Very interesting game. I need to work out the strategies for when it's good to send the wrong color down a lane. What's your high score @Red?

I'll have to check.  I have this game packed away at the moment, so I'll need to dig it out.

You win again, @Splain!  Did you wind up playing again after posting your score?  It's too bad not more people gave it a shot.  I really think it's one of the best puzzle games out there.

I just looked it up, it's 128,145 on Hard.  After I got the hang of the game, I stopped playing Normal because it started off too slow for me.  There's no separate rankings for Normal difficulty, so all my saved scores are from Hard.

Good grief!!! I did play it a bit more, I thought a four-digit score was good, but clearly I've got some room to improve. I need to cultivate some better auto-pilot habits for the long stretches. Props!!
