    This is a fun game, but a great way to get carpal tunnel

    Is there any way to play this game, especially the higher levels, without getting carpal tunnel syndrome?

      people play for 2-3 hours a day, for over a year straight.... no carpal tunnel. its no worse than someone who sits at a desk typing for hours a day... so, its most certainly not something to worry about.

        I have to say, it depends on your finger placement. I used to play 1 handed 4 fingers (numpad) for over a year and at times I felt it in my hand. Recently I started playing 2 handed and now I never feel anything in my hands and I'm getting even better

        Just make sure you're not playing with cramped fingers, just relax your hand while playing.

          You CAN develop carpel tunnel but you'd probably have to make this game your life..or play like Nima or Arch but like more...

            Its pretty hard to do =/

            I've fucked up my hand playing 1 handed before though. Problem is solved by using 2 hands.

                My wrists hurt sometimes. I'm kind of worried. I think maybe it's because of my setup.

                            Ya you would have to make this game your whole life to get carple tunnel, but I think a few hours here and there wont kill ya.
