    MotorbikeVR

    When you put on your VR headset your brain gets hacked. Automatically, you feel fully immersed in a Motorbike landscape, surrounded by mountains and the blue sky with cotton clouds, you can hear the wind blowing, birds and waterfalls around. In front of you is the whole track, all obstacles and the rider on the bike, ready to run.

    Using the keyboard or a gamepad you start controlling the rider the same way you play on the desktop version. Game on!. While your main point of view slowly follows the ride, you can still move your head around to check on the environment, the obstacles and the bike from all angles.

    Enjoy Blast on your TV

    11/11/15 11:12
    Blast_AppleTV2

    A few weeks before releasing the new AppleTV to the public, Apple sent us a development unit. Then, after evaluating the input/control options we decided to port our beloved Blast. Since tvOS is very similar to iOS most of the game was already coded, the only work necessary was to adapt the remote input (trackpad and gyro), optional gamepad input, and rewrite the user interface to respond to these new input controls.

    The result is awesome. Playing Blast in a big-screen with big-sound improves the experience considerably. Using a gamepad instead of the remote is highly recommended.

    Motorbike for Oculus Review by UploadVR

    05/12/14 13:33

    Motorbike could be the first ‘Angry Birds’ of VR

    “Ever since I got my DK2 I have been voraciously devouring as many demos as I possibly can (although I am limited at the moment by my older MacBook) and have loved every second of it. But there is one game that has pulled me back slightly more than the rest so far, if only because its so easy to pick up and play for ten minutes; and that game is MotorBike”


    Motorbike for Oculus Rift

    01/12/14 13:15
    Screen Shot 2014-12-01 at 1.20.15 PM

    After receiving our Development Kit a few weeks ago, we thought that Motorbike would generate great immersive experiences for the Rift head-mounted display.

    At the beginning we placed the virtual camera on the riders head, but it turned out that all those sudden moves and accelerations induce disorientation and dizziness. Then we experimented with other ways to control the camera without good results, until we figured out a nice solution by miniaturizing the world and slowly translating the camera only on X and Y axes.

    The result is wonderful. When playing with the Rift, you can rotate your head to check the world around you, and you can move closer of far away from the action in real time. In a few words, you feel that you are inside the game.

    The guys at Rift Arcade posted a play session on YouTube. We just wish it would be another way to present the experience.

If traced correctly a new curve is created with an increased level of difficulty.

    La physique de la moto n’est pas en reste, celle-ci étant de haute-qualité et c’est bien sûr grâce à cela que l’on plonge avec plaisir dans le jeu, à peine fut-il lancé. On ne se sent jamais lésé par le gameplay, par cette physique, on sait que si l’on rate c’est forcément de notre faute. Et l’on peut vous garantir que l’on s’en veut souvent. Même si le logiciel reste accessible, avec certaines pistes faciles et d’autres qu’il faudra étudier quelques fois, on en découvrira des ultra relevées, qui feront s’arracher les cheveux de bien des gamers. Mais ce côté die and retry fonctionne très bien, car l’on retente encore et encore, en se disant » Là il faut que j’accélère, là je dois me diriger ainsi, rah j’y étais presque… « . Les développeurs savent aussi bien jouer sur cette corde, que sur nos nerfs avec certains parcours abracadabrantesques.

    There's nothing like getting together with a few friends (or a computer) to play a quick game of Yatzy.

    Yatzy is the popular dice game played in a variety of ways all over the world. This baKno version was developed with a physics engine so the dice roll out of a cup and bounce on the table with realistic forces of nature. The game includes five versions of Yatzy plus a variety of settings that allow you to customize your own version of the game.

    The "Classic" version is Yatzy with specific variants that were introduced in the USA. "Kniffel" is the type of Yatzy played in Germany, "Generala" is the Spanish version, and "Yacht" is the oldest and original game from Canada. Most importantly, Yatzy by baKno allows you to create your own version of the game by changing a multitude of rules and settings.

