This game gets faster every 10 points. Starting at 30, point-cubes start spawning on the edge rows which further increases the difficulty. By the mid 50s you have to be in constant reaction without ever even a fraction of a second pause. The best way of measuring your skill and tracking progress in this game is not by your highest score, which is subject to quite high variance, but by your probability of getting one more point. I disagree with the advice to take your time. You cannot get on the first page of high scores without getting to a game speed that is constant reaction mode, so you might as well have all your game time be practicing that. Although it's trivial to learn to make the orange cubes orbit you at the beginning speed, it is a pointless skill that won't help you at all in the 40s & 50s, and won't help you get the edge blocks starting at 30 either, although it is still useful in the 20s to slow the orange blocks down long enough to get a mental break.
