Project Information
Launchball's aim is to guide a metal ball to a goal by mastering physics-related building blocks in this science puzzler. A level designer allows players to roll their own to share with friends; over 65,000 levels were created within the first six months.
Aimed at 8-14 children as an educational tool, the game quickly spread beyond its remit. Digg’d over a thousand times, blogged about globally and fans posting video walk-throughs to YouTube ensured it's success. A Google search for Launchball game returns 40,000+ results. In the first six months the game attracted over 2.8 million plays rising at a rate of 200,000+ new visitors monthly. To date, the game has received over 10 million plays.
