Fan and Ball

December 9, 2003 2:16 PM

Fan and ball [flash] is an addictive and fun little game. It may not be friday yet, but it was such a neat little idea that I couldn't resist posting it here. [via b3ta]

I'd like to see more levels added to this thing, but it was a nice little diversion... enjoy :-)

Neato! What a great idea, and post!

BTW you can prolly be forgiven for not waiting till friday, since it's not Flash but Shockwave.

I think the whole "Friday flash" cliché has been nixed -- I know I got yelled at the last time I mentioned it. Crunchland's marathon of daily flash posts pretty much put the nail in the coffin.

Yay, diversions!

Pedantic, but it matters for those of us who use operating systems only partially supported by macromedia: It's Macromedia Director, not flash.

Yeah.. sorry for the shockwave/flash confusion.

I feel bad, since I noticed the same mistake a day or two ago from another post... and made note of it and thought "bah... it's SHOCKWAVE!"...

My bad. Typed too fast.

Very cool. The extruded parabola looking thing was the hardest. The "terrainy" ones after that were too easy.

WolfDaddy posted a flying game from the same site earlier. The main page has a ton of shockwave stuff to play around with.
