It looks like a very unique concept! I hope this one works out for him

It's free for all those who want to run it on PC! On the 360 you'll need a Creator's Club subscription.

His stuff just keeps getting more impressive! He has a unique combination of having great ideas, having the skill to bring them to life, and having superb abilities of polishing the end product.

That's plain amazing, how fluidly it jumps from pole to pole. It looks to be one of those games that is difficult, but so, so rewarding when you succeed.

That's really cool. Reminds me of a really old 2D motor bike game everybody was playing when I was a kid. But this one is way more complex, of course.

I wonder if it uses Erin Catto's Box2D physics library

No, it uses something else. It says so at the beginning I believe.

This game is too hard! I figured out where I could download this and tried it. For one thing the game inverted my right analog stick(Making it harder) and almost all the levels were very hard. But, at some points it was fun to watch the guy fly in the air and hit a pole. If you haven't figured out where to download, go here.

Your PS2 controller won't work, unfortunately. XNA only allows the 360 controller on 360 and PC.

Mine worked and its not a xbox controller. The only problem is that the right analog stick has its axis flipped(Why can't he make a option to invert the axis). I even tried to play the game with a real joystick(the big stick thing) and it still worked.

My Logitech controller works perfectly, I didn't find the inverted Axix problem at all.

I think Walaber uses soophman's Direct Input Library, so just about any Direct Input Gamepad should work.

Regardless, I found this game to have a REALLY steep learning curve...I watched the tutorials and expected to be able to pull of those moves easily, I was wrong.


around here.. normal's just a setting on a hair dryer

As long as it's USB and you have the drivers then yeah, it's a standard controller. I use a 360 controller when playing Trackmania, analogue steering is a great improvement over arrow keys.

You can also use a wireless 360 controller with your PC if you have a USB adapter thingie. It works pretty good but the only way to turn off the controller is to remove the batteries

My guess is he included the direct input libraries so joysticks and other gamepads should work fine.
