BasketBelle is an experimental 2D basketball-based platformer. Each Chapter of the game uses the mechanics and idea of basketball in a different way. At one point you might be dribbling inside the intestines of a purple blob creature (what?). At others, you're likely to be dunking above the clouds in front of the Parisian moon. It gets a little weird, and I like that. BasketBelle was originally created as an experiment in synchronizing audio with interactive visuals. This has stayed true through its development, as the main character's dribbles create the bass kicks for the music in each Chapter. There was also a desire to try something new with basketball - its mechanics perfect for a videogame; its application mostly being confined to a court. As an additional change of pace, a love story was introduced, but this time dealing with the love of family members and not so much romantic love as has been explored in previous games.

I'm having trouble with it on Windows 7 as well. Air says the installation of the game is broken.

I had the same problem. I was able to play by opening the installation folder and opening the bell_data_1.01 SWF file in my internet browser.
If you can get it working, it's definitely a nice little game.

I really like this game, and i'll play every game you make. Would you inform about the programming process? How long did it take? Which libraries/engine/language has been used?
Short, but really good.
seems great
The game is only 40-60 min long. A demo makes no sense for this game.
That said, you also get the soundtrack and some making of stuff, so I think the price is completely justified. I'd rather have a short game like this than a long game with padding...
