Bonus thing! There’s just too much cool Doctor Who stuff happening!

Get your virtual butt over to Google.co.uk today to see the doodle commemorating the big anniversary:

It’s also a game!

Highlight your favorite Doctor, and then you can play:

Collect all the letters spelling out Google. But keep away from the Dalek or you’ll get exterminated!

(See The Guardian for an article about Matthew Cruickshank, the artist and designer who created it.)

Just beat it. Lost the first doctor on level 1, the second doctor on level 4, Then burned through all the way through to 9 on the last level.

Practically “Curse of the Fatal Death” levels of regeneration.

I was feeling pretty good about myself getting the First all the way to the graveyard, but then I couldn’t figure out how the damn Weeping Angel works so it burned through seven Doctors until Eight just ran for it :(

That’s pretty much what happened to me. I kept trying to face the angel
but that didn’t seem to have any effect, so I just bolted

I’m stuck on level 2 and it’s so slow I don’t want to wait to keep trying. Can’t find instructions, so I came here knowing someone could help. Is there a principle that I’m missing, please?
