, I waited until the target was in a corner so I had fewer fragments to worry about. Apart from that, I couldn’t really find a strategy. ---

Is there supposed to be some grand strategy? Just clicking randomly works just fine. ---

**Robot Arm**. yeah not quite the right word, i meant i just chose a loose strategy and kept clicking till i completed that stage. and yeah, clicking randomly works just fine. ---

[QUOTE=Quartz] Is there supposed to be some grand strategy? Just clicking randomly works just fine. [/QUOTE] Well, when I see a game that says “click somewhere”, I start looking for the best place to click. That’s just the way my brain is wired. Or if something is completely a matter of luck, like a slot machine, I like to know that, too. This isn’t luck, but there are too many objects, moving too slowly, to apply much skill to it, either.
