I actually got an extremely high score before I read the instructions. Then after reading them my score started hurting. It's funny. Not doing anything, I got a high score somewhere around 7,000,000. When I realized I was supposed to click, I started getting game overs at 700,000 haha."},{"author_name":"VDOgamez","author_uid":"1634","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 5:58am","epoch":1367214780,"text":"It took me a while to even figure out how it was interactive because there were so many balls on the screen that seemed to be content going up themselves.
