Jazz,

You should have been ok. There are other players--real?--who have times longer than yours, so I wouldn't think that yours should have timed out.

And the little guys don't have to have even half of the dots to stay. I think it's supposed to end when you have oe of the guys without any strength. I'd say try again on another day to see what happens. I haven't lasted longer than 1:19 the two times I've played it.
