The game Star Fling has a really simple premise. You are orbiting a star. You can click and fling an inert ball at the planetary orbit of the next star, and if you hit it, you are then orbiting the second star and can fling at the third. How many stars can you hit?
The caveat is that the game is over as soon as you miss, but you can start a new game quickly. And you will have to restart a few times before you figure it out. Yeah, a missed shot "falls" to the ground, but hey, it's just a game. I honestly hit eight stars once, but I can't prove it. Those who know say that it's slower and easier on a mobile device, and I was playing on a desktop. Also, I didn't want to play all day before I posted this, so rest assured that you can beat my score if you fool around with this for a while. I found that getting a screenshot of the action was impossible, so all I can show you is my score. I'd like to see the finished star pattern of someone who hit many more stars. -via Metafilter
