- prehensile, on 10/20/2007, -0/+83Hey folks, I'm the Flash developer on Launchball. The Science Musem had to take it down for the time being, as the digg effect was slagging the server and there's some other stuff going on with the site that means it has to have uninterrupted uptime for the next few days. We'll try to get it back up as soon as possible.
It's nice to see people enjoying it enough to kill the server though :) - RAEP, on 10/11/2007, -5/+51good job at ***** it up digg.
- Sube6491, on 10/11/2007, -3/+30Damn you Digg. Tantalizing me with launchball and ambient music and whatnot, then giving me service unavailabe with no working mirror. Damn you to hell!
/rant - inactive, on 10/17/2007, -3/+30its better than halo 3
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20I like crack way better than this.
- fyrfyter, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15This reminds me of another great game.....Anyone ever play The Incredible Machine? I miss that game. It was really easy and really fun like this one............Sighh
- FreakyD, on 10/22/2007, -2/+14I can't argue as I have never tried crack
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Stuck on "Connecting..." :(
- flair1, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14linky no workie
- prehensile, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11OK folks, here's the crack:
The Science Museum were having (and may, as far as I know, still be having) a BBC-supported public vote over something to do with a new museum location over the weekend, which was why they needed the uptime.
Meanwhile, the chap running the project at their end is in discussion with their hosting people to make sure they'll be able to take the strain this time round.
Meanwhile, I'm taking the opportunity of it being down to do some spit, polish & bug squashing :P
When we're sure everything's OK, we're going to bring it back online gradually, attempting to let the traffic ramp up gently instead of the Digg sledgehammer.
In summation: watch this space ;) - Naryuu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9cant play. digg is a website serial killer
- lafan313, on 10/19/2007, -1/+9reminds me of the incredible machine. whatever happened to that game? loved it.
- jonnyfatman, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8'Educational'!?
One of the little fact-bites just old me that electrical current was measured in Watts! - purty707, on 10/22/2007, -5/+12not more addicting then meth.
- bflfab, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Thanks, we'll be back ...
- dpknc84, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6There are no mirrors because the game has to contact the science museums website to load data. Since that's overloaded any possible mirror of the flash wouldn't work anyways.
- magusboy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6i guess i should have been concentrating in physics lessons at school instead of discussing the relative merits of David Bowie records... this is cool though, proves i still have a few brain cells left!
- eepi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5it´s crack or this. And this isn´t working, so I have to go to the streets now. Thanks digg.
- bryankennedy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Yay....new educational addictive game. Fun.
- deuxdood, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Well, neat. Now I'll have to go try some crack just to make sure...
- scottix, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Connecting................................
- syroncoda, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4im playing it and being all happy and then the digg-effect kicks in and damn thing goes offline :P
good to see people enjoying education though. - knetch, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I haven't even touched Halo 3 since I found this!
- debuggercll, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4That thing is retarded. Why do you need a 'smart board'? It's just the same thing as a monitor and keyboard, but your arm gets tired faster and there's an annoying shadow in the way.
- JudgeMonkey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Works for me as well, I'm using firefox.
- carl25, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4hmm, doesn't work in FF, but it works in my IE
- CivicTV, on 08/14/2009, -1/+5Its been 5 ***** days . . . . WTF.
- emargee, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5Awesome game ! Get busy with the physics-fizzy ! :P
- skippy562, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3man...i wish i found out about this game before digg did...
- ShatteredBlade, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5Physics. Damn this is addicting.
- sleeknerve, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4mirror anyone?
- Sukael, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3At this point, it seems like the only way this site will come back up is to bury the digg link entirely.
- echinda, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Ignore me - I got it about 5 seconds after my edit time ran out on the above.
- missingnoh4x, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Any day now...
- i4ybrid, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3That reminds me of this game at www.downloadmeimnotavirus.com
- JonAce, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Dugg for later...
- Perk, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5You killed it... Service Unavailable.
- Xionn, on 10/20/2007, -0/+3it's been a whole freaking day... come on...
- havesometea, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Educational and broken apparently.
- SirVantes, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2How do you do the volcano level, I can get within millimetres of getting over the top but just can't make it. Have tried every configuration of blocks I can think of, but it seems as if one more is needed in order to complete it.
- centinall, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2my uncle says smoking crack is pretty cooo
- Misapoes, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2http://tinyimg.us/i/rgh1191675500l.jpg
There you go. - mrshll, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2well, *****.
thanks, digg ¬¬ - prehensile, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2It's the "Launchball" game to support the "Launchpad" exhibition at the Science Museum. It's all there on the website, and the title in the game itself is "Launchball" ... what reason would I have to make any of the details in this or my other comment up, anyhow?
- johnmorse, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5oooo
shiny :)
there goes my day.... - vault, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Finally got past that and now it's ridiculously slow.
- colto, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2But did you REALLY cry?
- MakutaBloodlust, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4lol FAIL
nice spot
(current is amperes, watts are power) - willit32, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Err... it's for children!?
- nekochan, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3it's taken days, but it's back up! :D
