Mako had two wishes that he posted on the QJ thread.

A. someone give me dev status(wow i cant believe i actually decided to make a psp game n get this far ! i got my psp a yr ago n i never thought id actually MAKE a game)

B. can someone tell me how i can get this onto dl.qj.net and as a jump-able headline on the homepage?

I can't grant the first one though since I'm not the forum administrator, but writing about it and putting it up over at front page as a "jump-able" article is something I, and the rest of the QJ crew may be of service to. And if the forum administrators are reading this who knows, maybe you'd have dev status soon.

If the game sounds familiar to you that's because this game by Mako is a port of DJShrimpy's original PC game of the same title that he made from Game Maker 6.1. Game play is relatively simple. Guide your orb through a series of obstacles to get to the portal that will take you to the next level. Right now, as DJShrimpy points out, the game is still in its Beta phase, so don't expect something fancy. It has however jumping, collision, music and all the essentials. However, what's exceptional about it is that it comes with a level editor. This will allow you to customize levels by using letters to add blocks. Here's how to use the editor.

You can also create your own levels. Open up the LUA file with your favorite text editor (preferably Notepad) and add blocks using letters.

a = yellow blocks.
b = blue blocks.
c = dirt blocks (floor).
d = blue key.

Set the Orb start point with "playerX" and "playerY". Set the exit portal coordinates with "exitX" and "exitY". Set the previous level, and next level with "nxt" and "prev" (don't forget to put .lua at the end!). You can also adjust music volume and background images as well (they have to take up the full PSP screen, or the rest will be black space). The first "room" in the text file is how it is when you start. The next "room" is when you grab the key. So be creative and ONLY take out the blue blocks.

One out of two wishes ain't bad right? Looking forward to future releases Mako!

Update: Developer Mako has just updated his really interesting remake of the game Orbz to v0.2c. In this version, the speed has increased as he also used a different base lua player. So check out this new game and tell us what you think about it.
