Hey, I spent the last week working on this little game.. It's inspired by a flash game called "Particles".

The goal of the game is to last as long as possible. You have to avoid the red gum balls at all costs.

Move the blue gum ball with your mouse.

Thanks to the people who helped me with my ball collision code issues ;)

Hey, good simple fun. I enjoyed playing, and the design is really clean and efficient.

The only suggestion I have is maybe 'lock' the mouse inside the screen, because I find myself flying off the screen when I make a fast move, and then I have to move the mouse back to the screen and by that time I'm dead anyway.

But that's just a minor thing anyway, good work, I like games like this.

Thanks for the feedback... I'm not sure about locking the mouse inside the window.. I don't know if people like programs locking their mouse in the center of their window.

My highscore is 103 seconds... Can you beat it? :)

Hey! That's neat! simple and fun.

Yeah you're probably right, that would freak people out.

And I can only get like 53 seconds or something. I'm really bad at it apparently. I tried different strategies too, like just hanging out in a corner or following the fast ball but I just stink.
