Protect!

Coolness★★★★★★★★★★17%
I used the UMN VGDC JavaScript library to create this game.
The game only seems to work in Firefox and Google Chrome.
Download the zip and open the html file in order to play.
Try to protect the ball from the arrows as long as you can.

Doesn't seem to work. :( I just see the text, nothing else:

"Move with left/right.
Main Goal: beat level 5.
Ultimate Goal: beat level 10."

Try using Firefox or Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer

I already tried it with both.

Well, it worked for me (and on a Mac) - you should really update this so that there's links to the same file for Mac OS X and Linux, as HTML *is* cross-platform. If anything, I actually found the game too slow, and I would have preferred it to have started faster.

Worked for me. The idea is interesting and the game IS minimal, but you could really use a "mute" button or a better looping music :) And the game is a bit slow unfortunately.

I agree, it's a bit slow: it's not about performance, maybe width mouse interaction for the blue bar and arrows falling faster there's more challenge ;)

Not bad, the comments say there is music, but I don't hear any. Nice basic idea though. I just wish it moved a bit faster. Also I feel like hosting a web version of this on Dropbox would be easier, it seems like it would work fine that way.

Kind of fun, but pretty hard - I had a really hard time making it past level 3. It might be more fun if your paddle could move more quickly - sometimes there was just no way to intercept all the arrows. Nice work, though.

I like the balance between protecting the ball itself and the floor it's rolling on. A bit too simple and moves too slowly, but it definitely works. The music was straight-up arcade cabinet, which is awesome.
