Suprisingly addicting, this is perhaps the most fun I've had playing a casual game.

After hearing a few good things about this game I decided to look into it. For $20 off Steam I downloaded this crazy looking casual game from PopCap and time flew by. The game is basically pachinko. You shoot a ball from the top and try to clear all the orange pegs by hitting them before you run out of balls. Landing a ball in the moving basket at the bottom of the screen gets you a free ball, and so does scoring enough certain amounts of points. The rather simple game takes at least an hour to get through the "Adventure" mode which teaches you about the 10 characters who each have there very own special power that gets activated when hitting any of the two green pegs in a level. Such powers include the Spooky Ball which falls down the screen twice and the Zen Shot which alters your next shot just a little bit to get the most out of it.

This game will easily suck up more hours and taking up more of your playing time than any of the more serious and hard core games that have come out, or will help tide you over for this springs lack of new games.
