Previews and an interview!

Some new stuff popped up on the internet! Some of these have already been out for a few days, but we've had too much other news the past few days to post about this.
Bigdownload.com interviewed us. Here is an excerpt:

    What are some of the interesting properties that you can do with the ball in the game? There are so many things you can do with it! You use the Ball to power up a massive chariot, for example. The Ball basically acts as the horse, pulling the massive vehicle forward. Another cool thing is what we call "the nail Ball". The Ball magnetizes and pulls these big iron nails out the wood in the surrounding environment. The nails stick to the surface of the Ball for a while, until you reverse the magnetization and all the nails shoot away with great force. A giant frag grenade!

And some more previews...The game has received 19 previews so far!
