Sugar, Sugar: Friday Flash Fun.
I love the game concept, but the sugar falls way too slowly, and the stream can get plugged up a little too easily. Once they get the kinks worked out, this is clearly going to be a top iPhone game, eventually...

Maybe true for earlier levels, but I think you'll find that you can barely keep up with that pace by the time you reach some of the later levels. At least, that was my experience.

Maybe I didn't get far enough! And don't consider my criticism of the game a reason not to play - it is still quite fun.

Fun game. Very much like the previously FPPed Lemmings Returns.

The early levels, as is usually the case with puzzle games of this sort, are incredibly easy and designed mostly to teach you about the game mechanics. It gets incredibly challenging later on, especially when you start to hit the levels that have say, only a single grain of a particular colour of sand. If you miss that grain, you've got to start the level over again.
Having played this before and knowing how addictive it can be, I must resist the urge to click the link until I leave work for the day.

Level 19, the screen wraps top to bottom, yes, but not side to side. What to do? Maybe back to what I should be doing, eh?

Maybe the soundtrack should have been this instead of Portishead.

Oh, crap, I got all the way past level 30. I needed an escape, and that was a good one.

To quote someone else about another addictive substance 'First it was fun, then it wasn't, then it was hell' But I've finished it now.
Level 19 cheat video
Interesting to see that as I did it in a totally different way

Bonte just released Sugar Sugar 2. Every bit as addictive as the first one (and the Xmas edition, linked above), but now with teleporters!
God I love these games.
