Portal Pinball 4.1 (GlaDOS Edition)

A new version of Portal Pinball, with improved mechanics and score/rank system. First version out of beta.


***WHAT'S NEW: (4.1 - GlaDOS Edition)

4.1:

- Better visuals
- Most Exploits fixed
- Better pads/flips

4.0:

- New GlaDOS theme to break the boredom;
- Completely fixed all light issues, raising performance even in slower machines, and improved the effects as well;
- Map size is considerably smaller due to optimizations;
- Fixed the ending bug, now you can get the elevator and vote;
- Possibly, all visible bugs are fixed; Tell me if you find anything strange;
- Added a Rank system, depending on your score; It will be further worked in a near future;
- Now you can effectively lose the game, in a not pleasant way;
- More sustain of the gameplay, with more obstacles;
- New flips truly ressemble a real pinball table's mechanics (will be further improved);
- Raised the difficulty level considerably; Some people will need to play with less balls than before;
- Replaced several useless instances with more clever and less expensive solutions (like vertex manipulations);
- Removed the central block with a sling, so the central flips got more space to work, and to receive ball attacks as well;
- Updated instructions with a few more tips;
- Removed old jokes from the description;


- Score system included:

- - Slingshots (in the left): 1000
- - Top core: 2000
- - Red core: 3000
- - Blue core: 4000
- - Laser "kiss": 10.000
- - Buttons: 10.000
- - Portals: 20.000 (10k per entrance/exit)
- - Barricade: 2.000 per siege attack

And others scores which I forgot.

(Please don't decompile the score system without asking me first or mentioning the source in your map, since the idea came entirely from me and nowhere else, and took me many hours to develop.)


*** KNOWN ISSUES:

- Sometimes the main flips get stuck, but do not interfer in the game, it's just a visual bug due to simultaneous collision detection by Source.

- A possible exploit that prevents losing the game (but also makes it impossible to win, so...)


***COMING SOON***

- Better visuals;
- General physics and environment polishment;
- Extra balls;
- Wheatley version;
- 100% bug free version.
- Winning script to reward the player's efforts;
- And more.


***DONT BOTHER ME WITH***

- Game's too easy
- Game's too hard
- Game's too medium

- Well, the gameplay heuristic algorythm, acording to Sophocles,... (no nerd crap please)



Game's generally, but not totally, RANDOM, you can win in a few minutes, or you can take several minutes or more to complete. In one of my games the machine delivered the three balls in the exact end spots. Like a ... hole in one.. ya know. But in the recent versions, this is not possible anymore. Now with the score and rank system, you will wish the game lasts longer, but not enough to prevent you from winning. Try to find the balance to hit a big score and a high rank!

Learn to master the flips, they MAKE a difference in the gameplay. Now with the new flip system and game's mechanics, you must be active to obtain success.


*** INSTRUCTIONS:

Objective: fill the 3 sphere holes with spheres, to disable GlaDOS capacitors from storing energy;

Left pedestal button: Instructions (in case you forget in game)

Ground button: flips (jump to flip). You will stay over this button for the entire game.

Right pedestals: "insert coin" pedestals. You can play with one, two or three balls at the same time. If you lose a ball, the machine will give you a new one for no aditional coin. Just be patient and wait the delivery system.

Have fun. Feedbacks are welcome.
