Throwball

Game File: 

Click on the ball to pick up; drag and release to throw. The playfield is mostly protected with glass - only a few select regions are bare, in which you can pick up and manipulate the ball.

The inspiration for this was several different of toys I knew when I was young - in particular, a mechanical game where two players squirt air into a water-filled playfield to push a plastic ball through their goal ring, in mimickry of basketball. And, of course, there's a bit of Windosill in this.

I'm not sure if it's due to Wine or if it was intentional on your part, but the framerate is rather slow (feels between 20-30 FPS). It's slow enough that I am able to cheat by quickly swiping the mouse from one free region to another in order to bypass walls and such.

(I did not use this cheat to complete the game)

I uploaded a new version

I uploaded a new version with less slowdown.

The throw speed seemed very inconsistent, which made it pretty frustrating.
