Plasq unveils Comic Life for Windows

by Nik Fletcher Nov 14th 2007

It's been almost two years since our very own Jordan Running looked at Comic Life for Mac, ending his post "Now if only they'd release a Windows version." After a fair few betas, the folks at Plasq have now answered Jordan's wish: Comic Life for Windows has landed!

If you're unfamiliar with Comic Life, the best thing to do would be to check out the almost-3,000 strong photos tagged on Flickr, and run (not walk) over to the Plasq website to give the new Windows version a run-through. One of the best things about the new version is that both Windows and Mac versions share the same file format, allowing you to swap files and work on that next hit comic on either platform.

Comic Life costs either $24.95 (standard) or $29.95 (deluxe, with more fonts and designs). Requiring Windows XP SP1+ (or Vista) it's shipping now with a 30-day demo available to whet your appetite.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
