Best strategy (for me) seems to be to play it like tetris. Never ever use the up key and create a row at the bottom where everything collapses into it.

This sort of clicked towards, oooh I don't know about 1:30am this morning.

That sort of works, I've been using a similar strategy but switching what I call "bottom" whenever the moment suits.

The enemy gate is down.

YES!

I'll have to look into that way of playing.

Empirically, this got me much further than the corner (stair-stepped) approach.

Yes, I won twice yesterday with this strategy.
