The score depends on how fast you can get from 1 to x. A stopwatch is started when you tap 1 and stopped when you tap the last number.

If you improve in each level and remain a constant rate, you get more points in higher levels. Suppose you take 1 second to finish each level, your points in all levels will be: 320, 500, 720, 980, 1280, 1620.

Ok; I wanted to try again and click super-fast, but the game stopped between levels 8 and 9 with the error "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'width' of undefined" in board.js, line 48

I'm on Chrome 39.0.2150.5 dev-m on Windows Vista on a 1280x800 laptop.

Can't seem to do better than 1770; but isn't what you're measuring mouse ability rather than memory... ;-)
