I need to ask a question. I don't know how to play Krank. It looks lovely but where are the instructions?

Hallelujah! Just found it. I downloaded version 6. I found the info by Clicking on Krank 0.7 that's on the screen that popped up after I hit post review. Thank you! It's a really pleasant little game! Mary

Version 0.7

clever gameplay + cool graphics + nice soundtrack = great game! reported a minor glitch and the developer was very responsive too. thanks!

Version .06

No documentation, screen artifacts (scoreboard and some of the balls), cranks up the processor and heats up the CPU on my G5 iMac. Looks nice and sounds nice, but not ready for prime time.

Version .05

and this is the crash log when launched "properly" *grin* : Date/Time: 2007-02-06 20:07:37.637 +0100 OS Version: 10.4.8 (Build 8L2127) Report Version: 4 Command: krank Path: /Applications/Spil/krank.app/Contents/MacOS/krank Parent: WindowServer [65] Version: 4 (4) PID: 10958 Thread: 0 Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001) Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x90aa0ef4 ... Ouch.

Thanks. I actually did that - but this case was the very first time an app would crash on me!

...when launched from a .dmg, that is...

I didn't have any crashes on my powerbook w/10.4.9. But, it is...weird. Some documentation would help immensely. The object appears to be to move the cursor around, which causes a small cluster of balls to follow you. You use that cluster of balls to knock smaller balls into larger balls. They get stuck together, explode (for some reason), and then you advance to the next level. I only got that far by getting lucky, and I almost gave up before getting that far. Again, no docs that I could see. It's more like a surrealist or expressionist concept of a game, than an actual game. The control needs work, and some documentation would be nice. But the music is very soothing and it looks reasonably pretty.
