The reason this has a low average score
First off, this is the most addictive game I've played on newgrounds. However, as you can see, it has a very average rating. I assume this is a result of the deceptive labels that are placed on the difficulty levels you must choose at the start of the game. The levels are labeled 'beginner', 'amateur', 'expert', and 'master' (naturally, most will choose beginner or amateur). But the only difference between the levels is the speed of the puck, thus the game is quite tedious and boring at beginner or amateur, only becoming fun at expert or master. And really, faster doesn't necessarily mean harder at all... faster just means, well, faster. So if the levels were labeled something along the lines of 'snail', 'yawn', 'fast', 'fierce', I suspect the game would be getting much higher scores. All in all, at the higher levels, it's the best game I've played here
