We find it hard to get excited about a screensaver with a one-minute trial period, particularly one this conceptually simple. As promised, the application displays a number of bouncy, colorful balls of differing sizes on your screen. As you might expect from such a simple program, Elastic Balls doesn't offer breathtakingly modern graphics, although the balls themselves look good enough. Still, a soundtrack would help spice things up. This screensaver isn't highly customizable, but you can determine how many balls appear onscreen and how quickly they move. However, as we previously mentioned, the action stops after 60 seconds, which is hardly enough time to evaluate the program. Also, a demo this short won't protect against display burn-in, which is one of the functional purposes of a screensaver. We've seen worse ways to decorate your desktop than Elastic Balls, but we've also seen better.

I was looking for screensaver to amuse my cats and this one is terrific! You can specify the number of balls on the screen and the speed.

15$ is quite a lot for one screen saver.

Pros
A perfect screensaver, it is simple and does not hurt my eyes, with a over complicated graphics, to watch it. <p>It does not make any noises, so I could install it on my office PC.
Cons
I wish I could set my own balls' color.
