71 squares, 4996. I saw black circles and wasn't sure if I was meant to get them, but I was too scared to risk it..

10,588. Not too hard, if you just stay in the middle and wait for powerups.

If you haven't had a red circle, you owe it to yourself to give them a try.

110 squares, 10820.

key point: invincibility doesn't protect you from red power-downs. i got an invincibility, then hit a speed-up red circle by mistake and went butt-wild for the last 30 squares.

whew!

dammit, majcher, how'd you get some many points? i thought i was on fire there for a second.

mrgrimm - yeah, it helps if you are just killing time, waiting for your girlfriend to get ready so you can go out for the evening.

1 square, 17066 points.

The no-squares technique works great, until you get so many of the "mini-square" powerups that your square disappears.
