My mum’s home computer can’t support Flash ☹ I’ll try it on the school computers tomorrow. ---

I beat it, and I suck at games like this. I guess this one just works for me. ---

Did it! It took about six goes in between painting shelves and waiting for each layer to dry! ---

The trick is not to move the mouse. Hold your mouse still and let the ball come to you. ---

Took me less than ten minutes to beat. I second the “don’t move the mouse” suggestion. Especially on the level where the buttons are randomly appearing and disappearing. ---

Man, I nailed it last night, I’d had a few beers. Today, with nothing but coffee, I wasn’t nearly as good. I crapped out before the first checkpoint twice, and got reset to checkpoint 13 numerous times. I was pushing it. I could do it all the way thru last night really quick, the same pace today was disaster ---

ARGGGGGGGGGG! I can’t do it. ---

I tried again in the broad light of day and it took me about 15 minutes. Some of that strobing effect was a little bit much on the eyes though. ---

Two tries, and that was only because I had a java popup from another window interrupt the first attempt… ---

I beat\* it in about twenty seconds. - - By “beat”, I mean, “got bored with it and quit”. _:: shrug ::_ Not my kind of game, I guess. ---

Beat it on the first shot. The one where things skip around was the toughest. I just stuck my clicker on the lower right corner and waited for the blue ball to show up. ---

I finally did it about 5 minutes after I posted the first time. My eye/hand coordination sucks! ---

Beat it on the 2nd try. Just park your pointer in position and BAMMM when it shows up. ---

I got stuck at checkpoints 13 and 20 a couple times but it took me less than five minutes to beat. ---

Observe the pattern of each new screen, look at the optimal amount of blue you have to work with, postion the mouse, THEN click. Beat it on my second try (I count starting over from the third checkpoint “my second try”) because I didn’t follow my own advice on one screen. _Yawn._ I liked the music better’n the game.
