My son introduced me to this online Flash game - and I love it, because it’s a perfect antidote to so many others. [Music Catch](http://www.reflexive.com/index.php?PAGE=WebGamePlay&WGID=94) ---

I like it - a clever idea, and it seems well scripted. Only played it for a minute or two, though. Purple Power! ---

That’s gorgeous. And I love the positivity. “Splendid!” ---

Nice game, so much more peaceful and tranquil than most games. 1,437,936; in your face, **Aesiron**! ---

Ha! 2,063,306! I basically dove in and was as daring as possible near the end, reds be damned, to rack up those last points. ---

2.9m on my second try. Apparently, 99 is the max size of the cursor. Those purples really pump the score up if you’ve got a lot saved up. ---

Awesome game. Anyone know what that music that is? It’s very George Winston-ish. ---

From the bottom of the page: the song is called “Before Dawn” from Isaac Shepard’s “Swept Away” album. ---

It seemed nifty until it locked up my Firefox browser. [Auditorium](http://www.playauditorium.com/) is another music-based game that I was playing last week. ---

Wow - this game is great! I downloaded the game which lets you play your own MP3s too. I got 4.5m listening to “The kids don’t stand a chance” by Vampire Weekend 🙂 ---

> [@Illuminatiprimus](#): > > Wow - this game is great! I downloaded the game which lets you play your own MP3s too. Same here…my best so far is 2.5 million on Love Baby by the brilliant green. (Relative to song length…my best is 2.7 million on Lollipop Candy BAD Girl by Tommy heavenly[sup]6[/sup], but since that song is 10:31 long, that’s kind of pathetic.) ---

Different. I only played it to 5,000 points because it was boring. ---

6.75 million is my best on the downloaded version, and I could’ve done much better if I had been more careful about avoiding red shapes. But playing anything with blastbeats makes the game pretty easy.
