How to feel like an idiot for wasting ten minutes having fun

If I wasn’t so busy with school work, this would totally wreck my
morning (be strong… be STRONG…)

The game is, you are a robot with one tool… a “sticky rope” that you
can shoot up at the roof. You have to avoid swinging down into a row
of points at the bottom of the screen. Start by shooting the rope up
at a mid-distant point on the roof. Hold the mouse-button down. You’ll
start swinging to the right. Before you go off-screen, when you are
still rising, let go of the mouse button.

You will arc up, then start down again. Shoot another rope into the
roof and repeat, seeing how far you can go before dying. I only got
about 800 meters on my 4th try. Since the game is in Japanese, I’m
just guessing at the rules I wrote above, they may be wrong. Let me
know if you have fun with this.

I grew up in New England, did a short stint in the U.S. Navy after high school, worked in various factories, built & renovated houses, and finally moved to the Carolinas in 1998 to start working at what was then a large regional bank and is now a really big nationwide bank. I work doing SharePoint management site management. After work I make soap, knit, ride my motorcycle, read, watch movies & eat. I ride a Yamaha V-Star 1300. I am pretty sure that I want to hike the Appalachian Trail someday, or possibly do a long-distance rowing trip. I'll be retiring in a few years, and hope to run a craft soap-making business to bring in some cash.
