Check this out! Cool 3D action game uses Havok physics for gameplay!

Check this out! It's a pretty cool game using the Havok engine for physics to implement the puzzles. Very cool!!!

You can download the full 18 level ( 7Mb ) version from...

http://www.candogames.com/ballsup

It allows you to play 10 times, and then you have to wait for 3 minutes before you can play after that. It runs on Windoze 95/98/2000/ME/XP and required a P2/400 + 3D card ( even a petrol powered machine should run it! ).

This is one of the first games to utilise Shockwave 3D in a commercial environment.

All comments / suggestions are welcome...

Haven't you harked this to us before?

(Thats rhetorical)

I had mentioned about an online demo of an earlier prototype of the game that had a "Barrys World" level.

This is now the full, final 18 level version of Episode 1, with a lot of gameplay enhancements etc.

Have you tried it out yet? It's quite a cool game!

A good 3D graphics card is recommended.

How good is good? I.e. will my V3 3000 crumple and melt under the strain?

 

[Pfy]

Looks quite cool. Haven't given it a proper play as the machines here at work are heaps of shit. Will defo give it a go when I get home, gj!

A 1Mb RageProLT and above will work fine.

[caLLous]

Heh, not quite good then.

It looks good, thanks for the update.

 

[mank!]

Played it, didn't get past second level. I suck

Nice game mind

 

[Summo]

I'm on level 11. I thought there were only 10 in the demo. It's sucking my evening away... :/

 

[old.malachyduffin]

There are 18 levels in total!

Sounds like you're having fun with it!!!

Have you tried it in crazy speed mode yet? It rocks!!!

Mal

 

[Summo]

Hah! You're kidding! I'm having a tough enough time on level 11, thanks.

This game is good. I'm scared to close the window because there's no way I can start back at the beginning.

Its come a long way since it was first posted on this board.

 

[old.malachyduffin]

You can load the level directly by clicking on the level icon in the title screen.

Test it out by pressing the Quit button in game, and you'll see that all the available levels are available to load immediately.

[Summo]

Yeah, but if I close the window completely presumably I'll have to start back at the beginning? I'm too scared to try...

Stu is gh3y.

Incorporate Bruce Lee then this game will be perfect.

 

[granny]

And Natalie Portman's nipples.

 

[caLLous]

A clipping glitch?

Fucking grrr at this level btw.

 

[old.malachyduffin]

There was an unresolvable issue with that level in particular, about every 30'th time playing it, the Havok collision routines wouldn't kick in!

Resetting the level will fix the problem... I mean feature!

[caLLous]

Summo, did you finish 11 yet? I just died taking the green ball back to the container.

It's filling me with murderous rage.

 

[Damini]

Hate hate hate.




Stuck on level two. And I'm beginning to snarl.

 

[caLLous]

It can consider itself minimised until further notice.

 

[caLLous]

Haha! Level 11, you're going down!

 

[old.malachyduffin]

Looks like you're getting the hang of it!

What do you think of the difficulty level?

We created the levels to ease the player into controlling the ship, and later levels can be frustrating but addictive.

 

[Summo]

Can't argue with that. Difficulty level seems just right.

 

[Perplex]

Breezed through lvl 11 first time. Level 12 however is a pain in the arse. Every time I put a boulder on the conveyor belt it falls onto the other belt and goes back to the start place before I have a chance to stop it :/ Suppose I have to make sure I go on the belt first huh :/

 

[Perplex]

Level 12 done, now that was tricky. Level 13 looks like hell

 

[caLLous]

Level 12 was a whore, 13 looked much harder than it was, 14 I did first time, and 15 has bombs.

 

[mank!]

I didn't get past level 2

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

I liked the way it got harder by just increasing the number of graphical glitches until I couldn't see what was going on heh
