Yeouch. Looking at Bob's screen shot inspired me to download the source and play it on my laptop in Linux. I love this game, it is true.

My second game in I think was the best I've ever done:
{"name":"593375","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/f\/c\/fc9c6d79e5aeeea15635ec7b6651e730.png","w":648,"h":509,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/f\/c\/fc9c6d79e5aeeea15635ec7b6651e730"}593375

Edit: not quite as good as kenmasters1976, but certainly better than the "beat this!" shot. ;)
Edit2: The excessive bouncing can be a little annoying. In that game with my screen shot I bounced a LOT.

Well, if you are not willing to waste the time it takes to break a highest record, you can always take the "1000 m challenge".

Good Luck!

EDIT: By the way, I see my "Walls" record has been broken, so I'm taking that as a challenge. I'll see you soon.

The best part is modding the game. I changed it so the magnet time starts out at 1, never decreases, and all the obstacles are beans. The cannon ball goes crazy after a few seconds!

You should add more obstacle types to this, Ben.

I got a bounce 400m high. (it seemed rather odd, but I just started playing this for keeps, so I'm still a noob)

How high have you all gotten? Whoa, nevermind. You guys must be playing this a lot!

The attached image is because I thought the score was a power of ten higher than it was.
