Zwingo is my latest game - for the MaxGames game competition (ending soon). Big thanks to Deseo for making the music especially for this game :) Visit Deseo's site please:

Swing ('zwing') your ball around using the mouse, smashing all the black balls of screen. Your aim is to protect the white ball in the centre. If the white ball leaves the boundary, it's game over. Every 10 levels you'll face a boss that you have to continually hit until he runs out of health and goes off screen.

As you hit each ball out you gain experience points (xp). The harder you hit the ball, the more xp you collect. At the end of each level you can spend this xp on one or more of four upgrades - size, speed, white ball size and boundary area. You'll need to upgrade to face faster, bigger balls and make it all the way past level 50 to pass the game.

The overall score is calculated as the total xp you collected throughout the game. Thanks to Armorbot for the highscore table. Also, the game has a save feature that lets you come back and play from the same level you left another time.

This was a great game! Very addictive and fun!

The graphics were pretty plain and simple, but it is a simplistic game at heart, and unique at that. I haven't played a lot of games like this. I loved the extra features and power ups as you go on, that always makes a game feel longer and adds a bit of an incentive to play.

Bosses were a nice touch, but a little too boring after you've fought a few. Maybe a larger variety of bosses could have helped - keep that in mind if you intend to make a sequel.

The save feature was nice. You don't see it in games like this enough, so it was nice to see.

Overall, you've created an addicting and entertaining game. Great job! 9/10
