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)
  • ...

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" ; )
