Boomshine


I recently came across a site for the game Boomshine. It is a fairly simple game, in which a number of small colored orbs are floating around the game area, and the player is supposed to place a larger ball in a space where the most orbs are likely to hit it. The number of small orbs and the target number of hits increase thoughout the game. I find the game both hypnotic and addictive. There is a sound track that reminds me of the piano music in Peanuts cartoon shows, and for some reason, I keep thinking that if Peter Max was to create a game, Boomshine might be what he’d come up with.
