Pretty great idea with a lot of potential. Like Eternal_Rest, I wish it lacked the waiting intervals. I'd enjoy it more if it was more fast paced and changed to another game immediately after losing one. Minor nitpicks aside, 'twas fun.
I kept losing the balls because my mouse was in the wrong place as the 20 seconds ticked down. Losing balls quickly combined with the occasional 20 seconds of indended nothing meant about 70% of the time I was doing absolutely nothing feeling quite frustrated :(
I like idea of doing something new every 20 seconds, but the implementation was off, too much waiting around.
Neat idea, and a whole slew of games in one! The transitions between games can be rather abrupt. I'd often watch in despair as the game changed suddenly and the ball for the new game went sailing off into the void.
This is great! I got 360 points. Waiting is fine, people are wimps :)
I would like you to set up google analytics if you haven't already: I'd like to know how long people spend on the game. Also, world-wide leader board please.
Something else that's neat about this game is that later, you could implement more mini-games and throw them in without telling anyone. Only the most patient players would be able to discover the truth.
I got bored of waiting and decided to just go negative score. Got like 3 achievements. Kind of ok, not exactly original until I got to the 4 pong paddle bits. The sounds were ok but some music would be nice

The waiting was pretty much inspired by the XKCD comic #1190 (Time). But you are probably right, too much waiting for a game.
@Tyro: That's a great idea. switching to another game after losing all balls. I should have implemented it that way.

Did you ever play VESPER5?
Good suggestion, I've added GA to the page.
World-wide leader board would take a while. It's all client side at the moment so it would be easy to cheat by submitting fake scores.
I was planning to add more games but ran out of time. But more games can be added and I probably will once the judging has ended.
Haven't even heard about VESPER5 until now, but that game is much more extreme about waiting :)
@cahman
smoother transitions is something I wanted to do and might add later
Also, in case no one has realized: Every 250 points the amount of balls increases. (In the pong-like games only after you lost all your balls)
And so humor lol.
