98 meters isn't getting him home

100 isn't the key either. Dang, I was hoping that was going to be the end.

i've done a 100 twice now, but I'm getting burned out on it.

good luck all

I tried for 30 or more times. each time I got stopped at 100 or less. I've hit 100 lots of times. Then just now I got to 184 meters[edit, oops 182 meters], and still not home.

observations:
the instant you click start move mouse approx 1/8 inch (4mm) to the right. Look at mans hair line. It goes up then over and then down. try to keep the intersection of the left vertical and horizontal lines lined up with the roof line of the homes. move mouse really slowly. speed seems to effect movement more than distance. If your cursor leaves the animated picture, you fall.

tony

ps, he seems to drink every 15.5 meters, if you need to count without looking down
{edit} he starts drinking at 13, 29, 45, 61, 76, 92 or every 16 seconds starting at 13

I can't get him past 79 meters and lost count of how many attempts I've made but have had him at 79 meters 4 times. Maybe I need to get drunk before I try again so I can be more in tune with the little guy...

Stupid game. I've played it only 20 or so times today. Either the game is changing or I'm getting worse. I haven't managed more than 84 meters all day. Usually falling between 60 and 79. It seems like the program is loosing track of my mouse movements and not responding.

Maybe, I'm just off today.

Maybe the game is interactive, so the farther you get him, the longer home he has!

Or did it occur to any of you that the little guy doesn't want to come home at all?



He'll most probably have to sleep in the carport anyway!

I've gotten 84 on my 3rd try and haven't played since. I think there is no way to get him home. It's prolly like the YETI SPORTS where the goal is the longest distance.
