Wow! are you all eating sometin' special for breakkie over there?  

Nice scores everyone.

p.s.   it's o.k. to share clues with friends.  yes






Two clues:


1. Disable "Enhance Pointer Presision" in Windows. This greatly improved my game, as I had much more control over the mouse Smiley

How you do it: Start menu - Control Panel - Mouse - Pointer Options - Deselect "Enhance Pointer Presision".


2. The games instructions state: "Click and hold the mouse on the ball. Pull the mouse back, then fling the mouse forward and release the button".

What I found easier was just to click and hold the mouse on the ball, and just fling it forward, without pulling it back first. (see attached video (not 56k friendly if anyone is still on 56k here Smiley)).

26.4 kps....the game must take a few minutes to load. No one offers satellite broadband in your area?

Nice score Elf. 
Looks like I will be at the bottom of the Totem Pole this time. Grin

Yes, we have satellite in this area but it is "very" costly to install and per month.
Since we are hoping to move soon, it would be a real pain to change our e-mail address
on all business cards etc. If we were staying here, we would probably consider it. Yes,
the game and most other things take some time to load.

Wow. Nice going Elf!

It looks like Mystic has won this time, unless someone posts a screenshot in the next 5 minutes with a score higher than him.

Congratulations Mystic!

I'll be here sobbing in the corner while thinking about the next competition late autumn Smiley


Great scores all around i must say. Something tells me the forum likes a game or two Smiley

Mystic. I'll gather around some plates of Stratos and "Helnøtt" for you Smiley
