22…man, getting three at once rocks! I did it twice on my last try…almost three times. ---

Uhm. I must be lacking many skills. I played twice and only got a high of 14. I think I’ll go wallow in some self-pity. ---

24 after 3 or so minutes of play. The randomized placement of the flies seems to be a bit off, a fair number of them are out of reach. (unless this is intentional) ---

Huh. Must be the settings of this work PC, but all I see if a bog fat frog, a fly for about .2 of a second, zoom-out, and another frog telling me I scored 6 (apparently without doing anything). “Play again” gives the same result over and over.
