say, this looks cool. I'll try it later. It's Blitz3D I presume? I like the 3D backgrounds too.

Yea, B3D.

GREAT game.

If you could add 1280x1024 or 960 as screen resolution it would be perfect! ;)

This is visually impressive, and fun to play, although it felt a bit slow.

Loving the dropping block stacks, and implementation of powerups etc..

A few things spoil it for me though.

The bat motion always felt to be lagging behind the mouse movement.

I really think these type of games should have ball to ball collision when multiple balls are in play.

I hate arcade type games that are given an 'adventure' theme. Its just an arcade game intersposed with a picture of a map ;-)

A laser powerup and guns just felt out of place.

Got an error when exiting.
"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime library
_gemball.exe
Abnormal program termination"

Agreed with the lasers. He could change them to spears or arrows to fit the theme. Same goes for the cannons.

Reached Stage 4-1, time's up... :o)

map is pretty much the normal for portal games these days though. Not having one would make your game look funny.
