Narbacular Drop

This also a really cool game, like Cave Story. But it's much different, and it's only in the Alpha build, so there are some glitches.

Basically, you...You know, it's hard for me to explain things like this. It get complicated, but it's so neat. Just believe me when I say it's worth downloading. Don't believe me? Believe ValvE. Yeah, the guys at ValvE loved this game so much, that they're giving contracts to the guys who are making this game to make it on the Source engine. So at least try it out.

I'm starting to think deltro is bipolar.

I saw this game quite a while ago, when it was first taken on by Valve. Very awesome concept for a game, and the alpha thing is fun to play with for a good long amount of time.

Insanely cool. Everyone download and try it

I figured out how to create an infinite fall, since that's something I've been trying to do since I started the game. It's pretty neat.

1) Switch to first-person view. (1 key.)
2) Create a blue portal in the ceiling somewhere, anywhere. (Preferably not over lava.)
3) DO NOT MOVE AT ALL from this point on.
4) Look down as far as you can look, then create a red portal (right where you're standing, right underneath you.)
5) You'll fall through it, and land immediately underneath your blue portal.
6) Repeat Step 4.
7) Enjoy falling forever. Man, if only this were possible in real life...

NOTE: I left my computer for 20 minutes and came back and I was still falling. It's safe to say that the fall lasts forever.

You get more of an illusion of speed if you do this in low-ceiling rooms, and more of an illusion of height if you do it in huge atria.

I only downloaded it after reading Chardish's post. For future reference, please explain what things are when you post them. Hell, you coulda just copied the basic gameplay summary from the FAQ. If I had known what this was, I would have been all over it right away.

Omeganitros · 08-6-2005, 01:16 PM

Of, you could trust my judgement.

evilbutterfly · 08-6-2005, 07:55 PM

Or you could spell or correctly? =P

But I probably should trust your judgement, it's just some things I don't wanna bother with whereas you may have a grand ole time fiddling with it. Like, some of the YTMNDs you love I don't find utterly amusing like you do. We don't have the exact same tastes, ya know.
