Far more fun than it should be.

Is it just me, or will Shockwave not install for Firebird?

It's Monkeyball with a jump button and a less useful camera. Great clone, but without monkeys, I dunno...

I'm using Firebird 0.7 on Win2K and it works for me.

yeh, monkeyball rules and this seems to be an inferior knockoff. and rushmc, i've had an insane amount of problems installing or playing multi-media plugins w/o it crashing (currently firebird 0.7 win/2k).

Using the mouse to navigate is frustrating because in order to jump you've got to L click ON the ball, thus screwing up the tilt. Can't effectively use a combo of space bar and mouse either.

I thought stress balls were supposed to relieve stress. This is just making me angry. Damn ball keeps falling off.

in order to jump you've got to L click ON the ball No, you don't. L click anywhere. Works for me.

Thanks, poopy. I was wondering the same thing as rushmc. I think it is called a stress ball because it creates stress. Fun, though.

...you've got to L click ON the ball, thus screwing up the tilt... no, you just have to click anywhere in the game area - try it. Yeah this is a clone of Monkeyball, but it's fun and free nonetheless. Both are a variation of Marble madness too, though they play alot different due to the player controlling the board, not the marble. These games are more of a ripoff of those old wooden labyrinth things.

Hey, this game is great! Plus, it let's you edit your own levels that can be on a million by million square grid! Cool!
