Hi Charles, I personally don't see your logic, because i can understand colours almost perfectly (considering i've never seen and relative to that). Besides, the game is that difficult for anyone who isn't a U.S. citizen or who doesn't know the coins well enough. coloured blocks or something similar or even different that isn't coins would be a great asset to the game, giving it a higher fanbase in theory.

Adding the left or right shift to the arrow keys tells you the coin to your left or right respectively. Down arrowing tells you what is down the stack. The object is to find 3 coins vertically or horizontally and exploding them by dropping the coin you are given onto the correct stack. You shorten the stacks, which start with 20 coins in each, with the chain reaction of exploding coins. If a bomb is on a stack, and you have the correct coin that matches it, all coins of that denomination in the stack will explode. If you are on the bomb and it explodes, you lose 10 seconds off the clock. It's a fast action puzzle game. As for being coins rather than colored blocks, I prefer the coins, because color means very little to me, because I've never seen them. I would have a problem remembering green, red, blue, brown, or whatever. As it is now, the higher the value of the coin, the higher your score, which makes more sense to me.
