    Hi Folks

    Space Balls is well on the way to completion, so I though it was time to share a few more details. Thanks, Morgan.

    The Game:
    Space Balls is a physics puzzler that combines skill with brains. Players make their way though a variety of levels, that present different challenges and require considered tactics. The obstacles in each level will have to be moved, used, altered or destroyed in order to capture a number of enemy Cuboids. This is done through the clever and skillful firing of Space Balls, each with their unique talents and properties.

    The Back-story:
    Set in distant galaxies where the Space Balls and their arch-enemies the Cuboids live, the game begins on planet Orb. Home to the Space Balls, Orb is powered by the Ultramegasphere. Unfortunately the evil Cuboids appear and steal the device and its up to you to get it back. Until you do planet Orb is open to Cuboid attack.

    Game Features:
    * Progressively disclosed Full storyline featured in comic strip format.
    * 16 Space Ball characters with different skills and attributes
    * 35 different obstacles and enemies, all with unique properties
    * 90 increasingly difficult levels.
    * atmospheric music and sound effects
    * iPhone 4 hiRes graphics.

    Are levels entirely pre-scripted or just a set of generative parameters (it will be made with these types of obstacles, this number of baddies, and with any of these power-ups).

    hand crafted for playability. I dont think game-generated levels would be possible for this.

    THanks Mattll, the levels in you beta version are just a few testers. Hopefully the final ones will be even better and even more fun.
