Things I've noticed:

If you just lob the ball at the plane, you can recatch it. This doesn't really seem to help in any way.

If you hit the plane and the basket in the same throw, it doesn't get you any additional points. (And I spent so long trying!)

Very simple and addictive... and I'm still very crap at it.

Unfortunately, like all other Flash apps, it works for shit under anything but Windows.

Works great on my PowerBook in Safari, and I'm pretty sure that's not Windows.

That's aside from that aforementioned trackpad thing, though.

I find it nigh unto impossible even with a mouse! I have no touch... no touch at all.
I did get about 3900 one time but that was a complete fluke.

It is amazing how absolutly horrible I am at that game. It could be because I'm using a Wacom Tablet, but I think I just have no skills at all.

The little details really make that game enjoyable, such as how the thickness of the dotted tracer line changes depending on the strength of your throw.


Cool game
