Fantastic little game to play around with for some time here and there.

A little simulator of a game that might not be that well-known. The presentation is wonderful. You begin in a small wooden hut with some food cooking on a stove, a bed in the corner, a laptop on the table, and the main attraction, an arcade game. You can move around the room, but you can't interact with anything. Game is started by pressing the ESC button, which opens the laptop. You can adjust a few setting or go straight into the game by choosing one of three difficulties. Competing against AI is fair because it allows you to react and time your shot. The difficulty just affects the computer’s precision. The game itself is very simple. You have a board with 15 buttons that correspond to 15 holes on the playing field. The ball is tossed around and eventually lands in one of the holes. You must press the appropriate button and attempt to flip the ball into the opponent's basket. The trick is in how long you keep pressing the button. This is shown as a circle that gradually fills up. Every spot may have the perfect shot; you simply need to discover it. Because the ball lands on particular holes significantly more often, it's easy to remember only four or five holes.
