The new Chrome browser comes with integrated Adobe Flash player. You Tube, being Google's own and one of the major websites using the Flash Player plugin became the natural choice for show off.
The name of this new 'Video' game is Fastball - A Race Across the Internet . The objective of the game is simple. Get the shiny ball to the end of an obstacle course. Though the objectives may seem simple, let me warn you, the obstacles aren't so. Those newbies on the internet might find it a bit confusing.
The game is set in 5 stages or obstacles - Map Lap, Tour de Twitter, Translate Time Trial, The Last.fm 500 and Search Grand Prix. These stages features (of course ) Google Maps, Twitter, Google Translate, Last fm and Google Search respectively.
The games stages are actually a set of 6 You Tube video players that slide by as the game progresses. At the interval between the players, a gap appears where the obstacle question comes up. Complete the task soon to continue with the video. At the you get the ball to the winners podium and the ball turns round to reveal the Chrome logo.
Here is the finishing Video:
Even though this game is meant to highlight the speed of You Tube in Chrome, it works well all browsers. I myself played it in Opera.
So guys check out the game here. Lets see if anyone can break my record, that is 02:57. Heres how I did it.
