[Finished game] GRAVIBALLS -blend inside

Game Engine Finished Games
#1

Hi

I finished my little game “Graviballs”. I think the current state is fine, time to move on to another project…

The game concept resembles the good old “pong” and can be played with 2 players or just alone (who might win? your left or your right hand? :evilgrin: new: computer opponent for single play; toggles the left player to ai; you need to start with fireing the first ball though)

If you had fun with it or have some comments, I would be happy to get your replies. :yes:

The game requires Blender 2.49b! It is not 2.5 or 2.6 compatible, so you will need to get Blender 2.49b from http://download.blender.org/release/ in order to play the game for now.

DOWNLOAD v1.1 with single-player support (2.6mb)

Wow, nice work. You should put put some more “space” in the environment and put 2d stars and nebula clouds (as 2d images)… Just add more environment, looks bland with that text there. Other then that 4 outa 5 stars for small games.

I didn’t want to overload it and keep the focus on the game…

glad someone likes it :spin: thx for your comment.

Not only is this a really cool idea for a game with the gravity ball attraction but it is in fact the best BGE game I have ever played by a LONG shot. Worlds more fun than yo frankie imo (considering I thought yo frankie was boring as hell). This game however is a totally original concept, perfectly executed, and loads of fun. INCREDIBLE JOB!

#12

oh and btw if you do end up changing the name then I think it should certainly be “Gravity Testicles”

#13

I have to agree - original idea.
Needs one thing to be perfect - a AI :wink:

#14

:Dhahah your totally right zapman oh and im having a “ball” playing this game LOL

#15

thx guys, you make me feel proud :o

#16

Zapman, I didn’t have a second person to try this game with, but playing by myself it seemed to work well, and the gravity adds a much needed twist to a breakout/pong like game. Excellent job on it, but an AI would be a much welcomed improvement. Even one that moves and fires randomly. maybe even one that follows the nearest ball with a maximum movement speed set, and only fires balls depending on the number on the field.

I think you could pull it off, and I hope you give it a try.
