Where it reaches levels of insanity that requires an immeasurable amount of genius, is where the game suddenly decides to make the blocks invisible! (Around 5:10) Now we have a gamer who not only has to have agile reflexes, but needs a burned imprint in their mind of what shape the tower of blocks is starting to make.
