Coming Soon From PDAmill: Flux Challenge!
"Flux Challenge is our upcoming 3D racing game. This unique racer revolves around a world of magnetic-levitation tunnels. While originally designed for mass transportation, it soon spawned many underground ship-racing circuits and eventually became one of the largest international championship sports. Take control of one of these magilev ships, and become the international champion!
This is an ALPHA version, meaning many of the game features are incomplete, others might be broken. It might not even run on all Pocket PCs, etc. Graphics, controls, sounds and many most of the other stuff will change significantly in the final version. With this in mind, I think you'll have some fun trying it."
Kudos to PDAmill for releasing an alpha version to the public for feedback. The screenshots look very tight, and if they're using the Anthelion engine, they'll get better still as the game chugs toward production. Check it out!

This looks cool! And I'm impressed that they are willing to give an incomplete version to the public! Great idea! Open your program up to millions of bug testers. :wink:
The graphics remind me of Microsoft's Hellbender...anyone remember that? :mrgreen:

Not bad for an alpha. It even runs pretty good on my iPaq 3870. 8)

OMG lol...what a game. I used to keep my Win95 CD around just so I could play that. I should find it again sometime.
But this game didn't really remind me of that...hellbender is a hovercraft...and you're not going through a tunnel. :|

Why not? At least they say it's an alpha now, rather than actually release it, charge for it, and then based on the same feedback release "updates", as seems often the case these days...
I think the warning is clear and unambiguous. Those who download it are likely to be people who are happy to debug software or take the time to send in bug reports at least...
Good to see an upfront approach.
This really looks like Wipeout...never saw Hellbender...

I'm not saying that the game looks like Hellbender, just the graphics. It's just what came to mind when I saw the screenshots...:roll:
Back to topic, though...I can't wait to try this game. I've got a new PPC arriving in the mail tomorrow, so I'm not going to bother trying it on my current device. I'll report back tomorrow with what I think. :mrgreen:

Anyway, I'm getting an i-Mate (aka XDA II). I'm really excited about it...and it's 128MB RAM will allow me to install lots of games like this! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
