As the next episode of The Ball rolls into view.
Designed and directed by popular modder Hourences, The Ball is a delightful looking beast. It’s an Aztecan-themed, first-person puzzler that takes place in an allegedly mysterious temple – itself, located within a cave system inside a volcano. As a physics-based puzzle game, players ultimately roll around a large ball made of steel and gold in order to succeed at the given challenges.
Duties for the ball include not only solving puzzles, but getting around certain obstacles and even killing enemies by rolling over them. Players manipulate it with a funky weapon that features both a hammer and a magnet in order to repel and attract it. Oh, and one of the enemies is a giant, undead gorilla.
As promised, developer Toltec Studios is releasing the next part of the Unreal Tournament 3 mod tomorrow. Titled ‘Teotl,’ it’s the third release of the episodic mod which now features around four hours of gameplay. We’re lead to believe that all three episodes will be rolled into this latest release. Although this remains to be confirmed, it would certainly make the mod more readily accessible to new players.
Aside from recently showing off a number of new screenshots, a narrated trailer has just surfaced today. Billed as The Ball’s official game trailer, it gives a good indication as to what players can expect.
Update: The third installment of The Ball is now available. You can download all 250MB of it from BeyondUnreal.
