Balls to the main menu and loading screenBallisticsfood03/12/2008 - 13:12

Has anyone else discovered the little goo-ball fun to be had on the main menu? Has anyone found any other hidden games / fun stuff?

Also, why are you placating your publishers? Spinning violently around the Y axis I can understand, and Homogenising goo is obviously required, but are your publishers really that irate?

Try getting them in orbit too! It's really more fun than it should be...

Thanks for pointing this out. I now spend altogether too much time at the main menu.

I resurrect this thread to point out this little gem of menu-design!
I discovered it today when I noticed grab marks appearing when hovering the cursor on the balls!
I haven't managed to launch a ball in a constant orbit yet, but I'll devise a goo planetarium before soon!
