Some People Are Just Sick

The title is French, so I don’t know what it says…: This is the most wretchedly horrible Flash game I’ve ever seen. The instructions are in French, so you probably can’t read them, but about two seconds into playing it, I promise you’ll be saying something like, “What kind of sick jerk made this up?”

In the lower left-hand corner there is a British flag. Click it to change to the better^H^H^H^H^H^H English language. Of course, the point of the whole game is just to see how long you'll keep...

22 seconds. I still think it's sick.

I took me about 3 minutes to figure out how the game worked -- I am not sure what that says about me.

43.433 seconds (after 5 or 6 games!) It is horribl(ly addictive)e. One thing they could do to make it even tougher is have the ramp tilt in the opposite direction that the paddle moves. That'd be truly evil.
