    After 2 games, my better score is 8634. The black dots give powerups.

    Ahhhh, this old chestnut! I came across it a good while back and enjoyed the simplicity.

    I agree the Daft Punk music really adds something to the feel of the game. B)

    Thanks for reminding me of this little treat, BA! :thumb:

    My one attempt before leaving for work gives me twenty-eight-hundred or so; will have more details when I get back (it'll be perfect for relaxing after work :D )

    After roughly a dozen tries my highest score is 7472 and my lowest is -679!

    Edit: I played one more time and got 8676 (on 5 squares). The mouse loses the square if you scroll too fast factor is a real pain. Oh and my square being so bloody microscopic that it is near invisible doesn't help matters.

    After 3 tries, I got 9015 on 14 squares. I agree with JSBB the square became invisible after some time, and I couldn't grow it back by hiting the black squares.

    Anyway, fun game after all.

    Edit: Tried another one, this time going for the squares, and got 7972 on 92 squares. I'll try and see if I can get 100.

    I had no idea how well I did in my third attempt, but after trying 20 times to get 100 squares, I know it better. Anyway, I finally did it, got exactly 100 squares and scored 10208.

    I got stop playing this game it's highly addictive.

    First time I got around to it, after hitting one black square, I thought "what were these red squares for again? Let's try." *broop*

    Ok, so second time around 7033 and 94 squares. I hit one red circle.

    10547 with 108 squares.

    I believe I pimp you all for number of squares. :p

    Whilst the longer u wait round without getting squares your points slowly build up but the value of squares dramatically increases the more you get so imo its better to go all out for squares.
