Remember the classic arcade game Marble Madness? If you enjoyed the frustration that is trying to guide a ball along a 3D course using an isometric view, without falling off the arbitrary edges, just like in Marble Madness, you'll probably enjoy
Gyroball.
As you might be able to tell, I find Gyroball frustrating. The first few levels are fairly straightforward, but on the third or fourth level, I was completely stymied. It started driving me nuts. I'm sure many of you long-time timewaster players will cruise right through that level without a second look, but for whatever reason I just couldn't get the right combination of direction, momentum and control.
The game controls are dead simple - use your direction arrows to push the ball in various directions. Of course, because the game is presented in an isometric 3D display, the arrow keys do not correspond with the direction that your ball will typically be traveling; the ball is mostly going in diagonals, requiring multiple button presses at the same time, or very quickly alternating between two.
If your frustration tolerance is high, this game could be played for an extended period. Otherwise, it makes a nice, short time waster between tasks.

弹道魔球－Time Waster
来自: Fun, Games, Kids, Freeware, Time-Wasters, Web
还记得经典的街机游戏疯狂弹球吗？在三维等距视图中操纵魔球，避免使其从边缘掉落，玩法与疯狂弹球类似，如果你敢于挑战这样的困难，那么你肯定就会喜欢上玩弹道魔球的。 正如你可能会说玩陀螺球会让人有挫败感，我发现事实确实如此。前几关是相当简单的，但到了第三或第四关，我完全无法通关。它开始令我着迷。我敢肯定很多长期玩timewaster游戏的人会快速而平稳地过关，而不需要多看一眼，但不管是什么原因 我总是不能将方向、动力和操纵完美结合。 游戏操纵是非常简单的－用方向键推动球进入不同的方向。当然，因为游戏是在等距三维显示器里显示，方向键与球通常滑动的方向不一致；球多半是沿对角线滑动，需要同时按多个按键，或者在两者之间快速转换。 如果你的能力很强，你就可以在游戏任务规定时间结束以后，继续让魔球滚动，否则的话，就会刷出一个短时间的游戏记录。
