Polly-B-Gone

POLLY-B-GONE is a 3D physics platform game that tells the story of a plucky wheeled robot named Polly, who has been imprisoned by the nefarious Dr. Nurbs in his laboratory. Polly must overcome a series of increasingly-elaborate obstacles to escape and regain her freedom.

Good news, everyone! Polly won the grand prize in the 10th annual CS 248 video game competition!

Download

POLLY-B-GONE is currently available only for Mac OS X. It has only been tested on 10.5 (Leopard), but it probably works on earlier versions. Let me know if you have any problems, and I'll do my best to fix it promptly.

Download polly-1.0.dmg.zip.

If anyone wants to port the game to Windows, Linux, or other platforms (or make other modifications!), you can download the source below. It should be relatively straightforward since the game uses OpenGL and SDL.
