Hey Tribute,
Good job on this title. It’s a rad game and I hope more people will be exposed to it with the multi-platform support.
This may not be the place to ask, but I’m trying to get this to be playable via a PS3 gamepad on OSX. Is there any way for me to map the controls manually or are the options restricted to mouse & keyboard??
Hey Terry,
You can manually set the controller configs by editing /Users[USER]LibraryApplication SupportTribute GamesWizorbSettings.xml
It’s not super user friendly but I’m sure you can figure it out.
If you need more help. Don’t hesitate to e-mail us at info@tributegames.com
Cheers
Is there any chance you’ll be bringing this game to iOS (iPhone/iPod touch/iPad)? I tried the XBIG version and it’s great except that I can’t get the hang of playing with an analog stick. I don’t game on my computer, and a touchscreen version would work awesomely good, I think. Would love to see this happen and it would definitely be a day 1 purchase for me.
I want to purchase it for Linux, but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be available from a website which accepts Google Checkout. Oh well, it’ll probably make HIB at some point.
And why do the websites want to have the address, plus make an account? HIB gets it right: simple and fast order process.
It’s on HIB now, as a new addition to HB6, along with bit.trip runner and Jamestown, as well as the games already in the bundle previously.
Pingback: Weekly Indie Update (Week 51 of 2011)
Hey, just got this with the Humble Indie Bundle 6, and as much as I’m a fan of breakout-style games (Arkanoid, Shatter, et al), I find that WizOrb just flat-out will not load in Ubuntu. Any ideas why?
Which version of Ubuntu are you running? Do you get any error messages?
I had the same problem here, couldn’t get it to load. Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64, on an atom-based netbook. The following fixed it (not all packages might be necessary, it’s the combination of some trial and error and some info on the Ubuntu forums):
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs libmono-system-core4.0-cil libmono-system-drawing4.0-cil
that seems like a really cool idea since not many neebwis know about all the games that are around for linux, (like me ) so this should help out quite a few people that way they don’t think that Linux is boring’ just because it has no native’ games to it. I’d still use Wine and/or duel boot windows in order to use the games I have for now, but this is worth looking into
Hey, guys. I just picked this up with HIB 6 and wanted to say thanks for making this available Linux. Cool idea, meshing together two games genres that I’ve always loved.
Do have a request, though. On Linux, you store the game config and save data under “~/Tribute Games”, which creates an extra top-level directory in my home directory that’s ONLY used by this game. While this technically works, it doesn’t really fit in with the Linux way of doing things, and from the perspective of someone that tries to keep a fairly tidy system it’s really annoying seeing that directory always there.
Would you please consider releasing an update that moves the configuration data to something like the following:
~/.config/TributeGames
~/.TributeGames
~/.local/share/Tribute Games
There are multiple options available. Storing preferences under ~/.config/ is generally the preferred method these days, but anywhere would be fine as long as it’s under a directory that starts with a “.” – this leading character instructs the environment that it’s a hidden directory so it doesn’t show up by default in directory listing and in file managers.
Appreciate the consideration. And again, thanks creating the Linux port!
