Hello Everyone, SpaceBall is a psychadelic circular pong-like game which was inspired by Octopong, a simple game made by Super Nova on the TGC forums:
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=124440&b=8
This version is effectively a beta version, so if you have any comments or ideas, or find any bugs,
please let me know. I would also be very grateful if you could just tinker around with the variables
in the Options menu (going back to the menu saves your options) and find out what speeds work best
with what modes.
Feel free to play around with the media and data, and see if you can decrypt the highscores
All the media in SpaceBall was created by me, unless otherwise stated in sources.txt. (please read it!)
For those who are interested :
Total spaceball lines = 1895 +- 5 (game+menu)
Total time taken : 38 days
STARTED at 7:04 pm 22 February 2009
FINISHED at 5:56 pm 30 March 2009
Future version:
different high score saving system
remember the last name entered in the high scores window
convert background song .wav to .mp3
figure out a way to make it work on machines without directX 9.0c, if possible
enlarge the playing area - Fullscreen default
Random obstacles that appear in the playing area for a few seconds and deflect the ball when hit.
Speed decreaser (maybe have a very tiny circle appear for 1 second that you have to click to activate).
Portals that teleport the ball to a different location.
Additional paddle that appears on the other side of the current paddle and lasts for a while.
Trick balls that randomly appear to try and make you lose track of the real ball.
Grav ball, ball gets attracted to paddle
Black holes, obstacles that throw ball off its path (i.e. gravity)
Ball enlarges/shrinks, depending on [powerups]?
