Based on some of the feedback I've tweaked the handling a little. The controls still use UP to move foward and LEFT and RIGHT to rotate, but I've changed the handling on 3 of the balls to make them rotate a little slower/smoother. I haven't yet implemented an alternate control scheme... that will come in a future version when I get some time away from a contract job due this month. I also fixed a bug in the scoring.

Thanks again to everyone for checking it out and all the feedback.

Disco Balls: It's fast paced action as you guide your marble to control the board while avoiding the competition. Pick your marble carefully, control the board and beat the clock to survive in the Marble Disco!

"Decent game...."

But the music make it unbarable, i had to mute my entire sytem and then i couldn't listen to my own music and the gameplay was good, but not good enough to compensate for silence.

What's with those hyper-sensitive turning controls? And powerups really did nothing too interesting, you couldn't disable your opponent at all. Seriously, fix those dam controls, it's annoying to tap sideways and wind up turning in circles.

Author's Response:

For everyone who felt they handled too twitchy, I just uploaded a version with slightly less sensitive steering. Green is unchanged, as I always intended him to turn extremely tight, but all others have been adjusted. Red has minor change, Yellow a little more of a change, and Blue has the most severe change.

In a future version I will be including 2 new powerups that I wasn't sure, thinking they may be too powerful. One is specifically designed to disable opponents for a period of time. The other forces 1 or more opponents to place your color for a period of time. I'll try to get that version up (along with an ability to change control schemes) later this month.

i say this because i got to lvl 8 by only holding down the up key and doing nothing but that

Author's Response:

That's something I definitely need to look into then. Out of curiosity, which color did you chose?

Other than that, a zero? :( But seriously, thanks for bring that up, as that is something that shouldn't have happened and something I apparently need to address.
