ok twist for a ok, overused game idea;)

i see that u used partigen for the background?if so, i think that using that library is a disgrace for a great coder like u. making such effect is just around 6 lines of code.

This exact game has been done. You need to take the concept to a new level and introduce a bit more innovation imo.

here’s one:

Hey.
Nice to see a new game, though i think this idea is kinda dead. Games like that have been done a bit too much (i think it started when the world saw crayon physics deluxe beta and when box2d was ported to flash everybody tried recreating that or making clones).
Most people will just cheat those stages..

A good idea would be to give the user just a fixed “length” for the lines… let’s say level x has 7m of line…he can make many shorts or longs…but not one big long one that will make the ball move directly to the spot.

Another way would be to use diffrent ropes (like one rubberband that will kinda stretch very wide when the ball hits it and it will be shot far away). This combined with the limited amount of rope would make it a bit harder and more creative for the user.

Best regards,
Chris
