"press any key to continue" causes problems when i'm pressing keys frantically as part of the game.  i had no idea what to do with the green box.

Wow, I ****ing love this game. :D

Got 76 on third attempt, didn't realise you had to touch each box and couldn't just prioritize the ones appearing more recently.

Since, as always, I'm a ****ing retard, I got a 48.  I will attempt no more tries because then the result becomes impure.

Just got 97 on fifth attempt. Oh yeah. :D I'm happy with that. Think I've got a strategy nailed.

My initial problem was that I tried to divide my attention between all the activities whilst focusing on either the top right one or just blank space in particular and relying on peripheral vision. After focusing on each activity until the situation had been 'righted', spending max of 1.75-2 seconds, and dividing my scan cycle proportionate to the activities that required the most effort of mine (which for me where the balancing act and the WASD activity), I found my performance increased greatly.

EDIT: FUUUUUUUUUUUCK **** ****. Got  to 131 and lost it. :(

the fact that the controls for the balance and the wasd thing are on opposite sides of the screen from the action they corresponds to is the biggest pain in the ass in the whole game.

Every time I press the right arrow key for balance, it auto-tips the entire thing over and makes me lose.

WTF.

97.

First couple of times, I had myself using arrow keys to move the green box. Didn't end well.

115! Yes!

It was on like attempt #5, but an ant interrupted me on #3.  ;)

I am now officially addicted to this game. Not to mention it makes for an excellent distraction during school lectures.

152, yes! About my 7th try since I first discovered the game  :p

Keyboard continues ****ing up attempts at playing a decent game.  Still can't get past about 50, even though I'm absolutely positive I can do better than that.  The last time I got to the box, my WASD reversed for all intents and purposes, with W making stuttery downward movement, S making stuttery upward movement, and A and D not doing much at all except not help.

Sad face.

Decided to pick this up again and got 194 on the second try. I'm feeling quite happy. :D

Sorry to resurrect this one, but the game is so...awesome.
