I mean, that’s pretty much it. I did exactly what it says in the title. 𒁏Thank you for coming.

Okay, I’ll expand a bit. is a ridiculous game, and that’s the point. It’s all about replicating those silly TikToks you see of someone bouncing a 🌊ping-pong ball off pots and pans into a plastic cup or throwing a playing card at high speed so that it lands perfectly inside a clip.

It’s simple. It’s pointless. It’s genius.

All The Attempts Without The Effort

Let’s admit it: we all w𒉰ant to try those trick shots when we see those videos. We wonder just how difficult they could actually be, maybe even falsely assume we could 💟do it, and think about how much fun it looks. But nobody wants to pull the kitchenware from the cabinets and bulk order a bag of ping-pong balls. It’s probably fun, but I’m not picking up a whole deck of cards only to find that one is stuck under the fridge.

That’s where Video Games™ come in; with Trick Shot Simulator, I spent an hour and 16 minutes rolling over 2,500 marbles along a table, trying to get just one of them to land on the central dot of a fifth side of a dice. The best part of this wasn’t the sat▨isfaction of finally achieving it, nor the joy of that oh-so-long hour, but the fact that I didn’t have to pick up 2,500 marﷺbles afterward. I’d rather just leave them on the ground and go on living my life in a room designed by Kevin McCallister.

One Of Those Wonderful, Thoughtless Games

I then went on to throw 300 ping-pong balls at a cup, 1,000 coat hangers at a pole, and 1,100 playing cards at a table, and the hours just rolled on by. I could probably be doing other things with my time, but what if the next throw is the one? And then why don’𒐪t I just takeಌ a quick look at the next level?

It’s such a simple game, and it has a good few levels to work your way through - and atꦛ this rate, it’s going to take me dozens of hours to clear them all, let alone set any records. With some of them, I look at the level pictures and already dread them. Moving contraptions and consecutive tricks? I might slowly🃏 grow more numb as the hours roll by, but at least I’ll be relaxed. Mostly.

For £5 and a very basic premise, it’s a fantastic little title to add to your Steam library and play for a few minutes hours at a time. I’m not❀ sponsored by Trick Shot Simulator (unless they would likeꦛ to call me), so I’ll give you this for free: play it. It’s brilliant.
