Erkki Posted June 10, 2004 this java game is so fucking addictive!erm.. hurl the cat into space and get the best orbit round the earth for points.. http://www.redlynx.com/misse_murre/test/missemurre.html Seems to me it's just dumb luck whether I get a good throw or a really bad one. My record is 4100 + something.edit. Damn. When this throw started out, I thought that would go pretty far, but see: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anba Posted June 11, 2004 Over 8000 About 2,5 times around the globe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted June 11, 2004 Wohoo! I made it to the all-time top 20, past you, Anba. It seemed like luck though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wormsie Posted June 11, 2004 3. deadworm (maybe) [/size] You mean I have played Misse & Murre? I have never played Misse & Murre. My parents don't let me play computer games. In any case, I don't want a life. From what I have seen and heard, having a life is boring. And even intoxicating. GET NOLIFE! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anba Posted June 11, 2004 Damned. I'm stuck on below 7000... gotta try harder.. back to top 20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted June 11, 2004 I love and hate this game. I still get pretty awful throws most of the time. To get a good throw (above 5000 or so) I have to patiently wait for that one out of thirty good starts. Most of the times the cat just rotates way too fast for me.

Anba Posted June 11, 2004 You have to get the cat over 300 as fast as possible. Then the atmosphere doesn’t slow you down as much as in lower altitudes. Look to pressure meter, the light goes green as the height as good enough. For cat rotation can’t help much but you can also look for good launch timing on artificial horizon meter.

Lindset Posted June 11, 2004 I was finally able to get a decent throw. My personal highscore is now at 7690 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted June 12, 2004 Woohoo! 9951. Just a little more and I'll beat 10,000 (and idlethumbs.NOT). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLacey Posted June 13, 2004 I can't get the throw to move more than a few cm across the screen. And yes, I am using the mouse as it says in the instructions. This seems to be a bit rubbish, tbh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jayel Posted June 14, 2004 This is, like, the best use of physics in a game ever! I'd gladly pay for a game like this! Oh wait, I wouldn't. But still damn good, I must say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
