  Knock other players off the stage until you are the last one standing

• Download and Installation Instructions
  • Required Hardware:

    Because of certain advanced shader features, the program will only run in recent video cards. Here are some of the cards we have successfully tested:

  NVidia: GeForce 7400, 7800, 7950

  ATI: X1900XT

   

  • Windows:
    • Download Zip File
    • Run executable
    • If you get a segmentation fault or other error, you probably don't have a good enough graphics card =(

   

  • Linux:
  Coming soon...

 

• Game Controls
  • Click on "How To Play" in the Game Menu

 

• Powerups
  • Missile

  

  Pick it up and shoot your enemies far away. Remember to steer your missile after launch!

   

   

   

  • Fastball

  

  Move quickly across the stage and bump into other spheres with your higher momemtum. Jump higher distances off ramps and pick up other powerups that could not reached otherwise.

   

   

  • Bigball

  

  Multiply your radius and mass with this powerup. Spheres can barely affect you during collision. You will even survive missile collisions.
