I've never received the ball rolling glitch either. And agree there needs to be a method of skipping instructions. I have half a dozen pages of notes while playing the game...will form that into a list of suggestions :P
In the meantime, a simple level tracker would be fantastic...with 89 levels, it would be nice to know which one you are on. :)
edit: played in chrome, firefox, IE, and Opera and never received the glitch. This is where having many people test is very helpful :D
When i return from vacations i will check those issues,please feel free to tell me what other changes would make this game better.Thanks!
