Product Description:

X Ball is a next generation brick-out style game. Anyone who has ever enjoyed playing brick-out could love this game. You begin the game with 1000 dollars in funding which slowly ticks down as you play the game. When your funding runs out the game is over, so the faster you beat the levels and the more funding you collect the better. Powerups can be bought with your funding and stored for later use, make timing and powerup combinations a key aspect of game play. There are many other original ideas, including a powerup to place explosions, a powerup that makes your palette magnetically attract balls, exploding bricks, falling bricks, and an army of enemies to get in your way. X Ball has 20 default levels with over 15 different types of bricks and over 80 levels in the fast growing library of user contributed worlds. The full version could keep you entertained for days.

X Ball ReviewThe Best - Version: 2.6, 2/13/2005 09:56AM PST

This games is the best of its kind..

After playing it for so long I have to leave a comment and hopefully have lots and lots of people buy the game to encourage the developer.

This game is NOT a stupid breakout game, you have to use stragegy and mathematics to get high scores and when you think you can't do better, check out the high scores on the developers site and you see you've still got a long way to go.

HIGHLY Recommended!

X Ball ReviewStill the best breakout game... - Version: 2.6, 3/18/2004 10:45AM PST

Still the best breakout game. One recommendation for the developer. In 2.6 the resolution has to be set one size at a time. So if it's set on 1400 x 900 and you want it set on 800 x 500, you have to go through six or seven resolution resets first. I would suggest a pop-up menu. Awesome game though. Thanks...

X Ball CommentaryBlack Screen after High Score bug - Version: 2.5.1, 2/8/2004 08:09PM PST

Same thing for me - the black screen after submitting a high score. I find that if I let the machine sit for a while the game comes back. Really strange.

Also noticed that if I hit ESC too many times to speed through the saving high score, etc. it will actually quit the game entirely.
