Really gives you some serious "Gem Towers" vertigo... Also, the C64 retro-remix soundtrack is a nice touch.</p> <p>Stars &#38; Stripes looks cool too. Being as it has a freeware license, I might do something to make an english mirror on my web site, but I got to give the game a look-see first. I even tried to translate the page using an online form, but it was no use, unless you can make sense of "Super Stars and Stripes Alternative Racer funny wasted halt but scores bushwhacked". </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4815#post-51412 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 20:28:01 +0000 reverseOrder 51412@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>You're welcome.<br /> Blockball Evolution looks amazing!<br /> Thanks for bringing it up, I missed seeing it. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4815#post-51397 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 15:32:55 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 51397@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks reverseOrder; I was going to post some marble games as well, but got sidetracked. I'm glad I saved them for another week. :)</p> <p>My son loves marble games so this is very welcome. </p> <p>I hope you don't mind me referencing the marble game called Blockball Evolution a 300Mb+ download posted by devildog the other day. You can find it <a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4765"><strong>HERE</strong></a> I thought that as it was also a marble game and that it looks like it's been overlooked, that it would be appropriate to add it to the marble game you've posted. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4815#post-51383 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 05:49:13 +0000 midori 51383@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks, rO... played the meatball one for a bit... nice! (boy, am I AWFUL at marble rolling games...) Downloading the other two to have a look-see. :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4815#post-51379 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 02:54:59 +0000 reverseOrder 51379@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Just a few marble games.</p> <p>---------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p>Stars and Stripes Alternative Racer</p> <p>This is a unique racing game from the igf. Each race takes place on randomly generated tracks. What makes this unique is the track is created in front and it gets destroyed behind. This makes racing more exciting as you can never get too far ahead. By staying in first you collect "stars", eventually winning the game when you collect 5 of them. When in last place you collect "stripes" that allow you to preform special attacks. I couldn't find an English site to download the game so on the website just click "STAHNI" to get the download.</p> <p>Download (27 MB):<br /> <a href="http://plnehry.idnes.cz/simulatory/stars-and-stripes-alternative-racer-d7e-/clanek.A050204_115721_bw-plneHry-simul_bw.idn" rel="nofollow">http://plnehry.idnes.cz/simulatory/stars-and-stripes-alternative-racer-d7e-/clanek.A050204_115721_bw-plneHry-simul_bw.idn</a></p> <p>---------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p>Escape to Veganville</p> <p>This is a marble (or should I say meatball?) rolling game created by students from the University of Illinois at Chicago. It is very short as there is only one level but there are multiple paths so it can be replayed a few times.</p> <p>Download (17.5 MB):<br /> <a href="http://www.evl.uic.edu/spiff/class/cs426/projects/fall2005/AmazeInc/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.evl.uic.edu/spiff/class/cs426/projects/fall2005/AmazeInc/index.html</a></p> <p>---------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p>Celestial Sphere</p> <p>This is a more standard marble game from the igf that involves exploring and collecting coins. It also has a massive download size.</p> <p><em>Story:<br /> The Galactic Power Company has enclosed our Sun in a great Dyson Cube, a device that captures all its energy and sends it out across the cosmos to light distant galaxies! And to prevent us from resisting, they have captured our planet in an impenetrable Celestial Sphere!But all is not lost, for we have discovered a way to propel the Sphere, and if we follow the beams of energy being sent into space we will find the Six Galactic Power Stations. If we collect the Control Coins hidden there, we can reverse the flow of power and return to the Cube, then shut it down and take back our light!</p> <p>Rundown:<br /> Play as the Earth itself trapped in an impenetrable Celestial Sphere, out to reclaim the Sun. Roll your way around seven levels full of strange spatial puzzles, dynamic obstacles, and ever-changing gravity. Never assume you know which way is down.</p> <p>Requirements.<br /> Windows XP/Vista. Nvidia GeForceFX 5200, ATI Radeon 9500 or better. 512MB of system memory. PhysX Card optional (untested). </p> <p>Installation and Gameplay Instructions:<br /> Run the installer package to install the game. Before playing you must also install a PhysX runtime package that will be installed after the game installation is complete.Run the game application and select “Start New Game” to begin play. If you experience frequent slowdowns, disabling Motion Blur and Bloom Effects in the Graphics Settings may improve your gameplay experience.During play, you may navigate your Sphere using the WASD keys, and turn the camera side-to-side using the Left and Right Arrow Keys. These may be reassigned in the Controls Settings.The first six levels may be played in any order, by moving to each side of the large Cube which you will start on, and entering the tall Beacon. Simply rolling off the edge of the Cube will change gravity and the camera such that the Cube is always below you.The objective of the game is to visit each of the Six Power Stations and collect each Coin found there. The number of coins remaining in each level will be displayed in your HUD with the current number collected. Once all Coins in a level are collected, you may return to the Cube by reaching the Beacon. If you fall off of the level and disappear, press Enter to continue. Once all six outer levels are complete, you will be able to enter the Cube, where the interior of which is the final level. Upon collecting the last of the coins, you will be able to pass through a barrier in the center of the Cube and reclaim the Sun.</em></p> <p>Download (182 MB):<br /> <a href="http://celestialspheregame.com/?page_id=2" rel="nofollow">http://celestialspheregame.com/?page_id=2</a> </p>
