Electric Balls - The Mini Game
This is a map I've been working on this week, I made it for fun. I were playing some Bubble Trouble at a flash site and I thought, "why not try create a wc3 version?" and this is the result after a couple of hours working on this.
Well, the game is simple. You have a shooter and you use your left and right arrow key to move and your up arrow key to shoot. Use your down arrow key to shoot a special attack. Your goal is to kill all the bouncing electric balls, but when you kill a bigger electric ball it will split into two smaller ones. This makes the game kinda hard ^^
When an electric balls dies there's a small change that an item/powerup will be created,
At the moment I've added four game modes,
This map supports up to three players! But, I think alot of people know that arrowkeys cause high delay for alot on players on the Battle.Net, so this map may may delay while playing it online, but single player works really nice!
Please post a comment and tell me what you think about it!

> Special Weapon (Glue Shot) (This "arrow" will be stucked in the roof when it hits the roof for 5 seconds. (Use this special weapon with your down arrowkey or S button.))
> Potective Shield (Make yourself invulnerable, a very short duration.)
> Treasure Box (Increases your score by 1-50)
> Speed Boost (Increases your shooters speed and your arrows speed for 4 seconds.)
> Extra Life (Increases your lifes left by 1.)
> Skull (-25 score and reduces the shooters movementspeed for 8 seconds.)
> Inverted Skulls (Inverts your shooters movement, left will be right and right will be left, you'll have to pick up another inverted skulls to return it to normal!)

At the moment I've added four game modes,

> A FFA Normal game mode, this game mode is the same as the Normal Game mode, but players don't share their lifes!
> A FFA Challenge game mode, this game mode is the same as the Challenge Game mode, but players don't share their lifes!
> A Challenge game mode, every 8th level a new electric ball will be spawned, but every level the size of the balls will be increased. Every 8th level the size of the balls will be set to 1.
