They actually nerfed the fireworks during the beta because some guy calculated the perfect placement that will chain them off to make the biggest combo and exceed the cost of the fireworks themselves.
But of course the fireworks were the only items that everyone have tried extensively, hence the other items won't be as balanced.
But if you keep writing in the stall over and over you chip through to the next cubicle and catch a glimpse of Molyneux having a shit.
You've got thousands of people messing with one giant cube, but they can't really communicate with eachother. That's pretty much the deal-breaking issue for me -- even though the app tells me that currently 900 people are working on the cube, I still feel alone. An "experiment" like this sorely needs real time updates. I've got to see everyone's tapping in real time if it's supposed to be interesting for me to play -- though I'm aware that this is technically pretty much impossible.
Also, the idea to waste many hours on it, just to discover that whoever is the lucky one who unlocks the last cube won't share the secret, is like a huge middle finger to the people who invest their time or even spend money on it. Just imagine you are tapping around for 10 hours and then someone who just started the game and messed around with it for 5 minutes gets the reward. Ugh.

Keeping the multiplier going is quick tricky, but it might be my freezing fingers this morning on a cold English morning Clearing an entire screen is cool though.

You can visit your friends and go to where they are clearing/last cleared. That's the closest it does to what you would like (so far).

Coming soon (I believe), its all soft currency based so far.

"Guys, i know what was found in the cube this time sucked... but.. in the NEXT cube you will find something mindblowing in there i promise!"
When the screen you are on is fully uncovered, an arrow appears pointing you to where there are blocks left to destroy. It's not always the closest ones, but it does appear at least.

Do we have any idea when it comes up for Android?
I thought it was suppsed to come to both at the same time...but apparently not.
The iron pickaxe seems like a decent investment, but it's a bit of a gamble. I made 350,000 in the five minutes it gives you. But it depends on your luck in chaning together combos. I think I made three 70,000 coin combos and then some change. I imagine if you get unlucky you'll lose all of it.
It's the score of your highest chain.

It's free because not many people would pay for it.
It's better to give it away, get a large number of users and then pitch venture capitalists to invest in future projects.
"Hey! Want to invest in us? We have 3,500,000 free users!"
This is much more compelling than:
"Hey! Want to invest in us? We have 450 paid users!"
If handled correctly this first free app could completely bankroll their all their future projects.
It's a loss leader for 22 Cans, nothing more, nothing less. Give a way a little to gain a lot (from elsewhere).
The centre of this cube will be a link to the Android version so we can do the whole thing all over again.
It's up for Android, but apparently not compatible with my Galaxy Nexus, Tablet S or Nexus One.

I made a single 1 cube line from one side of the cube to another, it took over and hour and I could not rotate the cube to continue it. It's grinding without any level ups and there's only so many green dicks that can be drawn for entertainment.
If was fun putting footprints in fresh snow but then that's it.

They don't have any user, i didn't registered and the max you can do is logging using fb
Not with my phone either. Welp.
Not compatible with Galaxy S3, Nexus 7 or Pivos XIOS. What a fuckup.
Or the Nexus S. The fuck

Not compatible with S2 either.
"potential customers" who may be interested in their next project I guess,
They may introduce IAP, or did I just imagine that?
Android version allows IAP :

Not that anyone can actually install it by the sound of things though.
