Product Description:

Bubblegym is to my knowledge the first tilt-sensitive game for notebook computers. When Apple revised their Powerbook line earlier this year, they added Sudden Motion Sensor (SMS), a detector that is used to protect the hard drive if the machine gets dropped. Chances are, they probably weren't expecting it to be used as a video game controller. Please enjoy!

What's new in this version:

  • Universal binary.
  • Updated default behavior for many new models.
  • Most MacBooks and MacBook Pro laptops are "goofy"! Please send a feedback email if the tilting feels backward on your particular machine.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.3.9
  • Mac OS X 10.3
  • Mac OS X 10.2
  • Mac OS X 10.1
  • Mac OS X 10.0

Additional Requirements:

  • Tilt functionality requires a computer equipped with an Apple Motion Sensor. This includes all the 12", 15", and 17" Powerbooks G4, and all iBooks released after March 2005, as well as all Intel portable machines. The application was created to run under Mac OS X and was tested only on version 10.4.7.

Bubblegym CommentaryVery Poor Demo - Version: 0.7.0, 8/16/2006 03:36AM PST

It seems to work okay, but the demo only lets you play for about 5 seconds, which makes it a waste of bandwidth to download.

This might "work" on Intel macs, but it's still a PowerPC binary. My machine gets really hot playing it, which isn't a good thing when you have to hold your laptop to play.
