gdement Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) I find this game quite frustrating. Somehow I did better this time vs what's normal for me. I usually die on level 3 or 4. The tip about pushing a button to go faster certainly helped. Barely got to the last level, but accomplished nothing in the last one. I just kept falling off that first platform until my time ran out. 41,240 ... unbelievable - I just noticed I'm behind roloking by 40 points.
