Same basic concept as Pong, only there's no 2nd player. All you gotta do is keep bouncing that ball back into the air with the paddle. Seems simple enough, right? Oh btw, you have to balance another ball on the platform at the same time.

The key is to get the ball centered and just bounce it up and down vertically.

Once I got it in the middle, the only thing that messed me up was the ball on the bottom bouncing wildly then just shooting off to one side when I tilted the padle at just the wrong moment...

I found that if you go left right pretty fast when the big ball is approaching an edge you can smack it back or stop it mid roll, the problem becomes actually the smaller ball moving to fast.

34.04 :\

This game is awkward, kind of like an analogy with school and things you want to do.

The mouse disappears when playing this game, and as a result the pointer keeps slowly sliding onto the taskbar, causing me to temporalily lose control. 42.62s

1.216 is the best I can do...



Wait a minute... what do you mean, you're supposed to keep the ball in the air?

3.628...didn't have a clue what to do, I'll try again for real.

[edit]

So far, personal best 14.5, I resent the fact I'm as smart as Paris Hilton, for that insult, I'm going to keep going.

It gets annoying after a while, 17.5 is what I quit at.

The highest I got to was 32.248

EDIT: Much much easier to play on a larger screen. My small home monitor is only 14" (TFT) and is bloody difficult to play on. 19" TFT's are much better

I despise that game, it is completely inaccurate and is full of porkies, how do I go from the intelligence of a dog to a 3 years to a Paris Hilton, surely she would go first and in comparison to her I'm freaking Einstein, I'm sorry, but that game is a pack of lies! Lie I tell you! LIES!!

*WARNING*

Seppuku going crazy, please mind his strange sense of humour and avoid all contact at all times. Have a nice day.

Only way I could find to get up there was to swing the paddle back and forth really fast to pause the big ball. Actually trying to balance it once you get past 30 seconds or so becomes a lost cause.
