Deflectorpool



I made this little flash game over three weeks in late 2009. It got sponsored by Minijuegos. I'm happy with how it turned out, both in terms of presentation and gameplay. Reactions have been a little bit mixed though, with some people liking the slightly odd approach while others are annoyed at the difficulty and slight obscurity of how to play.

Play it in your browser here, or check out the screenshots below.

There's also a youtube teaser video.

Players have been a bit confused regarding the controls, but basically you just move the thing around with your mouse and touch balls to deflect or collect them. If they are the same color as you - you'll collect. Other colors are deflected. You can hold the mouse button to enter "color grabbing mode", where you will deflect all balls and at the same time change into their color. The other gameplay mechanics and tactics follow from this. You just have to pay attention.

Collecting uninterrupted sequences/combos of same-colored balls will net you a higher score, but at the same time build up a mass of other balls that you need to keep from dropping to the bottom of the pool.
