How to win: Never press up.
8th try in this example and i always end up running into a situation where i have to press up, press up, and lose because of it. this can't be all there is to this strategy.
15th try, success
pressed up towards the end, forgeted everything up, hyperventilated to exaggerate my frustration and my family became concerned, then i won through some miraculous force of god and like broke out into song and freaked everyone out.
