Physics-Based Game is a Total Waste of Time

It's Saturday and Rex W. sent me a link to People Bucket, a game designed to torment people like me.

Pick up people.
Throw people.
People like buckets.
Don't cross red lines.

The instructions are contradictory, because I have to cross the red line. So I don't get it and feeling an obligation to stop fiddling with it -- and, as this is Saturday, grab something from my honeydo list instead of wasting time on the PC.

Update: Got to level two. It was easy -- once you figure out the strategy (and no, I'm not telling; figure it out on your own!).

It doesn't mean you can't cross the line. If you don't throw them hard enough, the people stick to the line and don't go into the bucket. I got past the first level into the second. Muddy wording, but playable. --Michelle

Sweet, sweet victory! Um, I mean, man, that took awhile to "clean the garage."

Got the level two, Michelle. You're right. Poor directions. --Steve
