Space Curling FFE is a simple & cool 3D curling game with adjustable: tempo, number of ends (rounds) per match, number of throws per end, all colors and many other parameters. Remember to try the Stone Model Editor! FFE = Family & Friends Edition = Local Multiplayer Only.

Space Curling FFE Gameplay (click here to watch 1080p/30fps)

Hint: Select 1080p manually if not auto-selected by YT.

Current state of this project is "already enjoyable and almost finished (~95%)". It's possible to play and finish a match (local multiplayer*, 2-8 players). The game should be fully finished within weeks. After purchase, all future updates may be downloaded for free.

* Local multiplayer in this case means "the same computer". The game is fully controllable by mouse, fully controllable by keyboard and fully controllable by gamepad.

What a throw! - Space Curling FFE

Hint: Select 1080p manually if not auto-selected by YT.

Soon:

• sweeping - at the moment there are two simplified game modes without sweeping, please note that most probably these modes are better for playing with high game tempo values
• Linux version
• possibly: interface & graphics improvements
• possibly: player(s) vs CPU (but rather not)
• ...

• to choose the throw direction move the mouse left/right before pressing a button (or [left/right arrow, optionally with Ctrl or Shift])
• to throw a stone press and hold the [Left Mouse Button], wait a moment to built-up power and then release the [LMB] (or [Delete], or [Insert-and-then-Delete])
• to adjust the direction and the intensity of curl, move the mouse left/right while the [LMB] is pressed (or [Delete], or after [Insert] but before [Delete])

Space Curling FFE simplifications:

• simplified stone model with labels (numbers), lit when moving and because of other reasons (e.g. the final result of an end) - this is going to be changed soon
• simplified curling mechanics (only to the first collision)

Small font disclaimer

Please note that online multiplayer mode in Space Curling FFE is not planned. FFE means "Family & Friends Edition (players need to be in the same room)", but also "no resources to implement & manage an online multiplayer server" ; )
