A game created in JavaScript for your entertainment. Containing retro style glowing graphics - assuming you're using anything better than evil IE8, otherwise you don't get the pretty glows and nice rounded corners. This is an update of the last JavaScript Game I made - I said I'd update it at some point, and here it is. Runs much smoother, although visually I preferred the lighter background looking back, but that's just an easy CSS change.

The idea is to guide the ball through the holes to reach the bottom. The arrow keys, mouse, or a touch screen can be used to control the ball. It technically works on phones as it's not Flash based and widths are set as percentages, but it depends on your screen resolution and graphics provider as to how well it will work.

It heavily uses the jQuery animate tool, as well as the jQuery Rotate plugin, and took around 3 hours to make. The rows are generated randomly with PHP, so the difficulty can also vary slightly between refreshes. A difficulty trigger is activated when the ball reaches the bottom of the screen - when this happens, it speeds everything up as it assumes it has been going too slowly for the player until this point.

High scores are kept locally and per session, but in future it would easily be possible to have them saved in a database. Try it for yourself, it demonstrates itself better than I can explain in words!
