  • Summary: 20 years ago people could first play the original JezzBall. Since then a lot of different versions of it has been created, and although some have been great none of them were really close to the original.

    JezzBall Classic changes that; it was created to be just like the original! The    20 years ago people could first play the original JezzBall. Since then a lot of different versions of it has been created, and although some have been great none of them were really close to the original.

    JezzBall Classic changes that; it was created to be just like the original! The graphics, the scoring, the physics, the tempo... they are all the same as they were in the original.

    Okay, granted the controls had to be changed for obvious reasons and the animations has been given a lot more frames to suit today's standards. And new features have been implemented (see the list below). Some bugs and issues of the original has also been solved, for example expert players will be happy to know that the game will now end after 50 levels instead of repeating level 49 over and over again forever. Measurements have been taken to prevent cheating by pausing the game or switching between slow/fast speed right before the last move.

    But the true JezzBall feeling can still be found in this JezzBall Classic, and that's what really is important!

    Gameplay:

    In JezzBall there are a number of Jezz atoms that bounces around. Your task is to build black walls that contain them in as small space as possible. When over 75% of the playarea is black the current level is completed and you move on to the next where another Jezz atom is added into play.

    Press down to place the origin of the wall, move to determine the orientation of the wall and release to actually start building the wall. It is constructed in two directions from the center, if a wall-half is hit by a Jezz atom before it has reached an already existing black wall it is destroyed and you lose a life.

    Features:

    + The original JezzBall experience! Into the very last detail; if you came looking for the JezzBall you remember you will not be disappointed!

    + Four profiles (one reserved for guests) with their configurations stored separately.

    + 300 beautiful background images (real life photos). Go to the "General" config screen to enable it. Will place a random image into the black walls each level.

    + Automatic saving of all games in progress. Stop and continue whenever you want to!

    + Local high score lists. In the Hall of Fame your name will last forever and on the three other lists you will see the daily, weekly and monthly high scores.

    + Level records. All your best statistics are saved on each and every level you complete. Profile records are comparable.

    + Smart and very customizable controls will help you build your walls exactly where you want them.

    + 62 mods that once activated changes how the game is played! Use none or pick one/several at the same time in any order. High scores and level records are stored separately for each combination. Some mods will just change the amount of time/lives you have while other will drastically change gameplay (allow you to use two wallbuilders at the same time for example). There are 16 preset mod-combinations provided.

    + 90 rooms that will stimulate your intellect as well as your ability to time your deployments! There's also 24 missions to inspire you to break your personal bests.

    If you enjoyed similar games like Qix, Xonix, Barrack or KBounce you will love JezzBall Classic! It may not be near as well-known as the biggest arcade puzzle games but JezzBall stands its ground as one of the most addicting ones and I promise you will find JezzBall Classic both challenging and enjoyable.

    Do you wish to try the game before you buy it? There is a lite version available!

    Good luck containing those Jezz atoms!    … Expand

    It's a fine title to pick up for action puzzle goodness.
