SwipeBall-21

You know that feeling when you're supposed to be doing expense reports but instead you're watching a real model in black lingerie do that thing with her hip where the strap slips just a little? That's where I'm at. This game is basically SwipeBall crossed with Blackjack, which sounds like someone threw darts at a board of ideas but somehow it works. You swipe a ball to knock another ball, and the numbers on the pushed out ones add up. Hit 21, she loses a piece. Hit anything else and... well, you still get to watch her stand there looking disappointed in your math skills. The model they used actually has this expression like she's mildly annoyed to be here, which honestly makes it better. Not in a weird way. Just that bored look when you bust on 22 for the third time and she's still in her bra. I spent way too long trying to get the exact angle on a swipe, the physics are floaty in that mobile game way where you're never quite sure if the ball will go where you want. Reminds me of those old Flash games we weren't supposed to play in computer lab, except now I'm in my thirties and nobody can stop me from looking at pixelated cleavage during work hours. The blackjack part is straightforward, numbers 1 through whatever on the balls, you're doing addition in your head while trying to also pay attention to the striptease happening in the background. It's like being back in math class if the teacher was slowly unbuttoning her shirt every time you got a problem right. The lingerie set is nice, nothing groundbreaking, black lace situation. She does this little turn when you win, the animation is janky but in that charming way where you can tell someone actually tried. I don't know why I keep playing. The music loops after like forty seconds and it's burned into my brain now. My boss walked by and I had to alt-tab so fast I think I pulled something. Worth it? The game doesn't save progress so every time you reload she's fully dressed again, which feels like a metaphor for something but I'm too tired to figure out what.
