A downloadable game

The Idea:

Big Ball Blitz is a 3D physics projectile game, players must fire there destructive Cannon Ball at the small village and try and cause as much destruction as possible, and those silly villagers have left all there explosives out in the open! Launch your cannon balls and watch the mayhem ensue as you collect pick-up allowing you to set yourself and objects you crash into alight!

Players have 3 attempts to destroy as much as possible! Those silly villagers have left all there explosives just laying around, so don't pass up the opportunity to land a well placed shot on one of them!

You'll then be scored on how much damage you really did!

Controls:

Mouse - Drag your cursor from the ball to preview your fire arc and release to fire!

A/W or Directional arrows - To tactically glide your ball forwards or backwards in flight!

E - To use fire-picks gained in flight!

HUD:

In game you will see in the top left hand corner all your appropriate stats including:

The amount of Glide you have left for the current attempt.
The number of Fire Pick-ups in your inventory.
Your current Score.
The number of Attempts you have left for this Turn.

There is a also an End Turn button if you've caused as much destruction as possible, but still have attempts left and wish to end the turn.

This can also be used if you have expended all your attempts but the objects in the scene are still in motion and the Score Menu hasn't appeared, as the Score Menu is toggled when all objects are stationary, or very slow moving. This stops you missing out on those valuable points, when you have fired you last cannon and objects are still chaining damage!

Menus:

When you enter the game you are greeted with the Start Menu; you can QUIT the game, bring up the HOW TO PLAY screen, and enter the game with PLAY.

After your turn has ended the Score Menu is brought up displaying or score and your RUBBISH, BRONZE, SILVER or GOLD Rating. From here you can go to the NEXT or PREVIOUS LEVEL depending on whether you are on level 1, 2 or 3. You can also RESET the level to try and improve your score, as well as QUIT the game.

When in game you can press 'ESC' to toggle the pause menu, which contains a refresher in HOW TO PLAY the game., and also QUIT the game.

Coming Soon:

Soon I hope to add an explosive pick-up, which will allow the player to explode after they have landed inflicting more damage and mayhem.

I also hope to add the ability for fire to chain between objects allowing more radial damage to occur, and reducing the restrictions of 1 line of damage.

There are also a few minor bug fixes required, such as some objects not taking full fall damage, as well as some objects registering an incorrect collision velocity.
