Sent this via email, but figured I should probably post here as well:
Me: It appears sometimes you can get into impossible situations that even skill can't get you out of, like your next hop is a tiny platform, completely occupied by spikes or three vanishing platforms all in a row, disappearing in unison, but not lined up in a row ( horizontally)
Erick's Response: The idea behind the game is that you'll never play the same game twice. Everything is random--from the background, to the platforms, items, levels, etc. Having said this, yes the game is a combination of skill and luck. We believe this will make the player keep coming back for another round.
I guess other players are getting very lucky with their placement, because every time I die to end a game, it's been in a no-win situation and I see some people on the leaderboard with scores 4x mine. To those high scorers, is it possible to jump up three vanishing platforms in a row w/o dying?
