Is there a special 'tactic' to get a high score, like some number of these, followed by another set of those? I just saw a youtube of someone that got to 2600 particles. I can come to someting between 450 and 550. I have normally no problem with minigames, so what is the trick?

I'm averaging between 800 and 1000 with a personal best of 1600, but with that one the particles rarely moved from the top 2 lines. Of course, that's when the game actually plays for the full 50 seconds, since a lot of the time I will start the game and within seconds the game ends. I still get my reward, but it makes practicing more difficult. Also, apparently if you get a good enough score, you can earn Slivers and Shards, but I have no idea what kind of score is required for those since I've yet to get one.
When I asked in one of the chat channels I'm in how I could improve my score, the general advice was to use the mouse. I tried the mouse and I didn't even break 400, so it has been and probably always will be just the keyboard for me.

The difference between doing the minigame or just letting the time pass is that the minigame kills the time better :P
Not that my higher score matters, I still just get a trace.
First, use the mouse. A high sensitivity is ideal (mine's at 1200 dpi, as a matter of preference), so that you can use it fast. Trying to use the keyboard simply takes too long.
Secondly, learn to bounce. The particles start a new animation once you've gotten credit for them, the second you see the start of that animation, bounce your mouse to the next spot.

I basically use the keyboard and have so far been able to get 1,750 points at best and typically over 900. With the mouse I think the best I got is 900, but I only just started trying this method. I use the Logitech Performance MX mouse which has a DPI somewhere between 1000 - 1400. However, it sometimes lag a bit so I might need to increase mouse sensitivity in the game.
My best score is 2.2k and usualli my score il 1600-2000.
...and yes... some luck, because of lag.

You can mousover the whole line, not only the last sector, if that helps you.
2k is not very difficult after a bit of training, but as already stated the reward is still somewhat rng. Regularly get traces for 2600 (max score i think)...
Time will only tell!
