No arcade modes, no steering aids - YOU have to do the driving. It is therefore highly recommended to play the sim with a wheel, because even though you can use keyboard and/or mouse, a wheel is what you use in a real car, so a wheel should be used in a serious racing simulator. Especially when going online, where fast reactions are required.

]]> 02 Mar 2007 07:52:53 And Yet It Moves And Yet It Moves is basically a mixture between a jump and run and a puzzle game, with the extra ability to rotate the world. The player can run left, right and jump, but can also turn the world clockwise and counterclockwise by 90 degrees. When this happens physics works the following way: as soon as rotation starts all objects get frozen and after rotation objects continue to move with their velocities (direction and speed) they had before. With this ability you can move objects and yourself but also need to keep orientation and watch out for dangerous situations. Don't worry though, your made out of paper so you can die as often as you want to.
The overall goal is to get through this collage of ripped paper. And if your quick - and don´t die too often - you might get into the highscore list.
This is a gameconcept for a mediainformatics course held by the igw at Vienna University of Technology. We made two levels that show different aspects of how actual gameplay could be like. The first level - the cave - is more jump and run style and is an easy one where you can practice and improve your rotation skills. The second one - the jungle - is an advanced level with more sophisticated puzzles. To solve them you have to apply the physical consequences of rotating the world to the player and other objects simultaneously.

Though, at first glance, the game appears to be a madcap arcade-style "Free-for-all" that combines armed combat and off-road racing with the risk of high-stakes Poker, a single play reveals an intensely addictive, mentally stimulating thrill ride full of limitless strategy, nuance, and depth. Every round is a nail-biting cliffhanger that "ain't over till it's over" ...and yet the average game time is under three minutes long!

Players can use high-powered vehicles to rush out and grab any card they see, use machine guns, dynamite & heat-seeking-missiles to steal opponent's cards, put a "Bounty" on the head of troublesome adversaries, ...in short, use trickery, intimidation, bravado, deceit, speed, stealth and brute force to bankrupt their opponents and win the $100,000 EvilBrau Tournament!

In addition to over a 125 detailed levels, dozens of unique characters, and a hilarious backstory ripped from the pages of the dread Velcronomicon, Arctic Stud has a gameplay mechanic thats so unique, it's patented!

-The ship icon in the upper left corner of the screen will turn darker red every time an asteroid hits your ship and will be on fire when your damage is critical mass. Pick up the powerups with the '+' in the middle to recharge your sheilds and restore the ships health. It is on loan so - you break it you buy it...

-You can pick up powerups after you destroy certain asteroids.
