I used to think I was pretty well coordinated. At least when it came to fun on line games. I pretty much thought I could control a ball or an icon or a car or something. But then I discovered Gyroball and all my confidence was shattered! But at the same time I saw that I was really enjoying myself.
In Gyroball you are the ball. And the ball is placed on something that looks a bit like a skateboard rank or something. What you have to do is maneuver the ball up and down the bumps on the grid until you get to the end. I have to admit (although I am a bit embarrassed to say this) it took me many, many games until I managed to gain any sort of control over the ball. While I enjoyed the music, I often put the game on silent as it seemed to just frustrate me even more. And I found that the more I concentrated on my moving of the ball around the grid thing, the more successful I was. What I found most difficult was getting the ball to turn a corner. I also found that (after a while of trial and a whole lot of error) that the slower I went, the steadier I became. It was like I was learning to walk again, except I wasn't, I was trying to move a ball around a grid! There are 5 levels (not that I have yet made it past level 1) and you get a minute before your time is up if you do not get anywhere in the first level. So I'm not quite sure what happens after you do progress beyond level 1, since I've not managed to get past it myself! I think Gyroball is a great game for anyone who loves addicting puzzle games and is up for a REAL challenge!
