Paddle Wars: Hit The Wall
speeder:
So, I am making a game that will feature a custom cabinet and hardware :D (although it will be PC, GNU/Linux based).
The game is almost done, and has a trailer:
The cabinet is still in design stage, but I intend to finish it VERY fast (it will be displayed in a event mid-january).
Today the stuff from Happ and Ultimarc arrived ( 3'' high trackball, not-chrome superlux and mini-pac).
I am designing the control panel now :D
More info, and old prototype is available on IndieDB http://www.indiedb.com/games/paddle-wars-hit-the-wall

Nice job, it looks interesting. Like Geometry Wars meets Arkanoid.
Does your paddle only go from side to side? I was just thinking wouldn't it be better if you got a spinner instead of a trackball?
speeder:
The trackball is to aim the ball, and some special powers that I will create later (like a black hole, that sucks everything toward the cursor, for example...)

looks fun. if i understand. you will use a trackball to aim and a spinner for the paddle. if so i like the idea. adds more depth to the game play.. sorta bowling/break out/?? heh. look forward to seeing the cab.
