If your meter is skipping a little make sure before you play that you clear your cache and that no other programs are running on your computer. To me that is something that you should do if you play any game that requires timing. Also on the lower right of your game window is arrows that say full screen, clicking that arrow while i have played has made my meter "almost" perfect. You should try a few things before complaining, you will be surprised at what you may accomplish. :)
