In Ballance, players need to manipulate a [[ball]] of which the physical properties can be transformed to travel through large and complex maze buildings built in high altitude or space, avoid traps and solve puzzles, and finally reach the end [[飞船]] to complete a level. The game provides 13 [[原版关卡|关卡]] that are roughly increasing in difficulty for players to explore (level 13 is downloadable content, but existing installation packages generally include level 13), and set a score system to attract players to challenge to more Complete the level at a high level to get better results.

Ballance is a 3D video game developed by German studio Cyparade, published by Atari and released in 2004.

In Ballance, players need to manipulate a ball of which the physical properties can be transformed to travel through large and complex mazes in space, avoid traps and solve puzzles, and finally reach the balloons to complete the level. The game provides 13 original levels with roughly increasing difficulties for players to explore (level 13 is the downloadable content, but current installation packages generally include level 13), and a score system to attract players to challenge to get better results. In addition, the very real physics engine makes the manipulation of balls feel very close to that in real life, which greatly improves the playability of the game, and enables players to fully experience the effect of gravity, eventually feeling the charm of "balance".

Ballance comes with 5 languages by default, including German, French, English, Spanish, and Italian. However, the fan-made Chinese version also exists in Chinese Ballance Forum, which is available as a patch.

System requirements

Ballance, like other Games, requires a certain level of performance from the player's computer to work. But because it was released so long ago, most computers today can run it.

The requirements for the Computer configuration can be found in the documentation included with the original Ballance installation file, which is excerpted here for your reference only:

Hardware / software Minimum requirement Recommendation Requirement
Ram 64 MB 128 MB
Hard disk space 150 MB More than 150 MB
CPU 350 MHz Intel Pentium II 450 MHz INTEL Pentium III
Display card Integrated Graphics Card A 3d graphics card with a minimum of 16 MB Ram
Driver CD-ROM CD-ROM
Operating System Windows 98(No WindowsNT) Windows ME / 2000 / XP
DirectXVersion 8.1 Greater than 8.1

In addition,,Ballance is largely incompatible with the configuration of today's computers.As a result, the runtime often fails to perform as well as computers do today,This resulted in Cottonwood, frame dropping, and other serious bugsBUG。If you want to optimize the performance of Ballance, see Ballance optimization:Ballance的优化

Bugs, glitches and level design issues

主条目: Ballance漏洞

Ballance has many bugs like other games. They can be harmful, causing the game to crash and frightening the player due to the sudden appearance; they can also be beneficial to the progress of the game and are recognized for use in racing.

In addition, due to the mistakes of the creators during the production of the original level map, the ball may be stuck in some cases, unable to move or completely unable to continue the game.They are:

  • 欲死不能 The player's ball is stuck in a certain area and cannot commit suicide or escape. Without a suicide device, the player has to restart the game.
  • 欲生不能 Players can't pass the game if they change the wrong ball attributes, and the map logic design error makes it impossible to change the ball attributes even after suicide and rebirth. They can only restart the game.

History

Ballance was designed by Klaus Riech, developed by Cyparade and published by Atari on 2 April 2004 (Europe), with the music composer being Mona Mur; its North America version was released on 25 October 2006. Its offical website was http://www.ballance.org/, however, after 2006, no new news was added and this website has been shut down since 2009.

As of now, everything about Ballance's official information is very scarce. This game mainly relies on player groups to research, support and publicize themselves.
