As if we all needed another time waster

In the vast wasteland of to-do lists it is good to take a break now and then. Particularly for something cute. Thus, my submission of a Japanese airhockey game with tiny round chickens. The text is in Japanese, (Andi, can you tell me if it says anything earth shattering?) but that didn't stop me from just clicking whatever I was shown until I was eventually taken to the game. The game itself is a fun little thing. I was surprised how well my (small adorable) opponent reacted to the puck. Though he wasn't a totally awesome player, his responses were as natural as they could be, I suppose. When he is scored upon, he looks up in surprise and says something I can only imagine would be along the lines of, "By the beard of Odin! You have scored upon this humble poultry!"

My only complaint about the game is that occasionally there's a collision detection problem if you move your "puck hitter" (what is that thing called?) too quickly. Then the puck can slide right by. Mostly, I have to give the little game props, though.

Ow. Brain is fried. Goodnight.

Nothing particularly earth shattering...generic (cute) expressions of frustration when you score on him. His/Her name is Hiyoko-chan (I'm guessing a boy, though, by how he talks)
