The red square game

A fun little game based on incredibily simple rules and relatively simple code: The Red Square Game.
My best time in 10 minutes of play? 12.281 seconds. What's yours?

10.305 in about 5 minutes of play. Only did it once though. Out of the many times I played it, I hit 4.4 about 4 times, and much less than that many many more times ;-)
Of course, I am solo-mom today and exhausted after catching up on all the laundry, bottles, toy-pickups, high-chair cleanings, and other misc mommy duties since Baby Girl went to sleep.
Excuses, excuses, excuses ;-)

Best I could do was 16.306 sec after maybe 5-10 minutes. I'd be curious to know if people are trying to learn a pattern that gets them a little further each time, or if it's seat-of-the-pants survival? My method is to head down for 1 sec, then up to the top LH corner for about 10 sec, then dodge the big fat square coming from the right, etc...

I did't time it but I did move down to the bottom first and then up to the lower left and then into the center - there's definitely a pattern, if you can remember it, to use to prolong the game.

after about 2-3 mins... roughly my 7th or 8th time... i got a 17.667... tho I do have to admit I've been playing video games for a long time and still do.

21.521 the third time I tried it. The only technique I used was to watch where everything was going and make sure not the be in the way. I actually did very little moving, so it looks like there's a sweet spot of sorts. When it started to speed up, I lost immediately.

25.037 after another couple of tries. This game sort of reminds me of Jezzball, which used to ship with Windows way, way back in the day. I always loved that game.

I got 23 seconds on my third try, mostly staying on the left side. Just move slowly and DON'T PANIC. Panicking [sic] is soooo disastrous OMG LOL. Is this how we are supposed to use the internet?

i lasted 40.952 seconds after about 20 minutes o f playing this is my highest score ever. i am legendary at this game and this is not a joke. i literally last about 35 seconds each time i play but this time when i got 40.952 i was so happy. as i said this is not a joke cos i am the best person at this game that i know and everyone thinks i am the best at it. so i still play this game every day and try to beat my highscore but the closest ive come to beating it is 38.914 seconds after playing for about 8 minutes.
