Timing-based puzzler Super Beat Ball sees you controlling a strafing ball, tapping to fire it forward past the assortment of evil moving objects in front of you.
Speed is encouraged because your points deplete over time, although this feels like you're being punished for going slowly, not rewarded for going fast.
And in any case, all momentum soon dissipates thanks to the crippling difficulty.
Eventually, the hours of perpetual failure make Super Beat Ball feel like hitting your head against a brick wall. And it's not much more fun than that either.
