To be honest, it's not much of a game, it boils down to probability and chance, and is purely dependent on the luck of what's underneath the cat when it falls, not any skill on the part of the player.
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

Seriously, look - the bonuses/nasties are in different places every time, so it's not even as if you can work out how to use them to any advantage at all, because you can't plan for them!

It's luck of the draw. A good number just means good luck with the bonuses being in the right place, or that you've been playing it for far, far too long.

Hmm... This one's a puzzler. Is it against the rules to be shooting animals FROM cannons AT explosives :D? I bet this has never come up before.

I know, I was joking (I added a strategically placed smiley face to clear things up). It's an addicting game.

Well, you do have to hit spacebar at the right time for max power. I'll stop being a pedantic ass now :D


Fun game, keeps me entertained for about 5 minutes though.

Ah, those are pretty easy. Just count yourself in (you know, like an orchestra conductor might), and you'll get over 90% almost all of the time.

I'll stop being a boring old fart now. :D

I mean, I'm nearly 20, that's old compared to most of you lot. I'll probably feel old when I'm 20 to be honest, if only because I'll have spent 19 years not being 20.
