This game very much surprised me. I played like, an hour of it. It is so very addicting and satisfying when you get a really big chain of powerups. The most satisfying thing of all was when you got the bouncy ball, got a whole lot of speed, and then hit a bouncer thing and get propelled all the way across the map. One thing though.
