I've been under the weather for several days, so I'm taking a break from posting any reviews over the next few days or so; I'll still moderate, but sporadically. Todays' game I'd already posted last month.

Falco Ball 3D:

In Brief:
Falco Ball 3D was created by the developers own game engine. It's never been given away here before, but I have seen it elsewhere over the years.

It's a simple game where you have to keep the ball up in the air for as long as you can. Click on the lower part of the ball using the left mouse button by placing the red reticule correctly to make it bounce, then keep clicking on the same spot to keep it from hitting the ground. If it hits the ground, you lose and have to press R to restart the game.

Each round scores the number of times you 'kick' the ball and how long you kept the ball in the air. Your best score is kept as a record; however, this isn't permanent. whenever you restart the game after leaving the best score is reset to zero.

Conclusion:
There's is very limited game play, with just the one thing to keep doing over and over trying to get your best score. It's okay as a coffee break game, but not one I'd play for extended periods. It's something I'd play in between bigger and more involved games just to take a break. There's little skill involved once you've sussed where to place the reticule on the lower part of the football.

My Screen capture programs (Ashampoo Snap 12 and Microsoft's Snipping Tool} would not allow me to take any screen captures so I took some from the video I've linked to above and which was originally posted by Falcoware.

The game could be improved with some additional tasks added; it could also be a game the family could play for short periods where you compete to see who can get the best score. This would be much improved if you could also keep a permanent record of the top score and include a profile page where the whole family and friends could sign in and keep a record of their individual scores, much like I used to do with friends when playing various pinball games like 3d Ultra Pinball: Creep Night & 3d Ultra Pinball: Thrill Ride. We'd spend all night taking turns, trying to beat each other's scores, then ride into work regretting staying up all night (:em>I worked as a motorcycle courier at the time for Pony Express). You can get both of those pinball games for free from various abandonware sites such as My Abandonware.

Notes on Security
I scanned a zipped copy of the installed game using Virus Total and it found zero hits from 51 antimalware engines. You can see the installed games scan HERE