    Try Yatzy for free! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

    Motorbike HD Reviewed by Cranky Gamers

    06/10/12 10:22

    CrankyGamers

    It’s time for all you adrenaline junkies to saddle up as you ride out to perform some incredible stunts and bone-crushing manoeuvres on over 80 obstacle strewn courses in what could well be the mobile equivalent to Trials HD.

    Motorbike HD by developer baKno games is a rather straightforward but nonetheless challenging Motorsport title; here the gameplay basically consists of linear tracks with various unconventional obstacles to overcome that become increasingly difficult as you progress through the game.

    The first thing that I noticed about Motorbike HD is the realistic bike physics which can sometimes be both impressive and frustrating, especially to the uninitiated who may not be aware of the complexities involved in manoeuvring a two wheeled machine over uneven surfaces! Controls consist of four unmarked buttons for accelerate/brake, lean forward/lean backward; tapping this combination correctly requires an element of skill and understanding of real life physics which might not be everyone’s cup of tea. The word of the day here is ‘balance’ and this will take some time to master, giving the game a degree of challenge that should keep casual gamers occupied for some time….

    Motorbike se nos presenta como un juego de motocross lleno de acción y efectos. Podríamos dividirlo en dos partes fundamentales:

    - El modo principal dispone de 40 pistas. Puedes seleccionar distintos tipos de fondos y pilotos. Además, permite jugar pistas online que otros jugadores han compartido y me consta que son muchísimas. Conforme vayamos avanzando, el reto va siendo mayor.

    - El editor del juego nos permite, básicamente, hacer todo lo que queramos: desde indicar el tipo de terreno, fondo, poner barras, barriles, contenedores, escaleras, minas, tuberías, railes, rampas, guillotinas, elevadores, rocas, neumáticos, coches, clavos, checkpoints, etc. En definitiva, dispones de todas las herramientas para diseñar el nivel como quieras, creando verdaderas locuras. El editor permite guardar la pista, cargarla, editarla cuando quieras e incluso subirlo a la red, y compartir tus creaciones.

    Aunque Motorbike esta en inglés no representa problema alguno; la b.s.o es bastante aceptable; y está muy bien gráficamente. Su punto verdaderamente fuerte es el motor de física realista que permite hacer todos los trucos que un motorista de carreras realizaría y te dejará con la boca abierta.

    Pinball HD reviewed by The Apple Clan

    22/12/11 09:01

    tac_logo4

    Pinball HD makes the most of everything the iPhone has to offer to create a nice, very smooth gameplay experience that flows well and is not at all herky jerky. The camera control feature is neat, allowing you to see the table from all angles. The controls respond well, although I had a better experience on the iPad but again, that is just the way it goes.

    Nice graphics and smooth navigation aside it is the “extra” features that got me excited about this app. Attractive, colorful visuals are nice but if you cannot do very much with them it gets pretty old pretty fast. The fact that a lot of pinball apps limit you to x number of tables (often with the chance to get x more as an in app purchase) is fine but with Pinball HD you gain access to unlimited tables.

    How? Because of the table creator. Pinball HD lets you take all kinds of elements and use them to create your own table. It is the same concept as the level creators in console games like Little Big Planet. And once you have created your own table you can share your artistry and skill online, letting other play your creation while you give theirs a try.

    This app certainly deserves the HD part of its name! Motorbike HD boasts realistic physics and great graphics. To begin with, the tracks are set in gorgeous natural areas. Under the app’s settings, you can choose which terrain you would like to race on–mountain, desert, and coaster. The mountainous region, for instance, is set in green mountains, with looming mountains in the backdrop. Even though iPhone screens are small, you can get into the whole feel of the game and seem like you are actually there.

    Besides life-like settings, the bike movements, the track, the obstacles littered about, the bikes themselves, and even the riders all appear realistic. The bike moves right with the track’s terrain, your rider’s movements coordinating with all the jolts of the ride. Whenever you crash, the rider falls off and rolls along as if he or she had actually crashed.

