Here are a couple of orbz 3 screenshots for your viewing pleasure:
www.gamingprojects.com/o3lobby.jpg
www.gamingprojects.com/ringer.jpg
The first screenshot shows off the redesigned lobby interface. Ill detail a few changes that you will certainly notice if you are an orbz fan.

-The host may set 0-3 bonus stars to spawn for the match.
-The host may set a point limit for the match.
-The host may turn global powerups on or off.
-The host may toggle team play. Teams are automatically balanced when first toggled on. However, the host may manually move team members around.

The second screenshot shows off a new orb: RINGER!

I will not list all the changes, but these should get you 2.1'ers by for a bit longer!

Good stuff man!

Nice to see a taste of what is to come. Those two levels look pretty cool... although I may be a little biased towards Egpytian style levels. :-)

That auother setting is a nice touch too.... good to know who will be making those custom levels when O3 is out.

Sand Dunes... I love Sand Dunes.

Well GG has an Orbz Arcade cabinet here at universal headquarters and its definately effected productivity. My high score was downed by Ben Woodhead before he left to go back to somewhere no one has ever heard of in Canada.

Orbz on coin-op is a total quarter sucker and I can't wait to play more Orbz 3 - I had to settle for watching the fun at IGC and so far no one has made me an OS X build... someone tell me we'll get to have more Orbz goodness to ship for Xmas.

If you have been a good boy this year Jay, Santa may just bring you O3 for Xmas :)

Drooling here in anticipation !
Looks absolutely delightful and the changes should make play more interesting and challenging.
Thanks for sharing a tidbit :-)

This looks FANTASTIC!!!

I'm off to the Department of Justice to work overtime so I can afford the new game. Heheh... heh!

Orbz 2 needs to be previewed on "XPlay" and performed on "Arena"... both shows are on G4TTV, channel 191 on Dish Network.

But is it EVER going to be released?! I didn't think it would be possible....but even I am suffering symptoms of burnout...same levels...same orbs...same...old...old......!?


I have been holding money a player sent me that lives in Europe....American money so I can purchase Orbz3 for him since he has no credit card. Would love to email him with a download attached...maybe this year, guys?
