Product Description:

X Ball is a cash-based brickout style game. Anyone who has ever enjoyed playing classic brickout will love this brand new twist on the game! You begin with $1,000 which slowly ticks down as you play. When it runs out the game is over, so the faster you beat the levels the better. Powerups can be bought with your funding and stored for later use, making timing and powerup combinations a key aspect of gameplay. There are 40 different powerups, too many different types of bricks to count, an assortment of enemies, 30 default levels, and an additional 600+ levels in the fast growing library of user-contributed worlds! Moreover, a fully featured world editor makes it possible to create your own levels and submit them online for other X Ball users to download. Your levels get their own Web page, screen shots, download count, comments and ratings page, and all time high score list. Creating levels can be a game in itself. All classic brick-out fans should give this new game a try!

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.
