A cute little old game, that made me loose soooooo many hours....

I never got past level 9, and that was when I was still young (2 years ago) :smallfrown:

Now, I struggle getting to level 8...

"Addictive" doesn't even begin to describe it.

Yup. A game a day keeps the doctor away. It's definetly healthy to regulary play that game...

Fun. I haven't even got to level three yet and I love it. Curving is fun.

Level 7 in a several tries, it always happens when I try to curve a very fast ball and miss. :smallbiggrin:

Is that bad?:smallconfused:

I can get to level 7 consistantly, but then it starts geting hard. Never reached level 8. Lies! I just did! W00T!:smallsmile:

I can get to level 7, but then it starts getting insane. The ball almost travels perpendicular to the walls when curved right. :smalleek:

I can get to level 7 fairly easily, and level 8 with some difficulty.

I've never beaten level 8, although I did score against it twice one time (so we were both in sudden death).

Reminds me of an old game my brother downloaded when I was a kid. 3d pong is always the best.

Got level 6 on my first try.... but... I dunno I kinda wish it had multiplayer

Yeah. Just not hotseat. That would make my head spin looking at both screens. Maybe one of those Play-a-random-dude-on-a-mountain-in-Tibet-kinda-dealies. No usernames or anything. Just click and go. :smallbiggrin:

Two tries, got to level 5 on the second.

I super-spun it in on the first try every time on level 4, then tried the same on level five but failed to deflect it when it shot back.

I am humiliated.

I *think* I reached level 10 a few times back when I first found out about it, but that was a few years back. Let's see how I do now...

EDIT: Level 7 this time.

Level 6, 15515 points is my current record. Let's see if I can beat it.

I've actually always disliked this game, personally. I prefer things that are either more puzzley, actiony, or adventurey. Not sure how to classify this one, it's just never grasped my interest much.

Woot, I´m better at something then Raistlin. *feels proud*

Current record's 26225 on level 8, it seems that listening to "The Extreme" from Final Fantasy 8 helps :P.

EDIT: I clicked on "save page as", which somehow caused two Curveball games to come up. Tried playing them both at the same time, managed to get to level 6 before losing all my lives on one of them. Combined score of about 44k :P

I always find that the trick to beat Level 8 is to keep it simple: don't do fancy stuff right away. Just go for the straight ball at first, and keep trying to do straight stuff.

The AI will complicate matter waaaaaaaaaaaaay too quickly for your own tastes anyway...

Oh... sweet. I managed to beat darn level 8.. :smallbiggrin:

Off course, level 9 wiped my sorry ass... :smallfrown:

Level 9 and 30685 baby!

Jesus. I was playing this game over 5 years ago... on the same site. Foolish teachers letting me near a computer to do my work.

I am honestly surprised this is still around.

:smalltongue:

liar :P unless you watched someone play it first. Got to like... 4 on my first try cause I didn't notice the "depth lines"

Currently on level 8 in my first hour :D:D

Level 7 first try. Eh, not that difficult to figure out.

Am not.
Just much experience with table tennis and pong can make this game pretty easy for the first 6 levels orso.
