Colibricks is an exciting brick game for the Macintosh. As in other similar brick games, the goal is to destroy the bricks on the screen using one or more balls. But for the first time in brick game history, these balls actually behave like real balls! When a ball hits the corner of a brick, it doesn't just go back in the direction it came from. Instead, the exact point of impact is calculated, and the ball bounces off the corner just like a real ball would. Balls also collide with each other, again using precise mathematical formulas. But of course it's also a lot of fun to play! Colibricks features rotated bricks, so instead of boring horizontal grids, you'll get circles, spirals, and all kinds of other combinations. And different kinds of bricks can activate lots of special effects. Some give you extra lives, or equipment like the laser. Others will split the ball into several new balls, slow it down or speed it up, make it bigger or smaller, etc... Did I mention balls can have any size? From a tiny speck to a giant boulder with appropriate weights, naturally. Lots of time also went into the graphics. Bricks are beautifully rendered 3D shapes. And the balls are rendered in real time at fractional pixel positions. So balls can move very, very slowly in a smooth way instead of jumping one pixel at a time. And all this is drawn over a beautiful collection of backgrounds. Colibricks also has a training mode, so you can play at any speed, use more balls, etc... And a level editor is now included as well! Colibricks is native for MacOS X, but also works on classic MacOS.
