Before all the game problems a few months earlier, I would easily score 4000+ on Volcano Run, and could play Zurroball for a half hour before messing up. Recently, its not so easy. Both games are jerky and hard to control. Plus, I still dont see text on Meerca Chase I (Though admittedly I stopped playing it a couple weeks ago, because it was too frustrating with the jerkyness.)
On IE, Volcano Run seems 'floaty,' kind of like the controls are delayed, so that when I release the mouse button, the Scorchio will continue to fly up for another half second. Sometimes I'll release the mouse button, and he'll keep flying up until he hits the ceiling and dies. On Firefox, Volcano Run moves at unexpected rates, hindering gameplay. Sometimes it will run smoothly, then out of nowhere, it will freeze for a second, and then start moving again. Then freeze, then move, over and over. Its gotten to a point where Im used to the jerkyness, and have learned to compensate. But its still annoying to do everything right, and run into a flame because the game froze for a split second.
Zurroball is terrible. It has jerky gameplay as well, which is even harder to compensate for when trying to do grounders. To play that game well, you need to have a rhythm with the clicks, and thats impossible if the stupid Grundoball freezes up for even a half second before dropping. I used to be able to score 7000, now Im lucky to get 340.
Also, on TROTRODS, the game goes okay with minimal problems, but after I send my score, the NP goes through, but I have to click completely out of the window to start a new game. The link that would normally let you click and start isnt there. Just some jumbled numbers with all text missing. The movement during the game also get progressively slower, especially if I play with all the special effects on, but since I get the max 1000NP fairly quickly, its only bothersome when Im bored and feel like playing for fun.
Ive stopped playing a lot of games because they're all jerky or completely freeze up. Ive tried shutting down all my windows and playing, Ive tried different browsers, I've closed all unnecessary things running in the background, but theres still a problem. We bought my computer in 2004, I run virus scans every week, and though my computer isnt brand new or top of the line, its not crap.
Other games I play that share the jerkyness/slowdown problem are Bouncy Supreme, Ice Cream Machine, Wack-A-Kass, Turmac Roll, Meerca Chase II, and Pterattack. These were the core games I used to play, but dont anymore because I get frustrated. I used to be good at them and they were my favorites and everything, and now Id have to struggle through them.
