Hey! Thanks for letting us take a look at your entry.

I am downloading now, but as it seems, the server is a little "slow" :) 1kb/sec *wheeeeee*

I'll report after I played it.

Greetings,
Dirk

Can't get a connection - any chance of uploading somewhere else?

:toocool:

fun game
i wish i had that on my cellphone

[Huehnerschaender]

Muhahaha.... that game is great!!

Didn't manage the 3rd level, but I already have seen the red marbles high in the "air". Very difficult to get up there, but very funny too!

I really like the graphics ^^

Good luck to you in the compo! I will try the 3rd level later again.

Greetings,
Dirk

I am uploading it to my webspace, which is fast.

Hope Imp5 doesn't mind. If so, just post it here and I will delete it from my webspace again.

Greetings,
Dirk

I'm afraid your server isn't going very fast. Speed is like 1kb/s.

That's a really cool game you've got there! The first 2 levels were a bit easy, but the third is a real tough one. Took me quite a few tries, but in the end I managed to get all the way up. Shame there aren't any more levels. :(

Tumbs up for a great entry! :thumbup:

[Huehnerschaender]

Traveler, see my post above ^^

You didn't need to wait that long *lol*

I dlled it when there was no reply yet, played it for nearly an hour and a half and then wrote my message. Should have refreshed it, before writing :)

I have to agree with everyone else. This is indeed a very cool game. Any chance of making an OpenGL port so that it would work on Linux and MacOS X via FreePascal?

PS. I've upgraded this thread to a news item.

Thank you =)

Arctic Macrob first worked with OpenGL graphics.
But when I decided to make it shareware in future I tested it on several casual configurations.
In fact casual users don’t warn about latest OpenGL drivers =( So, Arctic Macrob didn’t work normally in case of 50%.
Then I ported it to Direct3D (Direct3D – is a f@#$%g bad library for a novice!)

>>Any chance of making an OpenGL port so that it would work on Linux and MacOS X via FreePascal?
A lot of chance. =) But not right now.

Imp5, забавно, правда музыка у меня не проигрывается (звук в игре есть) :)

[Robert Kosek]

Awesome work! Somehow you managed to fit fun colors, challenging gameplay and even interesting music into a tiny package. :D And it's another Asphyre powered game!

[AthenaOfDelphi]

Hi Imp5,

I think Robert summed it up nicely. Great job :-)

[WILL]

Hey Imp5, any updates lately. :) Or do you plan on continuing this project post-PGD Annual?

I am also curious for news about artic macrob. A really good game.

Maybe it could be released on a open license on source forge =)
