I still have a 3.5" drive on my oldest PC (circa 2001), but I don't think I've ever actually used it.

Also it's remarkably hard to find 3.5" disks these days. Apparently it's necessary for Fry's to dedicate an entire frickin' wall to blank CDs, DVDs, and BDs, but it's too much to ask for them to leave a few token boxes of floppy disks up there for laughs.  Huh?

Maybe you could just charge $50 and send them an external floppy drive too?

I have an external USB one. I just can't find what I did with all of my discs! Facepalm

Gameplay is looking nice and difficult. What are you using to make it?

This looks great.  You may want to dial back the fisheye effect on the screen, though - it's a cool effect and all but in a platform game where you need to judge distances carefully I can see it getting old fast.

@Franklins Ghost: Thanks, it's a custom engine written in C++. I'm using DirectX for video/audio/input, but pretty much everything else is my own.

@Paul J: I haven't had any trouble with it myself, but I'll keep that in mind. My expectation is that after a minute or two of playing, you shouldn't even really notice the curvature anymore.

Maybe, adding option to disable this effect would be reasonable step

You know, I'm usually all about the balls hard gameplay and level design, but that "3 balls going back and forth" part at the start just seems like pure frustration.  

It's not clear what the timing is, and they don't move smoothly, which makes it difficult to judge.  Also, your guy's hit area is huge.  Might want to make it a bit smaller to increase the margin of error you can get away with.

Pretty much done building the world. Got a few rooms left to populate with hazards and that's about it.