    The highlight of the gameplay includes the track editor, where you can use the same tool the creators used to make the original tracks. You can customize current tracks or completely make your own. Set the terrain and the height of the track. Then include as many obstacles as you like. Save them to play yourself, or upload them online for others to play, too. This editor, along with a constant array of tracks, gives this app a 4/5 in gameplay.

    Motorbike ist ein realistisches, kniffliges Motorsport Game für den Mac. Deine Aufgabe als Motorradfahrer besteht darin verschiedene Parkure abzufahren. In den Parkuren sind viele Hindernisse und Schanzen die deine Fähigkeiten auf die Probe stellen und dabei hilft nicht immer voll aufs Gas! Manchmal ist Maßarbeit gefragt, denn du musst Punktgenau auf einem Plato landen oder dich geduckt so durch ein Rohr zwängen.

    ... Mein Fazit ist, dass Motorbike eine menge Spielspaß bietet und durch den Editor kann jeder seine eigenen Vorstellungen eines kniffligen Levels verwirklichen. Deshalb bekommt Motorbike von mir eine Empfehlung für alle die das Egoshooter rumgeballer satt haben und statt dessen lieber mal einen Kniffligen Parkur mit dem Motorrad abfahren.

    Finding innovation in any genre tends to become equivalent to searching for a needle in a haystack, nevertheless baKno has not only achieved this with including a incredibly deep level creator in Motorbike, we now witness baKno pushing the racing genre by including an extraordinary randomized track creator in Island Racer.

    ...This feature goes way beyond anything that we imagined here at the studio, instead of courses that would be reminiscent of a flat slot car track, the tracks themselves are unique with each creation (ohh, and it creates these tracks fast!).

    ...We have often experienced gimmicky in innovation but we can happily say that’s not the case here. The randomized track creator is acutely executed giving you limitless tracks and we hope to see more of this in future games.

    The game is not massive, but with a track editor and online feature too, then its size will be determined by its love of the public and their dedication to creating some great tracks. I have already played a few of the online tracks and the quality is already surprising. The game has a simple track editor which you can get to grips with very quickly and easily.

    Being that this is a trials game I guess the most important part are the physics of it all. Thankfully they seem to work fairly well with barrels feeling weighty, wooden beams pivoting well depending on the location of your bike etc. You use the arrow keys of up to accelerate, down for reverse, space to break and left and right to shift your weight accordingly.

    Motorbike is one of those, I hate saying this because it sounds cheesy but ‘easy to play but hard to master’ games. The first few courses ease you into the simplicity of the games physics then ramps up the difficulty by having you traverse on some of the most demented courses ever concocted.

    ... While there’s plenty of pre-created levels to conquer, there’s also an intuitive stage creator that allows you to create everything that’s used in the pre-made courses. Yes, everything including the terrain. The ease of creating your terrain is absolutely brilliant. Placing the objects incorporates a very friendly UI interface as well; that’s as simple as dragging and dropping (I love clean-lined UI) ...

    Motorbike is an addictive physics racer that anyone can pick up and play. Plus we love the track editor and the healthy community.

    “The first thing anyone would point out is the graphics. The amount of detail in the cars and scenery around them is incredible. Realism is one of the games best features. Different cars perform better on different tracks, make different engine noises and much more. During the game you can enjoy driving around the maps on your own, against a computer or even online against your friends who have the game. This all sounds great but what really makes the game unique and fun is your ability to ditch the roads and take your car anywhere you want. There are no invisible boundaries. When you’re not driving into the water you can jump off cliffs and use many of the obstacles provided around the maps.”

    MacPool 8.3 Released

    17/10/07 23:15

    We are very proud of the new feature contained in this version: Shot Saving Capability.

    Now you can save your last shot as a Flash animation, yes, "animation" not movie, and this means that the generated file is very small (60K-80K), so now you are able to record your best shots and share them by email or even post them in webpages because Flash is the standard in web animation.

    This was one of the most demanding developments so far. Flash files are very complex, they don't waste storage space, therefore we were forced to work at bit level in order to generate a Flash compliant file from within MacPool.
