This game is as torturous as being forced to listen to Bonnie Raitt's "Let's Give Them Something to QWOP About" for hours on end.

This is incredibly hard. Cool idea for a game mechanic though.

Oh God, there's obstacles later, it's worse than QWOP!

Is there a link to the game? There are screenshots but they don't lead to the game.

- There is already a video game called Rebound
- There is also a rubberband-based game by the same name

143.48 now. All though hours I spent in Kerbal Space Program trying to keep my navball locked on a node is finally paying off!
I find keeping the line at an attitude of 80 degrees is the key. If you spin, try to correct to 80 deg at the apex and ignore the terrain. Most of the time you are just fine tuning with "A", and occasionally over-correcting your adjustments with "D".

Thank god I told myself I could quit when I broke 100.
Possibly more QWOP than QWOP.

After a steady stream of 20-70 meter runs, a Bob Beamon moment left me with a happy ending of 174.02. A worthy addition to my tiny time waster collection.

I went too far right and lost all momentum. Too much spin, I guess.

Is the goal to get your bar stopped? Cuz then I win.
Honestly, I thought it would keep bouncing forever. I'm not sure how I turned off the perpetual motion.

I admire your efficiency in time wasting; my time waster collection is huge.

The section with several tall obstructions with 1-square gaps between them SUCKS.
