N0X Ballance (A level you SHOULD NOT miss)

Archive: 5 posts


http://lbp.me/v/bjh5kb

This level is based on the original Ballance Game for PC (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBp1NtdNCtg). All pictures are from the original game (I don't have any way to port the lbp pictures).
If the LBP community enjoys the level, I will make more.

Ballance is a level-based puzzle game. The player has to move a ball through a hovering maze of paths and rails. When moving, the player will face many mechanical obstacles like seesaws, suspension bridges, pendulums etc. to overcome. It is the aim of the game to reach to the end of each level without dropping the ball.
Ballance takes its special appeal from the physically realistic simulation of its elements. A good feeling of the ball's inertia and an understanding of simple mechanical processes will enable the player to succeed.

The special feature of the ball is that the player can change its material, and thus its physical properties. The material can be changed from wood to stone or paper. For changing the material of the ball, the player has to steer the ball onto one of the transforming fields (transformers) that can be found at various places.
Ballance is played against the time. The faster a player gets through a level the more scores will be granted. Picking up various Extra Scores may provide the player with additional "time scores".

Ballance is a combination of a puzzle and a game of skill. While the skill component is omnipresent - everything finally depends on steering the ball - the element of intelligence reveals itself in the form of "physical puzzles". These puzzles count on an intuitive grasping of the level architecture and the principles of simple mechanics. They often refer to the physical transformation of the ball.
When exploring the world of this game and its rules, the view into endless depths gives the player a continuous thrill.

Other level I made with thousands of plays:

Seriously 4 plays?! 4 plays is that all! It certainly deserves more then 4 plays, a lot more. Nice little ball run of a level. Although I did find it lacked a bit in design and decoration. Somehow it made up for it in the gameplay especially the changing ball mechanic that you have. Thought that was the best part of it. A few tilting obstcales or even making the ball slightly unsteady like in the retro Marbel maze type games would add a bit more challenge to it. Overall I don't think it needs it. Hope you get more plays, 4 plays makes my sacke person sad.2012-05-30 16:49:00
