Gameplay is great and Iove the physics in this game. ### 5/5 — Rad *2010-01-01* Awesome game got the full version too ### 1/5 — THREE STARS? WHO PAYS U? *2009-12-10* That's right who is paying you reviewers to rate this junk THREE STARS? This is a one almost 2 star game at it's best. But, since we have only 2 levels to decide it's not really fair to call this game any of the following: Crummy, Slow, Boring, Dull, For the Brain Damaged, Drool Cup Players, 60s Hippy Hold Overs with Flash Backs, Stipid, Get a Life, Die Die Die You Crummy Cheap Skates. No with only two levels to compare it is also not fair to call it these following: Great, Addictive, Challenging, Master Stroke of Grey Matter or lastly SO DAMN GOOD A HUMAN DID NOT INVENT THIS GAME. With two levels we can as these questions. Is the remaining levels worse? Is the reason there are only 2 free levels that there are only 3 levels total? The next levels include a soap box that you speak about political issues of the day or global warming or ARE YOU A COMMIE HOLD OVER FROM THE 90s? Lastly, your so cheap or so egotistical you think that two levels are more than enough for freeloaders like me or that once these two Masterful designed levels will sucker players in by the millions? THE GAME IS OK BUT BORING. YOU CAN WIN VERY EASILY BY SIMPLY FLINING THE BALL AROUND THE CENTER HITTING ALL BALLS ON THE ATTACK. SO how to make better. Good luck suddenly I'm the cheap skate with my mind blowing alien advice. Dave Dude King. ### 1/5 — Bad *2009-12-09* The lite version only has 2 levels and it is not all that great of a game ## Frequently asked questions about Finger Sling LITE ### What is Finger Sling LITE?
