| Hey, This is a new thread cos the old one got a bit confusing as it was 8 months old. (Lock that 1 please any mods)  I have changed the control mechanism for this demo (as some people disliked the simple up down keys), and would like to know if people like this new 1 or not? You now control via the mouse up/down or left/right. www.eakiah.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ballbearinginstall.zip Still loads of powerups and baddies to put in though. Thanks for looking regards Rob |

| Sweet. I just thought- Perhaps your ZIP is problematic using the WindowsXP extractor. I will try using WinRar later, maybe something is getting missed! |
| ||
| Heeps fun to play. |
| ||
| It worked after I used WinRar instead of the windows zip extractor. Excelent work :) ...I couldn't figure it out though. Well, I could, I just couldn't do it! |
| ||
| I like the freakish looking image levitating on the intro menu ! tried the windows Zip extractor, the menu came up fine every time but on executing the game, the first time I received: HUD_SetImageClip The specified file cannot.. blah... The second time I ran it the game worked - nice gfx, The third time I tried to access the options to no avail, decided to try and execute it again, however receive3d the HUD_Set... msgbox error again. Hope this helps... |
| ||
| Have updated with bug fixes, and a few levels added. Interested to know if people like the controls or not now? Rob |
| ||
| I get the same errors as Blitzplotter. The mainmenu works fine, but soon as I start the game, I get the HUD_SetImageClip error. Seems to be something with spritecandy. I could not play, so I cant really comment anything... the gfx looks good. |
| ||
| Works fine here. Great Game. I got stuck on the Boss level, how do you defeat it? |
| ||
| I can run the game. Ball movement is ok for me. Things that bug me: - the reflection of walls on the ground level really is too much for my taste. It distracts a lot. + add a "1280x" mode please - main menu doesn't react instantly on mouseclicks, but it should imho. - could not exit the game while I was playing via esc-key. |
| ||
| I'm getting the HUD_SetImageClip error too, but given that at 640x480 the menu runs like a pig on my machine I guess playing it is out of the question. Funny how I can still play games like Commanche 4, yet every Blitz game utilising sprite candy seems to kill my PC every time, just on menus. |
| ||
| Those screenies look freakishly cool! :) |
| ||
| I had that error after the menu. Reinstalled (from the same zip file) and for some reason it worked. Looks nice but I really hate the control system. |
| ||
| Thanks for the responses. Weird I've never had the HUD_Clip issue, but I will look into this. Sprite Candy is great but it seems to cause a few issues. Will look at the your issues Grisu, but not much I can do about hating the control system Nomen :) Though I will add a key and joystick control. Should have a full demo next week with everything working hopefully. Ta for your responses |

| Rob: I actually thought the control scheme for this game would have been better if it was like those old wooden maze toys- Push up/down/left/right to rotate the play area and the ball starts to roll that way. ireally couldn't get to grips with how it is now. Saying that, I DID still find it pretty damn sweet :) |
