Alright, so, you wanna get the hard badge. Use a mouse, you're gonna need the quick and fine movements in order to survive. Secondly, turn your volume to 0 and go into cinematic mode to remove distractions. When you're in the game, try to limit yourself to one general area, my choice is near the bottom barrier. Leave it when you need to, but always try to return to it, this will give you more focus on a singular area as opposed to constantly darting around and trying to keep track of everything at once. However, don't linger in the middle, as that requires focus on every present ball and leaves you susceptible to surprise collisions bouncing right into you. Only pay attention to the balls right around you and the ones coming after you if you spot them in your peripheral vision. In many regards, it doesn't matter how many balls are on the screen, only the amount that are threatening to touch you. As a ball is approaching you, your immediate thoughts should be where it's (PT 1)
coming from and where it's going to be in a few seconds. You don't need to dodge every approach if you steer entirely clear of it entirely. (Of course, don't 'steer clear' right into another ball.) As more balls start appearing on screen, you'll need progressively grant more focus to how the balls are going to collide. Most of my games were ended due to a sudden bounce causing a ball to divert its path straight into me. This is especially important if you have any extremely fast balls on screen, as those will cause large jumps in speed with any ball they collide with. Do not count the seconds you've been playing and do not get flustered as you get further, particularly as you reach your 8th and 9th ball, this will inevitably cause you to choke. Finally, just throw yourself in for another attempt if you fail. This game has RNG regarding where balls spawn, their speed, and their trajectory. You are bound to get a game that just so happens to work out for you one way or another. (PT 2)
