This is the world's greatest game. It can only be a matter of time before EA snaps it up. My entire gaming career has led up to me playing this game. It breaks paradigms, shakes up the status quo, and thinks outside the box. Er, in the box, actually.

Dodge.

Man, that's hard. I couldn't beat 10 seconds. I suck at these newfangled action games.

go straight down at the beginning, then maneuver to the upper left and hide out there for about 10 seconds

20.84

It gets faster at around 18-20s.

And I think there's a hard limit in my brain. I was getting better quickly, but I cannot beat 22s.

19.378 seconds was my best.

yep, I think 22 seconds is a threshold.
my best is 21.937

I can't explain it, I was even talking to my mother at the same time. I have gotten 24 something few times after that.

Blackhawk · Post by **Blackhawk** » Tue Dec 21, 2004 3:27 pm

20.828, and I'm spent.

RashG · Post by **RashG** » Tue Dec 21, 2004 4:16 pm

My final time is 26.562.
The trick is to remember the movements and safe spots.

edit:
Okay. Played couple more and got 27.484.
This game is addictive.

Two Sheds · Post by **Two Sheds** » Tue Dec 21, 2004 4:40 pm

Try as I might, I can't beat the 20.687 barrier.

Edit: 21 seconds even. Baby steps . . .

Post by **godhugh** » Tue Dec 21, 2004 4:43 pm

21.672 is my best so far.

Up to 24.073.

Last one was 26.391. I'm going to try for 28 here in a little bit. Eyes need to rest.

ChrisGwinn · Post by **ChrisGwinn** » Tue Dec 21, 2004 5:17 pm

You actually try to remember patterns and safe spots? I just try to dodge the little rectangles.

Dirt · Post by **Dirt** » Tue Dec 21, 2004 6:11 pm

Very addictive.

Two Sheds · Post by **Two Sheds** » Tue Dec 21, 2004 6:21 pm

Addictive indeed. It seems 21 is my ceiling, though.

moss_icon · Post by **moss_icon** » Tue Dec 21, 2004 6:31 pm

25.031

the annoying thing about this game is that as soon as you 'die' you think "i could easily have lasted another 5 seconds if only i hadn't gotten hit by that block". and then you try for another half hour to get that extra 5 seconds.

edit: 25.547. blah. felt like at least 2 minutes.

Pyperkub · Post by **Pyperkub** » Tue Dec 21, 2004 9:18 pm

25 and change - averaging 22-24 now but haven't got to 26 yet.

yeah the first 10 seconds are a gimme with the patterns

I've managed to get up to 35 seconds.

No, no, no. That is why fail, you do.

Try playing the game without moving at all.

Notice anything?

I think Meal is pulling our legs.

(I could always be wrong, though)

It's a very undoctored screenshot. I managed 1269.831s at one point. That's my record.

20 Minutes????

If I ever need a ship with a faulty hyperdrive piloted through an asteroid field, I'm calling a certain someone in Colorado.

Good God Neal, how many hours--no, DAYS of your life did you waste getting to that point?...While I was being much more 'productive' with HL2...

original:
function calctime() {var time = (endtime - starttime - 0)/1000; return time;}

Meal's:
function calctime() {var time = 1269.831; return time;}

Well, I tried my technique in a different web browser and found out that it doesn't work in IE. Works great in Opera, though.
