Sideroller demo. Have fun.

Destroyed my browser. Chromium, Linux, 64 bit.

Flash has been having a lot of trouble with this combination recently.

Chrome dev build 4.0.266 on Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix (32bit) on Acer Aspire One 150 works fine.

P.S: Flash videos seem to load pretty slow on Chrome though.

Firefox 3.5, Ubuntu 9.10 x32 and my eeePC (1000HE) running it fine... Some lag if I instantiate a lot of telekentically rendered matter...

No problem on Mac Chromium (Leopard).

The art is very cool, but the demo is entirely too easy. The "shooting" feature's kickback allows you to fly, bypassing any obstacles. Unless this is a feature, in which case the obstacles need to be designed with that in mind. Other than that, pretty neat!

Even easier, you can just click and drag yourself in telekinesis mode...

ajb 16 years ago | | |

I just managed to crash it doing that: accidentally dragged myself too far away from the 'world' and now the ball is just sitting in the middle of the screen, spinning.

Thinking about it, maybe I've just put myself in orbit :-) It's a bit difficult to see where down is, though, to get myself out.

ajb 16 years ago | | |

Hah, figured it out: you can tell where down is by drawing stuff and watching it fall.

More fun: draw a spaceship around yourself and drag that around.

I drew a boat.

Look at me, I'm on a mofo'in boat!

From what I could see, it's not really a game exactly. It's more of an explore the area/play with objects kind of thing.

Love the atmosphere of the game and the fonts, unfortunately the 'telekenisis' feature doesn't work - I cannot move the giant rude watermelon or the small brown box above it. Great start though.

nvn1 16 years ago | |

Neither can I.

EDIT: Doh! I wasn't clicking on myself first. Never underestimate the stupidity of users.

johnfn 16 years ago | |

Strange. I was able to move the watermelon no problem. Check your flash version?

The developer here. Just saw my page views explode from this link. Thanks for the feedback (you're right - there's not much of a point, it's just a playground). BTW, I'm also releasing the engine it's based on here:

I stopped playing about 10 minutes ago, but my brain still thinks my monitor is rolling left and right.

This site has been up for years, and never before been submitted? I should scrape my history...

I think I may have achieved a stable orbit around the planet with the red water. Fun game!

Asmodeus 16 years ago | |

The orbital mechanics seem to be accurate. Shooting up or down just causes oscillations. To move up or down orbits, fire forward or backward.

If you fly too high the game breaks.

mattezell 16 years ago |

Neat game... Thanks for giving me something to kill time with during this holiday break :)

davidu 16 years ago |

I think it made me nauseous playing. Pretty neat though. :-)

GoldenStake 16 years ago |

the game breaks should you move yourself into the portal, at the house level to the lava level, in telekinesis mode

cute game but what's wrong with using the cursors?

agazso 16 years ago | |

The cursor works too, but you can't reach Space easily that way. Probably it advises to use A and D for control so that you can use your left hand for keyboard and right hand for mouse.

On a second thought Up should work as space, and cursor keys would be fully usable.
