Keep the Ball Up & Bouncing Game - Poom

Play a hard, ‘one-level’, hand-eye coordination and reactions-based game of survival (kind of similar in concept to keepy-uppy) where you must keep a ball bouncing within a chaotic, constantly-changing environment, and prevent it from dropping (escaping) down into a hole. Poom is a very challenging, fast-paced arcade game for kids, teens and adults where you maneuver a randomly-generated platform into position so that it keeps a bouncing ball airborne. The platform changes the layout of its tiled structure after each bounce, and you must keep the ball alive for as long as possible.

Reasons to play this unusual, keep-it-up skill game: Sternly exercise your perception skills, hand-eye coordination and reaction speed as you attempt to position the platform in such a way to keep the ball bouncing and under control. Challenge yourself to increase your high score as you become more familiar with the controls and movement.

Strategy and skills to win: Good concentration, visual skills and mouse control are vitally important here. Focus on the core objective of your task – Survive for as many ‘bounces’ as possible. Try to position the platform so that the ball lands on a particularly high-bouncing area. Just allowing the ball to bounce on regular squares won't keep it high enough to succeed for long.

How to Play: A Flash-based, mouse-only skill game of survival for notebook, laptop and desktop PC / Mac (with certain browsers). A silver ball is dropped from the top of the play area, and you must try to keep it airborne by positioning the tile-based platform structure underneath it (The platform moves to the movement of your computer mouse cursor).

Each time your ball bounces on the platform, the platform changes shape. If the ball bounces on the red and white ‘Target’ square, it rebounds much higher than if it bounces on a regular square. Each bounce scores points toward your overall total. If the ball falls through the bottom of the play area, your attempt is over. Click on the game-screen to start your next attempt.

Tip: Keep an eye on the shadow of the ball – this can give you a good idea of where it is going to land.
try and constantly improve your overall top score.
