http://www.freeverse.com/braingames/

Can't wait to check it out, Aarku--downloading now!

(Reactor is free for 48 hours!)

Feel free to delete and replace with a more official announcement

 

Jon this is a great game, congrats! Lots of fun, great style, I can't wait for all of them to be released! Kudos to all of you that worked on it, and to OTEE! Jeff

 

Love it! Now I'll have to buy the other games come December, won't I?

Great soft, spacey effects on the pieces, and looks nice at 1920x1200!

Oh, also fun to play Seems like someone should be bundling those Brain Games with Macs!

3D really does give a nice polish to a 2D concept.

 

congrats! an' all that other stuff...

 

Way to go, Jon! I must download this when I get home!

 

I quickly found the glare FX when you abuse the sun character

 

Yahooo! Great job!

 

I really like the game altough I got bored with it after a while. The overall feel is excelent, the gameplay good and the graphics difinatly nice enough I love the starting animation where the annoying god guy blows up the asteroid . Bugged me that it seems like the brain usage only goes up the more you play. I only got to 7% even though I totally pwned the mid range course.

 

A fantastic job!!!!

 

This is awesome, very addictive.

I eagle like a beagle

 

Downloading now... can't wait!

Update: excellent! worth every minute!

 

I've been hooked on this since I saw an early version at WWDC. Now I have as enough levels to really waste some time.

Congrats guys.

Thank you, all!

That's really some terrific stuff there Jon. I played the last hard level several times because it's really satisfying when you finally find that sweet chain reaction. It plays very solid, I only had one hiccup the first time I started the game because my screen was set to a very high resolution and the graphics went into that out of VRAM glitchy look.

The sound effects are fantastic, as is the music. And just when you're getting slightly annoyed with the "beagle...d", he throws a new saying out there.

Anyway, mad kudos and all that. I can't wait to see how some of the other puzzle games play because this one is a perfect example of simple rules with addictive gameplay.

 

Great job Jon! I have always like thinking games. Very fun.

 

Thank you! (Thank you all!)

The taco quote is a play on a quote from one of my favorite things, where And/Or and Ruby are summoning The Great Nikola Tesla from the 5th dimension on the planet Venus.

Jon,

I was on the third set of levels and really enjoying this when the game froze hard and then after a lot of disk activity it fell back to the desktop with a crash message. Would you like me to email the crash log to you so you can keep track of any issues ?

I would like to figure out all issues with the game, but Freeverse is going to be handling support (no way I could manage it myself) so I would kindly ask you to contact their support.

Thanks,
-Jon

 

Ah yes, Ruby - I prefer the Jack Flanders series, personally

 

Hooray, someone has heard of these! The Jack Flanders series is also one of my favorite things with The Incredible Adventures topping the list.

Congratulations, aarku! And here I was thinking all you did was sit around the forums offering crucial advice. :wink:

 

awesome aarku - really nice touches all around.

i love how the eyes cross if you move the cursor between them. its the little things like that which give the game alot of personality. runs great with no problems on an intel imac.

 

Thanks for the kind words, glad you all like Reaction. It's probably my favorite game out of the bunch (although, I admit, NovaSweeper has taken away some development time).

 

Congrats on the release guys! Great work!

I haven't played it, but I got to see a sneak-peak gameplay video ;-)

Nice work,
-Jeremy

 

Jon,
I want to add my kudos to those already posted for Big Bang Reaction. I have to confess that I am not a hard-core gamer, mainly because of many other committments in real life.

I found myself loving Big Bang Reaction for three major reasons.

First, it looks superb. The effects are magical, especially on my 1900 x1200 screen.

Second, like any good puzzle game like it, it is deceptively simple yet addictive, at least for a while. I can't say I've mastered it yet, but have worked up through the levels. It seems like there's plenty of room to try to learn more sophisticated strategies and spot more complicated patterns.

Third, and perhaps most important to my positive feelings about playing the game, is that the theme is gentle and non-violent. I love the visual effects, and am grateful that they aren't themed aroud shooting things or killing things. The music is peaceful and sort of gets you into the zone of wanting to play more. It's also a game I'm happy to have my 6-year old play.

So thanks and good luck with the launch of the rest of them!

Best,
Steve
