Very nice :stuck_out_tongue: I love the way this is all coming together.

Just a sugestion put an index.html on your www.digitalrain.org directory. It could be blank or you could put one with your logo. Jeff

Hi,

two things to complain:

a) It’s rrrreeeaaalllyyy slow on my mini.
b) I can’t see any twirl due to 9200er… :O/

Maybe i should eat some mushrooms instead?! ;O)

Regards,

taumel complains a lot doesn’t he?

Looks great on my system, very cool effect visually and thematically.

I was wondering, is there a way to control the camera angle independantly of the stroke direction? There was a point where I was about to put one in the hole, but to line up with the hole the camera’s view was blocked by one of the columns. I’m not familiar with the game or controls so I wasn’t sure how to manage.

This looks like a great game, it feels really well fleshed out, good job.

I could also complain about that you complain about me complaining… ;O)

Thanks for the feedback everyone. We are still workng out the final controls and such. What do you guys think about the arrows only controls? Should we also have mouse movement?

Cheerio!

I would appreciate mouse movement!

It looks great guys - just one problem I was having - when I got my ball in the flaming hole (I assume this is where I was supposed to go) the hole didn’t end or tell me my score or anything. I just sat in the hole and it waited for me to move around (even though there was nowhere to go).
Also, I think mouse movement would be fine, but the buttons worked alright for me!

Well he’s right. It’s slow, and it the twirl doesn’t work for us 9200ers. Screenshot?

Also, the slowness impedes on aiming, rather difficult to that when flickering left and right. Though very pretty :slight_smile:

I always prefer mouse movement, but I’d suggest at least applying acceleration to the keys if nothing else. So you could nudge a tiny amount, and not get a big turn unless you hold the key down. As it is now, I find it hard to move the aim arrow “just a little.”

Really cool game regardless!

i agree. tiny nudges are tough.

looking sweet though and cool effect.
