ADJUST MOUSE SENSITIVITY IN THE OPTIONS MENU!!!!

Use the mouse to control the ball and stay on the platform through 10 skill and survival levels of this real time 3D Flash game!

NOTE: If the mouse is too sensitive, or frame rate is low, change the mouse sensitivity and display quality in the options menu.

Use the mouse to control the ball.
Stay on the platform.

TIP: The trick to completing levels is to properly balance ball movement.

My 2 cents

I thought the game was quite well presented, graphics looked fairly good in 3D, didnt have the problem with mouse sensitivity which other people are mentioning here.

As others have said it did get a little boring after level 5 or so, but thats because a lot of this has been done before. I like the last man standing levels they were well spaced between the navigation levels and gave a bit of relief to just going through mazes.

One thing I didnt particulary like was when the ball rested against a box, it kept bouncing off it, instead of resting against it. In these types of games it should be possible to happily sit the ball against a surface without being actively bounced off it. But anyway maybe I'm being picky...

Overall I commend your efforts, if you can optimize the game a little (I struggled a bit on the 1.2ghz that my laptop is stuck with) and maybe think of some innovative twists for the the game (power-ups? puzzles you have to solve, unlocking doors etc.?) this game (or eight ball madness "2") may get some better reviews, I wouldn't give up on it!!

Oh, and PLEASE make that 'Flaming Grannies' intro shorter... it took almost 20 seconds to start the game each and every time! Im not sure if its my laptop being slow (intros shouldnt be heavy on resources...) or the intro just being too long, just please short that down a bit.

All the best,

KC

flaminggranny responds:

Your lag problems, including the intro, have to do with your laptop (intro is only about 5 seconds at full speed). Go to the options menu and change the quality to low and you should be ok.

Also, for probably the seventh time since i posted this game, adjust mouse sensitivity in the options menu.

Looks good...

Why no keyboard controls?

You sir suck.

flaminggranny responds:

Why not only mouse so the game takes practice?

meh

its not bad, about average the ball dosent respond to your mose very well and u should change the backround to somthing diffrent than just black. the consept is alright but its been done befor and it gets boring very quick.

flaminggranny responds:

I tried to put a background on it, but with real time 3D, the frame rate just tanked (a sky box killed it too).

Moon physics

Fix the moon fysics and this will be a great game!

flaminggranny responds:

I think what you're talking about is mouse sensitivity, which, as I've now written about five times, can be adjusted in the options menu.

Interesting.

Not too bad, it was an entertaining game for a while but then it got boring for me.

flaminggranny responds:

How many levels did you get through, before it got boring?
