Electricity & Balls

caffeinekid · 05 July 2006, 18:36

I remember playing a very cool game on a PD compilation where you had to move a metal ball around the screen with electricity/magnatism to collect or destroy things.

Anyone have any ideas? I've been trying to remember this one for what seems like forever.

Phewww! Topic sounded awfully painful for a second there.

First thing I thought of was Deflektor. This one is a commercial release and not PD though.

Thanks for having a go, but it's definitely not Deflector - another game I love.

Sorry about the thread title - didn't realise how bad it sounded until I had it pointed out to me... OUCH indeed.

It actually feels good once you get used to it.

Wild guess......

X-BALES (PD Soft - disk 3868)

This game, written in Blitz Basic, is a puzzle
game in which you must build a circuit to steer
both balls into the protobox. There are both
dynamic and static objects (components) to steer
the balls in different ways. Good graphics and
music.

Could it be this one?

HUGE list of PD games here
