Timewaster- Pong on Steroids

I'm on level 7..... been playing it for a while now....

I've made it to level 6. Learning how to ace the opponent was a big step.

Holy balls! Level eight is an absolute trip!!

25405. Game Over.

How do you ace an opponent? It always goes straight for me on the initial hit.

Your paddle can be moving when you click the ball.

Try moving from the upper left to the lower right, and click when the crosshairs of your paddle are in the lower right quadrant of the ball.

You can't ace every time, but it's nice to end some points quickly.

Good game.Level 6 17,165

argh. 25315. Fargo, you will go down, but not right now, because if I close my eyes, I am in a green tunnel.

I can't seem to top my first score. This is exactly the type of game that I would love to play p2p against some FOFC'ers.

Just thought that I should announce that a new high score is up-and-coming.

21555

27695

best so far is in level 8, 24335 points... very interesting game...

Okay, I'm done. Someone beat me and I'll be back at this later tonight.

:))

A few things:

1.) LionKing, burn in hell for introducing this foul thing to my life.

2.) What is it about me that, when it comes to this sort of thing, I'll inevitably get my best score in my first game, then get worse and worse as I go.

3.) Is anyone else having more luck when they don't ace? i.e. when you give them a nice easy serve, let them get moving a bit, and then unleash the curve balls?

4.) I HIT THAT! WHAT DO YOU MEAN I MISSED! DIE! (This game has turned me into John McEnroe.)

I tried that in my second game and managed to score 9 straight aces to go to level 4. Then I got too cute in trying to significantly cut the ball through level 6.

Got to level 8 without any trouble. Suddenly, they never missed - 26670.

Edit: Level 8 still - 29690

27540.

arghhh. I can't get more than 1 past level 8 "guy".

I played this quite a bit when I first found it a long time ago. I had to take a screenshot because it took me forever to do.

edit: the picture was massive

wtf Chubby? That was funny.

29,580, Level 9.

If you think 8 is tough...eesh.

Heh, the level 9 paddle is invincible. :)

I WILL beat it!

Just beat my score first. :p

...I can't even get back to 9. :)

First it was Escape and now this. Man how the minutes pass by.

*screams*

Getting to 9 is a lot harder than I thought it was. I made it that one time, I've yet to make it back. GAH! MAKE THE PAIN STOP!

I know how it is CW. I haven't made it back to level 9 since I took that screen shot. that was a year ago. :)

I made it to level 8. Damn that game is addictive.

made it to 8 on 2nd try.

Still haven't won a single round on 8. I can stay alive for awhile (and thus the high score above), but can't win a point.

Remind me to beat the living shit out of LionKing for posting this. :)

Exactly. I think a boot from the CFL is in order.

Alright. I'm foribly prying myself away from this game after a minute long blood-curling scream, upon entering level 8 with 3 guys left, taking the computer down to the final point, and STILL blowing it!

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

(The scary thing is...my brief moment at level 9 makes me wonder how ridiculous level 10 is.)

I doubt there is a level 10. :)

I've played this elsewhere...my high score so far is 32120.

Wig will vouch for me. :D

Whooo! 29,935, made it back to L9....and lost. Rapidly. But I GOT BACK, dammit.

Top scores:

Simms: 32120
wig: 31965
Simms: 31505
wig: 31475

The rest of you can suck it

:)

There's only one winner, so the rest of us are losers. And you my man are the gold-medal loser. Congrats. :p

That just means I suck it better than all of you.

oh wait.

:(

[another half hour gone]

*sigh*

dola-

I've started having theories about how to play the game. Like, you can't play not to lose. You've got to be sassy.

Of course, whenever you develop a theory about a game like this, it's obviously time to stop.

No really, corbes. Stop playing.

You CAN do it. Just close that browser window.

No, not one more game.

Okay, one (1) more game.

There, you see? Another Level 8 flameout. Sure you wish you didn't lose that life when you were screwing around in Level 5, don't you?

My theory: acing your serves on the lower levels is a fool's game. You can do it, but you're preventing yourself from getting into a zone before the higher levels. If you want to run off 9 or 12 straight aces to start the game, you're going to have a tough time of it once you have to gear up for the higher levels.

Oh, by the way, I'm terrible at this game, in case you're wondering.

It's dropping a life inside the first five levels that kills me.

Acing all the serves up to level 5 will give you a ton of bonus points(quicker you beat a level more points you get). I can get in my zone in level 6 and 7.

Nearly cracked the top 4 up there.

I HIT THAT! YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!

I need to calm down...

lol, i got to level 7 using that thimble thumby pointer thing on laptops.

Talk about an excercise in frustration.

I no longer suck it better than all of you.
