LightSprites - Today's Time Waster

The Time Waster you are about to meet is good for two reasons: one, it has a happy melody that repeats in the background as cheerful characters dance for you, and two, it serves as an interesting challenge that will test your aim and sense for distance.In LightSprites, although you can't technically "lose" the game, you will have a significantly lower score for missing targets or shooting the wrong ones. Here is what happens: you control little "orbs" in the clouds and shoot them at the scenery that's scrolling along below. The scenery has colored targets - match the orb with its target to get points. If you hit all the targets on say, a hill, for example, you will get a bonus. And this keeps going until all the targets are gone. Then repeat and see if you can beat your score.
If the easy mode starts getting boring, try higher difficulties and the challenge mode for more targets and harder color combinations. Once you've played this game long enough you'll realize one good side effect: the cheery music and graphics will put you in a great mood to go back and do some work.

That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
