Does anyone remember a computer game from around 2002-2003 by Grin software? I thought it was called Ballistics but must be misremembering.
It was like these games but you were in a tunnel and the ship stuck to the edges so you’d have to rotate around obstacles or temporarily use the release to float off and reattach. I remember it being very fast.
I beta tested the game for Linux but don’t think the Linux port ever went GA before the Linux publisher (maybe LGP) shutdown.
I guess I answered my own question 🫢

Found this game on My Abondonware.
It works great under WINE, but you need a No CD Patch. I used
Ballistics v1.0 [ENGLISH] No-CD/Fixed EXE #3which worked perfectly.
