PapiPole 1.1

PapiPole is a very entertaining and addictive game. It is yet another game in the "Papi" series. Those are all incredibly simple games that against all odds manage to be entertaining.

In this game, Mr. Papi (the red ball guy) is on a stick and you have to prevent him to fall from it by balancing the stick. If Mr. Papi falls to the ground, the game will be instantly over. There are cheeseburgers and needle balls that fall from the top of the screen. You get 50 points for every cheeseburger that you touch with Mr. Papi, and you lose a life if you touch a needle ball. Also, you collect points by just staying alive. So, the longer you survive and the more cheeseburgers you collect, the higher your score will be. In paper, this sounds really easy, but although the controls are also easy (you only use the left and right arrow keys), it is complicated to balance Mr. Papi on the stick. To move him around the platform, you have to carefully balance him on one of his sides. After a while, I got confused and made him fall.

In short, this is a very nice game to have to kill some time when you have nothing else to do. You could also compete with friends to see who can survive the longest.
