^^ Thanks for breaking the page, dorks.

Tough game! Though I recommend playing it with a tablet, if you have one — it's much easier to control.

I need a new mouse.

This game is exactly like a great arcade game called The Irritating Maze. Except that when you lose the arcade version, the lights flash and vents blast air into your face.

Me and my optical mouse own you all.

Incidentally, you'll have better luck if you play full-screen.

When I saw "The Irritating Maze", I thought it said The Amazing Race, and I wondered if you could choose to team up with the Clowns, the Virgins or the NFL Wives...

Stupid. I got through it in under 30 seconds and the "next" button did nothing.

yeah, or you can cheat and press start then zip your mouse and click NEXT like a madwoman until you realize nothing is going to happen.

What's the point of cheating if there's no prize at the end?

The "next" button did nothing? Worked for me.

Of course, real cheaters can always use the mousekeys option in windows (to allow cursor control with the arrow keys).

But can you fucking handle my optical trackball technique?

Funny. I was just going to say that me and my optical mouse can't even get 1/8 of the way. Stupid cheap technology. Jumps all over the damn place.

I'm not saying you did, but if you cheat, the next button does nothing. If you actually go through it, it most certainly does work.

Irritating Maze looks an awful lot like a game I used to have called "Irritating Stick"

Someone's in for a nasty surprise near the end ;)

I didn't cheat. But the next button still wouldn't work for me.
