Effing Hail!

Friday Afternoon Game: Decimate cities with the power of ice and wind!

We know you're thinking "But it isn't Friday yet!", but the reason for that is that we won't be around to post it tomorrow - Good Friday!

Luckily you're not going to miss out on our Friday Afternoon stuff (and in case you missed last week's, here's a linky), so we've found a game that is so delightfully entertaining that we figured was worth a share.

You control a gust of wind (mysteriously emitted from your cursor) that is pointing upwards - your goal is to maintain pieces of hail so that they accumulate other pieces and grow in size, eventually becoming massive.

Then you unleash the hail fury upon lots of different targets, from cities to airplanes, kept amused by the trance music in the background.

Give it a go!

Atomic Quest: We managed to create a single piece of hail at 60m (that grew to 61m before impact) - can you best our giant ball of ice and prove it with a screenshot? If so, post below, and win the admiration of your peers and countrymen!

Re-constructing my death ball.

70m is the best I've got so far. Who knew fondling balls til they grow would be so easy?
