Quickly analyze who is winning, by seeing how high the Bazzometer(C) is jumping on your side of the screen! The game is based on an original version written by Paul Burkey on the Amiga computer, of which I also write software for. I am working alongside Paul to complete the PC version of the game. It is like the original in many ways, and also contains many new & amazing improvements, which were almost impossible to create on the original due to the limitations of the programming language used. As you can see from the early screenshots, the game is set in comical fashion, so that it appeals to players of all ages and types. There are many games out there which are aimed at just one class of players - advanced, or complete newbies (people new to the game). Pauls Paradigm of Insanity. Another level named after the author, originally designed by him, yet renamed to suit its true nature. Its very difficult to win at any great length on this level, and is for experts only!

There are 4 different playing levels, and over 10 different board designs, so that you can change & improve your skill level as you play the game.

One of the more noticeable features, and definately the most remembered feature from the original, is the Bazzometer(C) character, which bounces up and down the sides of the screen. showing roughly who is currently in the lead of the current game. Don't worry, he is present in the game! I just didnt include him in any of the screenshots to keep you on the edge of your seats! He also has 2 pals joining him, a ShoecakeOmeter(C) and a Fish-GuyOmeter(C), each with its own customized voice set, to really make you feel at home! Stay tuned to this channel for an exclusive preview of some of the new characters! As you may have seen earlier, we are looking for a few beta testers to test the game closer to release time. Testers must be prepared to document any errors/mistakes/comments about the game and submit them on a regular basis. If you think you have what it takes, drop us a line along with the specs of your PC, and we'll let you know from there! In the meantime, enjoy the rest of these screenshots. This is an early capture of the options screen. The current one has more options, such as control over sound & music. You can clearly see the options to scroll through the different kinds of playing boards, and it even draws a quick preview for you!
