Psych experiment made game, cool! Torncanvas, I enjoyed your blog! You're right, Scratch limits its power by not being OO. But that was a decision to make Scratch conceptually accessible for as young an audience as possible. As users gain competence they can graduate to dev environments made for higher performance projects. Its just a shame that more advance dev environments have such unwieldy interfaces.
Yeah, sure. It needs to be changed, but for now the score is dependent on how fast things are going. When you make a miss, you'll slow things down and the score per ball/thingy goes down. This essentially is a form of dynamic difficulty adjustment. Basically, to maximize score you have to never miss. As long as you can do that, you'll get a "perfect" score. The game needs a lot of tuning of course, but this was the result after a couple days.
Yeah, it needs a couple example pictures to tell you what to do and not do. v1.0 would likely have instructions with a "click here to start" type thing. Thanks though :)
Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to move.
Put the black ball between the falling objects and their corresponding words. For more information, visit:

could you explain how the scoring works? I would like to try and maximize my score...
