This game is very good at occupying you for about three days. After that, you forget either forget about it, delete it, or smash your calc for not being able to beat the AI ;).

Graphics: 9/10

Nothing extraordinary about them, but nothing bad either. However, the ball does sometimes seem invisible when it is going top speed.

Gameplay: 8/10

As I said, the ball sometimes goes too fast. Also, the ball occasionally ignores the slime and hits the floor right through the slime (this is one way I beat the AI).

Single-Player AI: 7/10

There are two choices: either you smash your calc because the AI seems invincible or you fall asleep because the AI is so freakin' easy (I fall into the latter of the two categories).

Multi-Player: 9/10

It's nice to be able to play 2-player on one calc, but Gordon has an advantage over Walter because the arrow keys are located closer together than the number keys 1,3, and 5.

Overall: 8.25/10

A pretty good game which needs some improvements.

I love this game... It is really fun and addictive. One thing I would add is the ability to hook it up with other calculators and play two-player. Other than that, though, “TI Slimeball” is great. My friends at school and I play it all the time like in a tournament thing. Oh, one other thing is after a while it's pretty easy to beat Gordon (the computer). Over all though, I'd give it a 9/10.

This game is a clone of the Internet game "Slime Volleyball," but it doesn't quite hold my interest the way the Internet version does. Gameplay is smooth and fast, but it's incredibly frustrating that the “up” button is the jump key; it makes it very difficult to jump and move at the same time. Also, the ball moves too fast and hits the top of the screen nearly every bounce, which takes most of the "volleyball" part out of “slime volleyball.” Graphics are good, but the opening screen and ending seem lacking somehow (not that it matters much). What I would recommend for the author to do to improve this game would be to slow down the ball and give it a flatter trajectory, make [2nd] the jump key, and maybe add more levels to lengthen the game a little bit.

Overall, this game is good for three minutes of fun now and then, so definitely download it if you want that kind of game. Just don't expect it to hold your attention for much longer than that.

“TI Slimeball” is possibly my favorite calculator game. Single-player is great and an impressive approximation of the “Slimeball” game playable on the Internet, but where “TI Slimeball” really shines is in its two-player mode (on one calculator- no link cable required). The ball physics are very good, though there is a minor glitch that sometimes sees the ball sink into your slime slightly, but this doesn't even come close to spoiling the game.

Graphics: Good.
Addictiveness: Very high.
Lastability: Single-player- High; Multiplayer- Excellent.
Stability: Problem free as far as I know.
Speed/Framerate: Very good.
AI: Good.
Gameplay: Excellent.
Overall score: Single-player- 9/10; Multi-player- 9.5/10

Last word: Great Single-player, excellent Multi-player. Get it!

“TI-Slimeball” has to be the most addicting fun pointless game ever: bouncing blobs playing volleyball. Even though it sounds boring, once you start playing, you will be hooked. Games can be short or long, depending on your skill. If you know the secret, you can score on the computer every time he serves within one hit. This game has never crashed my calculator. “TI-Slimeball” is a must have!

If you have ever played “SlimeBall” on the Internet, then you will love this game! I must admit that I am not very good at this game, but it is fun nonetheless. The controls are very easy to use, and the ball follows a nice curved trajectory. My congratulations go out to the author.

Overall 8/10

If this game looks foolish or boring to you, you don’t know what you’re talking about. I thought it too when I first looked at it, but after convincing myself to try it, I loved it. You play as a slime and use just the arrow keys to move: “Up” causes the slime to jump. and “left” and “right” move you back and forth. It is a very addictive game, and the AI is pretty good. This one surprised me, so start downloading now, you must have this game =)
10/10

This is an excellent game. It’s much better than the Java version you can play on the Web. TI Slimeball has very smooth gameplay and simple, but effective, graphics. It's really addictive! I can't stop playing TI Slimeball. It is a must-have and must-keep.
