I had some trouble with the up down scrolling so it was near unplayable for me. Might be my mouse, though.

That was me :) A smidgen of advertising is the least I can do for RPS making me aware of this most awesome of games.

Fun game idea–I like this kind of do-two-things at once kind of game. This is unfortunately buggy though with the collision. And the game box is really too small for mouse control.

They should release a game like this that allows you to play Doom and Doom II simultaneously. That would rock.

Hmm. I’ve heard of stag parties, but never a stag do.

Interesting game. I got 11510 (#40) on my first try. But it’s late and im a little intoxicated.

@ Saflo: A bachelor party in AE, I presume.
Oh, and AE would be American English.

My best go so far was the #68 spot in the scoreboard. I am a drummer by the way. For me, the biggest challenge in the game was moving the mouse in either the horizontal or the vertical direction, as it tends to move a bit in both axes. Also, keeping the cursor in the box was a struggle at times.

A multiplayer version of this would be hilarious by the way.

Found a slight bug, in which I caught the ball in breakout between the paddle and the wall, and I could slowly but easily gain a high score at Pong. Cool game, tho!

Got to #56 on the second try! It’s a pretty fun game, but one thing I kept having problems with was moving my mouse cursor outside of the flash box so it stopped registering. It’s a bit distracting having to concentrate on that too along with everything else.

Bigger play areas please!

EDIT: Woah, editing is totally back.
