Rockball 2
About
This is a simple project I made in order to get back into making games. The original Rockball was the last game I made, and due to it's "quality" I ended up taking it down, along with my other projects. Years later, my motivation and time have allowed me to work on my passion once again. I decided to work on a simple project in order to get me back into the swing of development, and an idea instantly sprung... Rockball 2. My goal was to improve on the original from both a visual and technical perspective.
Rockball 2 is a simple 3D platformer, where the goal is to roll, jump, and maneuver through each level. As mentioned, this game sets to improve on the original in every way. Rockball 2 includes:
- 10 Levels, each with it's own visual theme, and many have a unique gameplay element introduced to them!
- A Full Soundtrack!
- Gamepad Support (Limited)!
Although I don't really enjoy the original Rockball enough for me to make it it's own page, I will include an optional download for it for anyone who wants to give it a try (mainly to compare it to the superior Rockball 2).

I hope you guys enjoy this project!
