So, where are the women? They are supposed to be better at multitasking. 500+?

Oh sry I forgot, no women on the internet...

I showed this game to my girlfriend and she kept getting in the 50's.
Eventually she tried again, and her top score was 90 something.
Better at multitasking my ass lol.

Also I've got some quick tips:

- Always put the balancing ball under top priority. It requires the most attention, because if you press it too hard, the ball begins to roll too fast in the other direction. What you want to do is get it steady in the middle, then just use LIGHT taps to moderate it in either direction.

- The blue box requires the second most attention, in my opinion. Unlike the green box which you can do mostly with your peripheral vision, it's hard to pinpoint exactly whether or not a spike is going to hit you or not without looking closer. I glance over at this from time to time, more often than the others but less often than the ball. I also usually keep my bar thingy at the top, and just move it away when spikes come, but move it back when they're gone. Not really sure if this is good for anything, but might as well mention it

- I personally do the entire WASD box one thing with my peripheral vision. Sometimes I miss the boxes by a bit so I'll have to glance down for a sec and get it right. This one has low priority because the boxes don't spawn very fast, and a 10 second timer is a lot for a game like this. There's almost always enough time to attend to the other games and still get the boxes. I've never died because of this one.

- The last square is easy shit, but sometimes if you miss it, you might panic and screw up on the other games. If you see the next bar is coming from the bottom, just hold spacebar, and don't let go unless you have to. This way you can focus on the other games without having to constantly hold it and let go. At first your brain will probably freak out because holding the spacebar is just one more task of the many, but you get used to it eventually.

i don't believe you have to make balancing top priority... cuz blue ^v box will kill you the fastest.

I can't get more than 1 point because as soon as I start the board goes completely to one side.

@ronald McD
highest score? i'm at 277 following the (different) advice on page 7 from a guy who was 222 at the time.

edit: ok. past 250, i think the balance does become the most difficult,

personally i find the blue box the hardest because it is most random... after 250 when it speeds up again EVERYTHING becomes quite difficult! i was even having to watch the yellow one cause it was changing so quick! dunno how people are getting 400s (well... i have suspicions!) but i guess this is TL, so gosu is to be expected!

ok so I played this like crazy last night at home. Once you get to a certain point it gets to a sort of pattern because it so fast. Just gotta run the pattern over and over and just boils down to patience, execution, and determination really.

I think I'm done for a while.

I just got 308, I agree that the blue box with the arrows requires the most attention, the other 3 you can basically do peripherally, just glancing every now and then if they require more attention.

Fun game, but it gets a bit boring. Imagine controlling 5 or 6 games, thats what I want to try, rather than the games just "getting harder". Or they could get harder as well...

I have a question to all the people in the 400s: are there any more difficulty changes after 250?

something like 15th try after 2 days break :

Legit until 280 or so, after that it started lagging out of nowhere. I tried to close all my TL.net youtube videos and as a result my commands were out of control and lost it.
