[http://www.vectorinternet.co.uk/games/kick-ups.html](http://www.vectorinternet.co.uk/games/kick-ups.html) Try it out. My best is 16, after about 10-15 minutes of trying. I admit I’m not very coordinated. 😃 –Tim ---

I got 166 after trying for a few minutes. If you get the ball up in the corner you can click it as often as you like. Not very much that way, though. ---

Got 68 after a couple of tries. I used to be a professional juggler though, so don’t feel too ashamed. 🙂 It would be cool if there were more than one ball in this game… ---

I got 16 on my second try, but I don’t think I’ll be playing this often, it’s hell on my wrist (Damn CTS). ---

I got six. Bloody annoying. Took me till I got a score of six to figure out the scoring, and then I was done. Mebbie I’m cranky today. ---

Sometimes it’s nice to have a massively slow, old computer. Playing this thing on a Pentium 1 @ 90 MHz is actually boring. The ball moves in slow motion even if you kick it really hard right at the top of its arc! -Ben ---
