Screw what I said about that shirt folding thing, this is the new awesomest thing I've ever seen.

It's basically pong, only it takes place in some kind of fluid, and you hold down the left mouse button to eject a steady stream of plasma. The idea is to create enough turbulence that your opponent can't bounce the ball back to you. Or you can right click, and suck it towards you, and then once you've caught the ball, release the button to make an explosion.

Also, it's incredibly psychedelic.

Doc neglected to mention that the music in this thing is <modern slang for 'very good'>. <p><span style="font-size:xx-small;">"It's in the air, in the headlines in the newspapers, in the blurry images on television.

This game will be absolutely fantastic when I get a new computer. Until then, it's wonky. VERY wonky <p>-_-___-___-___-_-

Try decreasing the grid size.

Also, treating this just as Pong is a mistake you have to get over. The main battle is over control of the fluid flows. The ball is just something you have to keep away from your end, which is done best by creating "currents" to the enemy.

When the computer player charges up an explosion, sit in the location the ball is going to go and release a continuous plasma stream. This will cause the ball to leap directly to his side. <p>-----
