A variation on Pong with a dynamic playing area (more accurately a fluid dynamic playing area) which affects the flight of the ball - and which you can directly affect.

Requires download and installation and, and I cannot stress this enough, if you are epileptic, stay the hell away from this game.

(imagine that, but moving very quickly indeed)

I reached level 17 before I swallowed my own tongue.
 
I just got to level 28 before I died.
It was more through luck than judgment.

I think I'm going to go lay down now. My head hurts.
 
Ok, im loving the game. Im like homer simpson with things like this as long as there are lots of pretty colours i end up staring at the screen playing without blinking for what seems like hours at a time. Anybody played the PS2 game Fantavision? you basically blow up fireworks causing "pretty colours" in the sky.

What im not loving though is that i havnt exactly been on good terms with my boss today, had a few arguments etc. He just saw my screen and asked me what that was. Luckily he is very computer illiterate so i managed to get away with telling him that my monitor needed recalibrating and what was on my screen was the pc optimizing the resolutions and colour definitions. A close call i could have done without!

Guess that will teach me for playing games at work. Im still trying to work out how i managed to complete Quake 3 - Arena and get a few online battles in too without him noticing.

Next time i think i will just blame the Indigo one!

Spec....
 
Just the screenshot makes me want to get my glow sticks out and go raving.
 
Wow, looks good, I'm downloading it right now.

Wow, I love it and I'm only on level two, the music sound very dramatic but seems to go with the game.

Could anyone tell me how to do that 'charge up' like thing the opponent can do?
 
Thanks Famine, I'll use right click over ctrl+click, it's easier (no keyboard needed).

I don't suppose it'll run on an apple mac then. (if your wandering why I put that quote in, it's because theres no such thing as a right click on n apple mac)

Umm, there's a right-click in Macs. My Mighty Mouse has one.

Not if your mac is like from world war 2. It's called the mighty-mouse, people. Mac of course has right-click functionality.
 
Macs have right-click functionality when they use a PC-based mouse. But otherwise, it's ctrl+click... I used to work with hardcore Mac enthusiasts and they would get all prissy when I asked about right clicking in Photoshop.
 
Wrong! Migh-ty Mouse! Say it with me! It's an Apple product.

Hell, I tap my trackpad on my new MacBook with two fingers and it "right-clicks".
 
Got to level nine

I am 7, 8, 9 and 10 on the high scores table

I wish I had a blazing graphics card so I could enjoy the true beauty of this game.
 
Level 19 (SO CLOSE TO 20)

#4 ranked.

I have surpassed Famine. :D

Had everything on high settings. Hence the 28 FPS.

Best so far here at GTP :D

 
IMTDS said he got to lvl 28

Highest anyone has gotten is level 27. I call BS. Some new guy just waltzes in saying "I'm #1". Fishy.

I'm the highest scorer with proof

Pur-lease. I've hit 25 4 times.
