Trackballs for MorphOS
======================
Trackballs is a game in the spirit of Marble Madness: steer a marble
through 3D labyrinths floating in the sky, full of ramps, spikes, pipes,
trampolines, moving platforms, switches and enemies, before the time runs
out. It comes with several level sets and a built-in map editor; the levels
are scripted in Scheme (Guile, included).
HOW TO RUN IT
-------------
Double-click the Trackballs icon. Settings, highscores and your own levels
are saved in the ".trackballs" drawer next to the game.
CONTROLS
--------
Mouse steer the marble (menus too)
Left button jump
Right button accelerate (with a nitro bonus)
Cursor keys steer with the keyboard
Space jump / continue
Return accelerate (with a nitro bonus)
Escape back to the menu / quit
Alt + Return switch between window and full screen (also Ctrl + F)
Caps Lock free the mouse pointer
Gamepad: when a gamepad is plugged in at the first start it is enabled
automatically (it can be changed in Settings). Stick or d-pad steers, first
button jumps, second button accelerates.
