Simple and addicting gameplay, slick stylised graphics and competitive multiplayer contests make this browser based Basketball game a 'must play' for pointer control gamers.

Played in an immersive full screen mode, the aim is to use your cursor to control the tradjectory of the ball, with a click of the the left mouse button (or equivelant) launching the ball. The controls suit any method of accurate pointer control, with the additional neccessary ability to use a controlled mouse click (or equivelant selection method).

Music Catch 2 retains the simplicity (sound, graphics and gameplay) which made the original so appealing, whilst adding new songs, levels and a few subtle new features.

The aim, as before, is to move your target around the playing area, collecting as many of the shapes which appear as possible, whilst avoiding the red ones. Each level last the length of a song (which impacts on the frequency that the shapes are released). You will progress the level no matter how few points you gain. After each level you will unlock new songs, shapes, patterns and motions from which you can create your own levels. Your progress will be retained next time you visit the site.

The genre of ‘Marble Popper’ games is vast. The aim of them is to fire a marble into a trail of multicoloured marbles to form groups of 3 of more, and thus reduce the trail in length and eventually altogether before it reaches the end of the trail. The main (some would say the only) difference between the different versions is the graphics and locations, which package the gameplay.

Czech design team ‘Amanita Design,’ who, among other things, make point and click flash games. The idea, generally, with them is to travel through the scenes in the imaginative worlds they have created to the next. To do this you explore the scenes for hidden interactive elements some of which will help you onto the next page.

Another simple game, which is highly addictive. Using pointer or switch  control, the player must aim the ball at the coloured pegs and then fire it to hit as many as possible to gain points. Peggle works well with eye control using blink as the click function to release the balls.
