ZoneBall is an interesting take on the 'Quix' and Dodgeball/Jezzball game. The demo is nicely executed, and will probably work on many low-end Macs. The problem with ZoneBall is that this kind of game has been executed many times before, and unfortunately much better. It doesn't, for example, hold a candle against Cosmo Bots or Water Bugs (Cosmo Bot's sequel).

Control could be improved, with at least options to change mouse tracking speed, and use the second mouse button to flip the player direction.

The graphics appear a bit dated, but I like the animated background that is revealed when you carve pieces out of the playing field. The color scheme, on the other hand i find ghastly, but this is a matter of pure personal preference.

The sound is so-so, and doesn't get on your nerves (which I like). It would be nice if the game provided an audio feed-back when you switch player direction.

I recommend you try this along with similar games and choose the one that is more to your liking.
