iPhysics gets Intergalactic Hamsters

iPod Touch Fans user Sic Jake loves his touch, his physics, and evidently, space-faring rodents. To requite his love for this trio, he is working on a new level pack for iPhysics called Hyper Ham Ball: Intergalactic Hamsters Thru Time. This is a physics-based platformer with two-way control and wonderful Anime-style visuals — but I’ll let Jake do the talking.

First off, love my Itouch.
Second, adore Iphysics.

So much time wasted with both, so little work getting down. Very cool R4m0n! Keep adding to the program! Would love to see area triggers, more actions, and the ability to control what shapes the user can draw, as well as skin those objects.

I’m working on a mod, but some of the features I want aren’t in Iphysics at the moment, so it’s on hold for abit. I need the time to make the sprites/backgrounds anyway I suppose. Anyway, I’m looking for some feedback on what I’ve got so far. I’m not really happy with the way the ball moves, looking for ways to improve it. It sorta slides around and at times won’t get rid of it’s momentum, try accelerating and bouncing into a wall to see what I mean. As well would like to know, do people want sound/music in these mods? Music I wouldn’t think so, it is an Ipod afterall, but what about sound effects? Any comments/suggestion welcome.

Jake says we can expect a release in about two weeks or so, and I for one have never been excited to be invaded by cute little fuzzballs from beyond the Oort cloud. You can download his work-in-progress here.
