Losing balls quickly combined with the occasional 20 seconds of indended nothing meant about 70% of the time I was doing absolutely nothing feeling quite frustrated :(
I like idea of doing something new every 20 seconds, but the implementation was off, too much waiting around.
The waiting was pretty much inspired by the XKCD comic #1190 (Time). But you are probably right, too much waiting for a game.
@Tyro: That's a great idea. switching to another game after losing all balls. I should have implemented it that way.
I would like you to set up google analytics if you haven't already: I'd like to know how long people spend on the game. Also, world-wide leader board please.
Something else that's neat about this game is that later, you could implement more mini-games and throw them in without telling anyone. Only the most patient players would be able to discover the truth.
Did you ever play VESPER5?
Good suggestion, I've added GA to the page.
World-wide leader board would take a while. It's all client side at the moment so it would be easy to cheat by submitting fake scores.
I was planning to add more games but ran out of time. But more games can be added and I probably will once the judging has ended.
Haven't even heard about VESPER5 until now, but that game is much more extreme about waiting :)
@cahman
smoother transitions is something I wanted to do and might add later
Also, in case no one has realized: Every 250 points the amount of balls increases. (In the pong-like games only after you lost all your balls)
And so humor lol.
