Beachball Control which can be found in the Games2Go website does not have that much do with beaches apart from the ball and the fish you are trying to avoid. For some reason I was expecting a kind of volley ball game but that could just have been my misconception. The game is very simple and sweet but difficult to control.
Basically the aim of the game is to try and save the entire star fish i.e. hit them without being hit by a moving fish or object. It sounds simple enough but controlling the ball is not as easy as it seems at first . By using the arrows you can move the ball up and down backwards and forwards. All along you have to remember that it is a ball and can have some erratic bouncing that you can't always control.
There are starfish dotted around the screen which you need to try and hit with different barriers in the way in addition to the moving fish. You are working against a time limit of 70 seconds per game and given 3 lives. A life is lost when you hit a fish and the ball explodes and you go back to the beginning but the number of stars you have already saved remains. If you succeed in each level, you are given an extra life and more time in addition to going up a level which becomes harder as you go. This is a cute game and one for people with good coordination skills, not something that I can rave about though!
