Think your web service will only have a few users? No need to worry about scalability, right?

Wrong. Suddenly, millions of users are flooding your service - much to the dismay of your server,
your power supply,
and, of course, yourself.

Let's see how long your service can last before it goes down.

Creative concept! nice execution! frantic but fun

Hi! Very cool game! I was super stressed - but in a good way :D I love it when games tell me to drink more coffee :) Props to you because this feels like quite a nice unique idea! 

Quick bug to submit: 
If you pick up subsequent letters you will cause the letter model to become stuck in hand. Additionally you no longer need to throw each letter out of the window as you only need to throw the last collected one (however, I feel like this might be as intended, i.e. you're throwing a full stack of letters rather than an individual letter?) 

Steps: 

  1. Start game
  2. Continue gameplay until letters start to arrive - wait until there are at least 2 letters 
  3. Collect the first letter - observe you are able to collect it as expected
  4. Collect the second letter - observe you have now collected both letters
  5. Throw held letter(s) out of the window
  6. Observe issue: letter model is now stuck in your hand

Extra notes: 

  • This issue does not prevent you from playing the game (it might be possibly a little exploitative as you can deal with all letters at once - however unsure if this is intended as I don't think I could do it without using this)
  • I really need a coffee after this one, thanks ! 

Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback!

The bug should be fixed now :D
