The Ball Oztoc - Released!

[Hourences]

We have released The Ball Part 2: Oztoc!

The Ball is the winner of the MakeSomethingUnreal contest Phase 1, having won both Best Gametype and Best Use of Physics.

The Ball is a first person singleplayer puzzle mod with an Aztec theme to it. The mod takes place in a mysterious Aztec temple, at the top of a volcano. The player has to use the Impact Gun to move a large steel ball around and utilize that ball to solve puzzles and get around obstacles. Impact Gun aside, the mod uses all new custom art to establish a unique, stylish, and atmospheric experience.

Oztoc is many times larger than Pehua, the first release, and features many improvements and additions:

# Meet the ruler and guardian of the temple. This king will observe the player as he progresses through the level.

# Enjoy a brand new ball with improved behavior and a simple but efficient hud.

# Puzzle your way through two new levels, together about four to five times the size of the Pehua level.

# Experience a whole number of new gameplay mechanics such as water, arrows, exploding balls, movable walls, and so on.

# An improved Pehua level, including one new puzzle and a little intro scene that introduces the simple background story.

# Dozens of bug fixes and small improvements.

I played the first level of Oztoc till now... it is really awesome, even better then Pehua, and i´m looking forward to play the second level later

You need UT3

finished the second level, it´s better than the first one, what doesn´t mean the first one is worse or so... and it is getting harder and harder absolute fun to play this, really good job.
