Our take on Overlay Balls & Mouse Tails
The scoring system may be the first sticking point: players have to discover which balls award points through hitting or dribbling, and some award none. Those expecting a clear progression beyond that interaction may find the mini-game's scope narrow.
What is Overlay Balls & Mouse Tails?
This mini-game lets players add balls to the screen, then score points by hitting or dribbling them; which balls award points depends on the ball type.
Mouse-cursor trails can be customized with different appearances, and an optional clock can be placed above other windows with adjustable font, color, size, and position. The game can optionally start when Windows launches and pause automatically while a game or application is in full-screen mode. The vendor notes that the trails and particle effects are more visible against dark themes than light backgrounds.
