Pendulum Game 0.8

Hello everyone! I have written a new game where the object is to swing a pendulum around on a rubber band. If you swing too fast, the band breaks. You must hit the targets quickly to gain combos, and a periodic bonus will drop. If you have the elastic fully tensioned, you will earn more points but be more likely to break the rubber band.

Have fun!

Interesting concept :slight_smile:

Very original, slightly addicitive, yet so simple. Good job.

I’m running on Java 6 b56

Neat idea, but needs more stuff. Right now it seems like just a demo, not a real game. And what’s with the ‘Golden Game Engine’ screen? Can’t you disable that crap? :stuck_out_tongue:
