This is the latest version of 3DWinBrick 2001!

This game has an explosive number of possibilities which will draw all of your skills!  There are thousands (3DWinBrick2001 & WinBrick2000 & WinBrick96) of different levels with compressed action. You are able to manage this challange alone or with (or against) your friends! One to four players are possible. 256 simultaniously displayed objects will produce a high-speed arcade game, which you have never seen on any system yet.

With this 3D version of WinBrick, you have a full real time rendered 3D scene of the playfield with all objects. Lots of graphical effects make the game real fun to play. You can rotate around the playfield to see behind big bricks, and you are always playing from the bottom, because game turns itself according to your position.

There are more than 60 different extras (including water, rockets, bombs, extra balls, amplified fire, etc.) in different flavours. Many of these extras are also interacting with each other, which gives you the possibility to get many points. You are also able to buy additional add ons in a level shop. Statistics and multipler profiles make it possible to compete against your family / friends.

As in windows, you are able to create you personal theme (for games), which can contain your own pictures, bricks or even sounds (sounds and self created bricks is for advanced users only). The level editor is a real creative utility, which allows you to generate levels on very different possibilities - even creating a level from bitmaps, jpegs or icons!

A special network hiscore list will be created to hold a real HiScore list among several systems.

If you have, you can use 3D glasses (e.g. 3D Relevator from Elsa or specific graphic boards from Asus).

If playing against other players, you may use two mice, four joysticks (also force feedback), per keyboard, per network/internet and all different combinations!
Wooow, thats a *real* action game!

The shareware is not timelimited and fully playable. There are 8 training levels, 5 3DWinBrick2001 levels and 5 WinBrick96 levels for one player usage included. Furthermore are several multi player levels (for 2 / 3 / 4 player usage) included. The level generator can not save created levels, but it can be fully tested.

3DWinBrick2001 is not a free update for WinBrick96 or WinBrick2000. It is an independent new game.
If you are a registered WinBrick96 user, you are getting the WinBrick96 level importer free. This importer is able to load all WinBrick96 sceneries in 3DWinBrick2001 as under WinBrick96 - only much better. Furthermore it allows to import the WinBrick96 levels within the level editor.

You will get the level importer for WinBrick96 and / or the level editor free, if you have already registered that specific feature for WinBrick2000!
