Launchball

Categories: Flash, Free, Games, Online, Puzzle   83 comments - October 5, 2007

LaunchballLaunchballLaunchball is a new physics-based puzzle game created by the folks at Preloaded (do you remember CDX?) for the Science Museum in London to promote their new Launchpad gallery that will open its doors on Saturday 24 November.

The object here is to use different type of blocks and place them on the grid so that when the ball is released, it will reach the “goal”.

Each type of blocks has its own characteristics. To display them at the bottom of the game window, simply move your mouse over a block. The blocks available to complete each level are located in the bottom left corner of the game window. Click and drag them on the grid, and then click the test button to see the result.

Similar to games like The Incredible Machine, Crazy Machines or Blueprint, Lauchball is nicely designed and features 30 stages, 29 types of blocks, 3 levels of difficulty and a level editor that allows you to create and share your own levels!

Have fun!

Update: Launchball got dugg and you may experience some downtimes. If so, please come back later.

Update 2: “Sorry! Launchball has been a bit of a victim of its own success – we have had to take it down temporarily. Watch this space…” That’s what you can read now on the game’s page. So again, please come back later!

Update 3: 10-05-07 – Launchball is live – again!

kdice

Categories: Flash, Free, Games, Multiplayer, Online, Puzzle, Strategy   4 comments - December 5, 2006

kdicekdiceRemember Dice Wars, this Risk-like game developed by Taro Ito from Game Design? kdice, a multi player version of Dice Wars, was released in beta version on December 1st by Ryan Dewsbury, with the same set of rules as the original.

I visited the site several times during the last three days: you need to register first before being able to play, but the experience really worth it!

As I read somewhere, luck is a big part of the game. And you will have to wait sometimes several minutes before a new game starts; and yes, there seems to be some freeze issues with the game at the time of writing (at least it happened to some of us).

Having said that, playing kdice with six other players is definitely a lot of fun and you can’t miss this one: have fun!
