I tried a round and didn't try very hard. Was able to get a 50k+ score... probably could have let it gone on forever as it was just counting up constantly after the game was over.

The "control +/-" thing is a bummer... probably because of the way facebook does things no doubt.

Thanks for the reply!

Yeah, facebook's canvas setup is a bit... constraining.

As for score and difficulty, I went for a very casual approach, as the audience I'm targeting isn't really the type that would have original tetris machines in their basements.

As for the counting up, it's just an animation that advances towards your current score.

Hey, someone already found the easter egg!

It wasn't just animation.. I was able to post a huge score to my wall without doing anything. It would have kept going if I let it.

Derek Thomas is ranked #1 in Falling Friends.

Really? Browser/OS? I'd like to try and replicate this.

Chrome/Windows 7

I haven't tried to replicate it since. When it freaked out the friend portrait on the score screen was "flickering" like it was stuck in some sort of loop. That's about all I remember when it happened.
