Throw Me Throw Me has a simple objective: the player has to throw the game's weird eyeball protagonist as far and as high as possible.

In the first part of the game, a locked box is shown, with the game's eyeball character inside. Upon unlocking the box with a mouse-click, the player will have to swing around the character, in order to get momentum, and release it to throw it.

After being thrown, the characters flight can only be altered by pressing space, which gives a slight height boost by inflating a few balloons the character has. This can only be repeated only until the character's stamina runs out, indicated in a bar at the top. Certain objects will influence the flight, as certain clouds will speed up the character, while thunderstorms and wrecking balls will a trigger a small mini-game, in which a bar moves rapidly up and down: as player presses space depending on the height of the bar, the character will receive a greater boost, sending it flying higher and faster.

At the end of the game, a high-score can be submitted, based on the maximum height and distance traveled. [source:mobygames]
