Also, there's another area in the game that might be considered a cheat. When you die, you have two buttons: a "game over" button and a "revive for diamonds" button. Is it cheating to end the game, because you don't want to use up your diamonds, then go back and pick "endless" again? I guess we'll find out what the popular consensus is if the game is updated. It's kind of like the Kobiyashi Moru phenomenon in Star Trek: if you don't like the test, make up new rules or take advantage of loopholes. It's something you don't get to do often in real life. :) Of course, you don't want to ruin the fun every time, but the psychology of Easter eggs is there for a reason.
