name the game....
edit: SOLVED: Rally Bug.
you're a ball, object of each level is to go from l-r and get to the end of the screen, jumping over stuff. if you fall down cracks in the floor you die. I think the screen keeps moving so if you're too slow you get caught + lose life, not 100% sure about that bit
pretty sure it's a recent(ish) one, maybe by someone off here?

pretty sure this one is in monochrome.
also if you get to a certain point in the level, then if you die you'll get put back to that bit instead of starting all over again...
a little bit like Astroball but going from left to right instead of up the screen, and not as hectic/fast
The screen doesn't move but it is recent. There is also Bouncing Bomb but that was only a few weeks ago, again no scrolling.
sounds more like Thro' the wall any way :D

initially I thought it was hoppin mad / cataball (different title on c64)
nope (used to play this a lot)
no, love this game though
nah not those
yesss.. Thro' The Wall, thanks fog. :lol:
........ not really
this will do my head in now. the main point of the game was you have to keep going from left to right, jumping onto ledges/platforms etc, to reach the end of the level. you could bounce the ball up with jump key and change direction in mid air (iirc). I'm 90% sure it was a game posted here for the first time about 2/3yrs back, and quite a few people were playing it and giving feedback
this is vaguely how I remember the game looking:
the arrow probably wasn't in the game, that's just to show a bit you can fall down. think there was a kind of slight 3D effect which didn't really make any difference... that ring any bells for anyone? last time I tried to draw a game it worked and someone got it...

See also many other of AER's games, which share similar game mechanics.
Edit: just re-read the first post. Neither game features a spherical protagonist, sorry.

The above drawing reminds me of Bobby Bearing a little but, well, it won't be that.
no ? :|
First thing I thought of (I was playing it last week actually, remember buying it back then too) had forgotten its quite good.

sorry none of these, but thanks. will probably try those out later anyway they look quite good.
if no one's got it from the pic then maybe it won't get solved... was hoping it would be something obvious. :-(
definitely speccy, I don't play any other games (except on my iPad but this was a couple of years before I got that)
Spoke too soon, it is this! solved..
why didn't I remember you were a car, not a ball?!
great game, got hooked on this and probably will again now thanks :D:grin:
seeing this
...you're just about being right... it's a ball shaped car! :)
