Switchball!

Switchball, or previously named Crazy Ball, is a physics driven game where you controll a ball by applying force to it, in order to get it past obstructing crates, magnets, bridgeable gaps and more to reach the end of a level.

I recently found this game through an indie developers site, and I was quite amazed about the fresh idea and the way it was worked out. Visually very nice, playing even better (if only the controls were fixed and some design issues being adressed, but both are being worked on).

I really liked this game except for it's beta-stage flaws and it's definitely on my to-buy list now. I thought you guys would like it as well, as I think it's really a shiny example of refreshing use of physics. Enjoy! :smile:

That game rules! Wow, that is incredibly fun. i got to ice level two
and past that box-down the chute thing, then got blown off by the
falling canon balls and decided i was done. but that is a reaaly fun
game. is this done with Torque Shader Engine 3.0? Because I think I remember seeing this a while back.
