Heh, I like this.

Hey, I survived 25.05 seconds. I roxxors (or whatever it is the hip kids say). :P

it was tooo much for my video card... the graphics were toooooo awesome...

guess it's time to upgrade...

"You survived 0.34 seconds"

It's got the gameplay down too!

Heh, I've made it to 2 minutes by not moving the square. The way to do it is not click the mouse - then just sit there all day and Large yourself.

holy shiznatch

23.812 after only 52 tries...

keep dying around ~11.5 seconds, the speedup gets kind of tricky.

That is obscenely fun. Reminds me of Nanaka Crash (which is horrifyingly addictive.. -- I've gotten up to about 17,000m :S) because of its simplicity.

25s after 3 tries :)

17,000m?! Good grief. I thought 3889m was impressive!

Damn, that's a quick minute of fun. Thanks for the link!

This is a simple yet fun little game. Don't think I could play it for hours though, but it is definately fun for how simple it is.
Made it 18.61 seconds, on the 3rd try....Guess I am brilliant. :)

Frankly it reminds me a lot of the little Flash games I wrote last summer to learn/practice ActionScript:

Maybe I'll do this game too, for more practice. Not that I really care anymore about knowing ActionScript.

it's cool. You have to relax and see clearly.

19.656... Over 18 seconds... I'm happy now!!

29 secs

20.75 go 3.
It's a lot like that game someone made in the last 24 hour programming contest. That was neat.

this is totally what I would make if I learned flash :)
except my graphics wouldnt be as good of course

it needs some particle effects when you die.

If only we had shaders we could make this in Blitz3D. ;o)

27 seconds, first go!

Hmm, 0.261 seconds on second go, I am losing it.

I made it over 18 seconds. As the guildline says "I'm brilliant", go me :)

I hope there is a sequel.

21.78 seconds. The blocks move the same way each game -- you will make it to almost 12 seconds just going to and waiting in the upper left corner...

Hah! I can do this with my eyes closed.
I managed 4.014 seconds without looking at the screen once.
I had 5 seconds another time, but I had opened my eyes by accident so it didn't count.
:)

11.4 seconds with my eyes closed -- use the first three seconds to draw a mirrored 's' to the upper left corner, and wait there...

32.141 seconds here... 3rd try

and 53 on the 4th try....

the trick is to jiggle the mouse ...

12 sec. on the second .

maybe the red suare is a mouse and the blue's are cats ;)

There's a similiar game idea there made in blitz, has powerups and stuff :)

xlsior, yeah I figured out the same trick the a big square comes flying at you.
