If you reeeeeeally want to just sit and listen to the entire song (without going to Youtube or any other website), right-click as soon as the game starts, then scroll down and click "print...", which will pause the game with the little printing screen (obviously, don't do anything with it), while the music keeps playing. No, this will NOT trick the game area into countinuing counting the seconds in this still state; trust me, I've "researched" this. ;)

Everyone: "Hide in the corner" "Corner method made it easy" ... wtf are you all talking about? Every 10 seconds balls have visited every god damn corner at least once... Is there some exploit I'm not seeing or is everyone retrying until they get a corner that every ball will never go into until at least 201 seconds?

Finally, back at this game so many years later, went full 279 seconds, 10 balls! After I was sure I got it, based on music and previous runs, I just chilled and toyed around, went more 79 seconds... maybe that's the catch. And always look at the center and monitor the fastest balls.

You can get a good score by keeping your ball at the bottom of the screen and just moving it when necessary. In corners helps a lot too.

Whata...i remember having a hard time with this game earlier,but today,after dying suddenly when (5 balls)came,i literally got the hard badge on second try,and with exactly 200 seconds,well,seems legit for me

It amazes me how the touchscreen capability of teleporting the ball wherever you like somehow does not make this game the least bit easier.

This game made me realize how long three minutes and twenty seconds can be. I spend what I think are five minutes, lose and see "You lasted 150 seconds."
Getting the 200 seconds is very painful.

My opinion: A great game, truly magnificent. It had a very simple concept of avoiding the other balls that was so simple, nobody had ever done it before. Particles couldn't be a better name for it, plus a perfect selection of music there too. The fact that it wants to keep you playing is great! usually on sorta small games (partly like this one) I would like to play it once, maybe twice, then play something else. Particles got me stuck into it. Fantastic game! 6/5 stars.

Remember that one level of the impossible game where you have to move your mouse out and then back into the game window to get it to the end? if you move the ball into a corner to hide, and then move your mouse outside the game, you can position your mouse to right outside a different corner and be ready to teleport there when the ball is in danger.

OK there needs to be a automatic pause on focus lost, when the cursor goes outside the boundaries. Most times I get hit are from the blue ball getting stuck, and of course hit when I wouldn't have, from this problem.

Finally get up to seven red balls and felt like shouting, "Leave me alone! D:" Only the desire to listen to Dimrain47's pretty music kept me going that long. Interesting that someone would choose a song that is nearly three minutes in length for a survival game. Four shining stars!

Great, simple game. I find the music helps me concentrate. I used to slave away to get the badge years ago. Brings back memories! 5/5

First try playing this game, scored 106 seconds. Played a 2nd time, WITHOUT moving the cursor. I left the blue ball in a corner and it lasted 121 seconds there. Conclusion: I'm a better player when I don't play... sigh.
