    At a mere 2 quid, you'd have to be insane not to pick Wizorb up. [June 2012, p.101]

    Still, it's a very well-designed game that harkens back to the arcade era which adds a few new twists to what could've been a very dull game. Fans of brick-breaking titles will find much to enjoy with Wizorb. It adds a new wrinkle to gameplay with its magic elements, and its mimicry of the bygone NES days will charm the pants off anyone nostalgic for that era.

    One of the best bat-and-ballers since Breakout itself.

    Wizorb is a successful tribute to Breakout and Arkanoid, with good pixelated graphics and precise controls. The mouse support makes this game a little too easy, but at its price it's still a deal.

    Nice concept, interesting game. Gets boring quickly though because there's no novelty past the first level. The story is cool but the game is short.

The controls aren't that great, and it's even a bit confusing. Waste of time. Not even worth the 74 cents I paid for it! It enticed me with "RPG" and it let me down. Do not recommend.… Full Review »

Arkanoid/Breakout clones are supposed to be about breaking blocks, reaction time skills, and aiming the trajectory of the ball to hit blocks. This game instead focuses on a multitude of anti-fun game design elements, especially in the last world. You have to beat each world (12 maps plus a boss) in a row, no saving, and have limited continues. If you get a game over you have to start the whole world over again. This compounded with the awful game design decisions in the last world (at least half the map unbreakable blocks, frontal invincible enemies that knock your ball away, invincible narrow passages that ping-pong your ball everywhere, and a boss that is invincible to your ball and can 1 shot your paddle) alone make this game a no go. There are tons of other Araknoid/Breakout clones out there, try something like Shatter instead.… Full Review »
