My best score is 2409, but I don’t usually do much better than 2100. That’s a pretty fun game, though. ---

489! I am now performing my patented “in your face” dance. Can anyone else get 489? I think not. ---

**2499**. A few steps closer each day. It looks like it gets impossible in about a hundred points. There’s practically no space on either side of the pillar… ---

1029 on the third try (the first two involved more embarrassment than I feel comfortable revealing here). My coworker thought I was having an epileptic mouse-clicking fit. I’ll break 2000 in a few minutes… ---

I remember playing this a few months back religiously. My top score was 2480. I can already feel the call of the game again seeing as how the score has been beaten. As far as the impossibilty of the later parts, You can probably go THROUGH the areas between the obstacle blocks and the wall, you just can’t tell. I’ve done it a bunch of times on various close calls earlier in the game. It doesn’t look like you can go through, but you can if you BELIEVE. ---

Well, I made it to 2559. But haven’t been back that high since. **SouprChckn** is totally right – I practice that in the early stages by cutting off the tops of the pillars as I go over them even when there is space. I’m still upset about it though. If there’s no ‘winning’ this game, I’ll be sad. ---
