Try to beat the legendary champion Woody at this game of pétanque.

Pétanque is a French game played with metal balls.
The players throw their balls in turn, trying to get as close as possible to the jack, the small one called 'cochonet' in French.

Two to four players can enter a game. Each player can be played as Human or Computer.

When controled by the computer:
- Robert is the weakest one
- Adriana is pretty good
- Woody is not willing to play with you yet, you'll need to unlock him

You can choose to play with either 2 or 3 balls.

How to throw the ball:
Grab the ball and hold it by keeping the mouse button down.
Move your mouse in the direction you want to throw the ball, as if the mouse was the ball itself, release the button to throw the ball.

Try to keep the mouvement very smooth, then you will feel as if you were really throwing a ball, and will forget you are even playing a computer game.

Have fun!

"Wow, addictive!"

This game is really good! Fine graphics, fantastic gameplay and very VERY addictive.
The only problem is that the cursor leaves the box xD

Is there a chance that this will be fixed? A download or something?

Author's Response:

I believe the cursor can leave the box if the throwing mouvement you make is very wide, therefore throwing the ball much too far, which wouldn't make a good shot anyway.
If this does happen even though you seem to throw a regular one, let me know. Thanks.

Author's Response:

Salut, si je suis francais. Non il n'y aura pas de tutorial, en fait je ne compte pas faire de modifs, alors c'est un petit jeu tout simple et ca restera comme ca.
Juste pour 'pointer ou tirer', c'est vrai que tu ne peux pas ajuster la hauteur de la courbe, mais rien ne t'empeche de viser la boule, donc tu peux tirer. Et l'ordinateur lui aussi tire quand une boule le gene.
Merci
Romain
