Relax your thoughts and the ball will descend.

Saw this on T.V. and figured this was going to be big for Christmas gifts. I now have mine and I can’t wait to give it to my grandson at Christmas.

This game was featured at comicon in San Diego this summer. The kids did not have time to stand in line to try it
although they really wanted to try it. Since I buy a game each year for them, it seemed the perfect gift.

I think this is more of a biofeedback machine than any sort of game. You only control how high the ball rises and lowers (the pressure of the air stream). Moving it around the ring and through the obstacles is done by turning the knob on the base. Takes a ton of batteries, makes a lot of noise, and some times seems more off in it’s readings than it’s on. Seems to work backwards for a friend of mine (concentrating lowers the ball instead of raising it). Interesting for about 30 minutes and you probably won’t use it again. Lots of small and fragile plastic parts for the obstacle course. The different “games” aren’t really all that different. Worth about $30 rather than the $80 they want for it.

I’m trying to get one for my 5 yr old for christmas. Why is it over a hundred dollars more on amazon?

It is a very interesting game. It is a “laboratory” or “prototype” to develop new products. I can see soon application of this type of “toy” in functionality to help people with disabilities. I would love to be engaged on this type of project.
