Throw Me: Today's Time Waster

As the ball soars through the air, a few things can help it along. If the ball hits clouds, it's pushed up by an updraft. If the ball hits a wrecking ball (near ground level) or special clouds (in the air), you're given a power meter which launches the ball farther based on how well you time the pressing of the spacebar. You can also use the aid of little balloons by pressing the spacebar while the ball is flying (if you have stamina in your stamina meter) to keep your ball floating.
Apparently people have scored distances over 200,000 feet; clearly we didn't score that well.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

The game is buggy! When I hit a distance of 186,000 the thing went into free fall .. but on the way down, the height measurement went past 0 and hit negative! It's still counting down negatively as I speak!

Buggy indeed. I've got the game open in another tab, playing itself. I hooked one of those cranes and somehow the meter on the left extended the top of the screen. I let go and it sent me flying at something like 40,000 mph. Right now I'm 425,000 feet up and falling at 500 mph (which appears to be some sort of hard-coded terminal velocity). I'm also falling straight down now (my distance has stopped increasing at 637,350) even though I launched at an angle. So much for parabolae. I'll check back in about ten minutes, which is when I figure I'll hit the ground.
...
Oh, what the hell. Instead of the ground appearing when my height hit zero, I'm still falling through blackness at 500mph. My height is now -50,000 and dropping. Get me off this crazy thing!
