Brandish a Ball

Despite the very odd name, this game is great. Its simple, but flashy and very addictive. It takes a while to understand due to the game being in japanese, but no fear! I'll explain what I can :p In this game you have a line attached to the mouse and a ball at the end of that line, you have to spin the ball around to hit the other balls all over the screen. Doesnt sound very exciting, but believe me it is! There are 2 ways to lose. One way is by letting your ball go too far off the play field, there are walls preventing this but they dissapear after 1 hit, you can get them back by destroying a blue ball tho.

The other way, which is what helps make the game even more exciting, is the bomb balls. There are red white and blue balls. The red ones are just for score, the blue are to replace the walls and the white are bombs. That will eventually decide that they feel like exploding, when they do they will be covered by a “warning” sign and must be destroyed or boom! Game over! Another thing to note is that you can stop the ball completely by pressing the left mouse button, and use a special 'large ball' with the right button.

The games graphics are extremely flashy and very very nice. The music and sound effects are also great. Final note, you must run the setup before the game will work.

Pros:

Original simple gameplay
Addictive
Great feel brought by music and graphics

Cons:

All japanese so hard to understand readme and options
