my score (Click to Show)


The game doesn't seem to be that random though. The gaps seem to correspond to whatever your speed is while it's being generated. Like if you go slow, the gap will be short. But if the gap has already been shown on screen, then you bump into an obstacle, then you're going to be too slow to make it.

I don't know if it's true or not, but I've played the game assuming that what I said was right and I seem to have done well (taking into account my poor eye-hand coordination and my teary eyes from all the shaking that goes on the game).

Yeah, the gap between buildings is decided on what your speed is. I try not to hit two boxes in a row, but if you hit one you will always be able to make the next jump.
However, I really hate when you're given a window to jump into that's too low--so that jumping at all will make you hit the wall, but it's too high to make the jump if you let yourself just fall. What the game is expecting you to do is to jump before you can even see the window and make the leap somehow.

Yeah that part is bullshit. Although I thought you could make it by making an extremely small jump (just tapping it) while you're going fairly slowly. Also, if you're going fast you can make it without jumping. I usually miss it regardless, because my finger is too trained to just press jump, no matter how lightly.

I don't know if it's just my keyboard (Probably is), but I find that sometimes when I press the jump button, it just doesn't jump.

As well as the fact that I have the unluckiness to have those windows under you at about 500 meters 75% of the time, stunting any point growth I could possibly have.

Edit: Just saw the scores. DEVOUR. stop being good at everything. It affects my self-esteem.

Edit2: After about 100 tries (And I literally do mean 100 TRIES), I have a bit better of a high score. Fucking window.

Nice to see you managing to dominate, Smile. I know you're not that suck on gaming.

Gotta agree with these. Though in my opinion you can jump towards far gaps in not-so-slow speed, but you probably need to jump at the end of the building in exact timing to reach another.
Plus, jumping through that window is indeed tricky to be executed. Need fast thinking and focus for that one (I ever ended up stumbled the upper wall which hasn't really far distance with the window, what a close call).

As long as everybody can see the score, I think it's OK. Though we need to open another tab to see the screenshot from that link.
Well, seems I can finally beat Devour's score after 2 days not playing this :
