I can't remember if somebody linked to it before... But I stumbled upon my own screenshot of a "high score" of 234K. I was so proud of it (level 9, woot!)









So here it is (was) Saturday morning; I was bored so though I'd try it again. Maybe I'd get farther. I remember it being addictive, challenging fun (especially as more colours are added to the mix).





And holy crap, worse than a Tetris maniac, I got "in the zone".



Double holy crap, eventually I discovered it is yet another game that doesn't expect you to pass "level 100"! (it's like a Y2K bug)





I was ready to quit at "Level 42" cuz I thought it would be cool to stop there







...But somehow after the screenshot I finished that level, and the next, and the next...









...82 levels * maybe a minute or 2 per level = ! oy vay where did the time go...







Level 100  









And "back" to level "10" -- nice number wrap :roll:









...Wow, 3 Million points in only "12" levels







It's amazing how the mind starts getting into "auto-pilot", where you're not even thinking consciously anymore, you're fixing mistakes before you even "know" you've made the mistake, the only limitation is your physical body, exhaustion, sore fingers, etc.  :shock:

I have played that one before.. The squeeky noise the charater makes drove me nuts.
