Neat game! I played to level 10 or 12 before I started getting frustrated and switched to unlimited darts. Even then, some levels took a lot of tries to get right. But the physics were good for a flash game, and there were some creative balloons.

I had a couple problems with it, though. Considering how difficult some of the levels were, it would have been nice to have some assistance. Maybe a numerical readout of your angle or power. Either that, or make a keyboard shortcut that can reset the level, so you don't have to move the mouse and loose the angle you're perfecting. At the moment it's almost a total guess as to where you're throwing the dart. Also, some of the object detection is a little frustrating. You'll think that you clearly missed a particular type of block, but it still hits it.

That's all for gripes. Otherwise I enjoyed it.

I think that is stretching the definition of DPM a little

It is a term from another online "community" that furtive lured me into sometime last year. The D stands for double, the P stands for posting and I assume the M stands for moron. It (and its cousin DPW) gets used when someone posts a link that has already been posted.

In this case the definition was being stretched a little, as it was posted "at the other place" and then I cross posted it here.

Hope that clears it up

That was ... oddly ... evasive. But, yeah, that explains it.

Is it just me, or does level 38 have a bug? It seems pretty clear what I'm supposed to do. Shoot the lower PacMan, eat the balloons to the left, then eat the top PacMan and bomb and clean up the remaining balloons with it. It shows that I have two darts. But when I shoot the lower PacMan, avoiding the bomb, once I'm done gobbling, it says "try again" as if I've depleted all of my darts.

Works fine for me with two darts, although I'm running with the infinite darts mode...

Yeah, I finally got it about 5 minutes after I posted. Still, seems to be broken.
