Excellent freeware game, which is controlled with one key. The simple aim of the game is to get your sphere from one end of the field to the other. However the ball is not controlled in the usual fasion. Every time you use the spacebar the gravitational force of nearby spheres pulls you towards them, hence you must presss the spacebar at the most opportune times (when the gravitional pull is going to move you towards the exit).

Has anyone else tried this game yet?

I downloaded, installed and ran it...but nothing happened. I also tried to look at the forum on the download site...but also a mysterious blank...nothing???

I had no problem with it. When it started up it had to load alot of files, and that was during a black screen. Maybe you couldn't see this. HAve you tried waiting for a while?

Otherwise I had no problem with this game. Lots of fun in general... :D

A one key game is in itself a feat. Making it into an original and very funny game is simply fantastic! A great physics game that sadly only lasts for 50 levels.

Hey All,

I'm the developer for this game. We are working on a sequel right now and need some beta testers. The sequel won't be freeware, but we plan to have a public demo/beta version up very soon. If you would be interested, drop me a line at [email protected]

Also, Ogre, have you had any luck? (I'm a little late in replying... but i would love to know some system specs)

I'm glad you enjoy the game. I'm very interested to see people reactions to the next one.

Thanks!

Well Ogre hasn't been in for a while so I doubt you will get an answer anytime soon.
Alas I have no time for betatesting at the moment. Otherwise I would love to help.

I've found this GREAT game a while ago and wanted to submit it @ OGC forums but I lack of enough free time.

I love the ambiance of this cool game, however I always get stuck at level 36 or 37 (the one with a spiral in the top middle of screen)

Not only graphics are good but also the music soundtracks, which ones I even listen to on my media player.
