Dang, you managed to create a playable 3d world with player controlled camera? Rough edges totally understandable. Well done. That's a feat for 48 hours! I'd be interested to see what game you could turn this into with a little more polish. Disconnecting the camera from mouse movement and maybe changing it to click+move might help a lot with the aiming and controls. 

Well done!

I really liked the look of it, but I can't seem to be able to pick up the ball.

You have to be facing the ball directly.  I meant to change the value for how far off you can be but scrambled toward the end to get it all done haha.

Ahhh, that makes sense

I really enjoyed the idea and the look of it, but it s really hard to play. I saw some strange bugs on the chain and the camera movement. Anyway, really fun and refreshing entry ! We made a prisoner game too, if you want to check ;-)

Funny game, the addition of ragdolls goes a long way in selling the concept. The chain got stuck everywhere and I had to pick up the ball every now and then to fix it, but ragdolling the guards is a lot of fun.
