We had this one a while ago. Thought it would be fun to do it again.

Click on "Make a Toss." When the game comes up, click your mouse to make the native start running. Click again (and hold the mouse button down) to start him raising his spear. Then let go of the mouse button to throw the spear.

Don't run past the rocks, that's your foul line. And don't start raising the spear too early, or you'll end up throwing it straight up into the air!

532.388 so far today.

I always seem to get just a fraction below the listed top ten scores. Starting to wonder if those are fictional scores, and it's impossible to get above what I've gotten.

(now I'm sure someone will come in here and post they got 540 or something)

541.788... just kidding Who! Yikes... not my game. I just about speared the guy a few times by throwing it almost straight up in the air.

Argh! I just threw 535.902 but it didn't show up in the high scores. I'm almost positive I didn't foul out too!

Well, I guess that throw the other day was a foul. I e-mailed the site. They said that scores over 535.019 are not possible!

I sure wish someone else would come in here and give me a tip on how to throw farther. I'd love to see a player here on thier top 10 scores!

I think I'm the only one playing this though (except for the one time stops of Melfie and Kaili). Oh well.

I couldn't get over 320, but I'll try again tomorrow. I found myself getting out of breath by grunting every time the spear thrower did.

OK, here's how I get the best score I can (though I still must be doing something wrong, since I can't get on the high score board). My best throw to date is 534.747.

When I click for the guy to start, I watch his feet and count (you can also hear his foot steps just barely). When he takes his sixth step, I click to raise the spear. Somewhere between 8 and "eight-and" (see if anyone has a musical background here ), I let go of the mouse button to throw. If you wait all the way till 8 1/2, you'll probably foul out. Release too soon on 8, and you'll throw the spear too shallow, and it won't go very far. I used to click to raise the spear on "five-and" and had fairly good results, but it puts too steep an arch on the spear's flight path.

OK, so how many people do I have going huh

We need an experienced gamer to come in here and tell us how to do it. I have never been able to get into top scores on line!

Well, if Ms Sarah is like a lot of kids, just hand the game over to her, and she can tell us all how its done!

I was going to do that, Who, but she already showed me how to do 3 or 4 other games earlier so I decided it was her bedtime instead. She's good at these buggers and I'm so inept. But I keep trying!

LOL. Well, after a good nights sleep, maybe she can give us pointers tomorrow.
