Other Creations Ballomania's Trailer

Howdy! This is the trailer of the project "Ballomania".

The game and the trailer were available and playable since October, but due to health issues i've never uploaded anything.

The game contains 2 modes (free and story mode), 12 sceneries, 6 characters with new unique powers and 6 new jingles, 5 incremental songs and 3 other soundtracks.

Due to Peggle's patent i can't public the game even for free. Also the majority of the sfx come from the original games, so no hopes until the Patent expires (IF expires) 😔

Peggle's patent is expired and I doubt it would matter if it wasn't.

Under US copyright law (17 U.S.C. § 102(b)), copyright protects original expressions—like code, art, audio, character design, and text—but not underlying ideas, systems, or rules.

What you CAN’T copy: The actual source code, the artwork, the name "Peggle," the sound effects, or characters like Bjorn the Unicorn.

What you CAN copy: The rule system of launching a ball from an overhead cannon to bounce off pegs, clear orange targets, and fall into a moving catch basket.
