lol

I don't think anyone was saying the default language should be anything other than English, but I'm glad you've come to your senses.

Kinda like translating N into Latin. Latin has no native speakers, meaning that even if somebody knows Latin, they invariably speak another language better. This makes a Latin translation totally superfluous.

Latin was said to be the language of the enlightened, in the same way Christianity was... and we know what happened to Latin. By the way, "Sic itur ad astra" means "thus you shall go to the stars". This is relevant since you translating N into Latin would be a lofty ambition indeed...

I only learnt the rule for Pig Latin the other day, but I can only understand through text, not speech... why don't you translate Pirate as well while you're at it... -.-

I was just thinking today how much more interesting the game would be if each of the objects reacted with each other. ie, landing on a bounceblock above a tile would force the bounceblock down but it wouldn't penetrate the tile.
I dislike this idea... sorry

I think it would be cool if a whole column was maps made by members of the community.

Like, if there was a contest (for a whole crap-ton of different topics) and whoever wins that round gets their map placed in, or if somebody really likes one of somebody elses maps they can nominate it and it could be voted on.

Idk, something like that. Anybody got a better idea?

Yea, and then leave the 90's for some seriously epic shiz. Then at the bottom of each level it should have the authors name next to the map name, so they can be worshiped forever.

Because column 80 was made by members of the community and the author's name is shown next to the map name as well. :P

Suggestion: It'd be good if you could set the time you have for a level when creating one. So you don't always have 90 seconds, but could set it, when mapping, to e.g. 100 or 10.

Nice one, but if they will make the feature "custom episode/column/level/bla bla" it is not necessary.

This has use outside of helping to create episodic content. It can also add or take away from the challenge of some maps, as well as add new aesthetic appeal without requiring gold.
