Space Baller
~~~~ SPACE BALLER ~~~~
======================
Space Baller is a game where you control a bouncing ball. You guide your
ball around platforms in the middle of space while collecting bonuses,
avoiding aliens and bounce towards the finish line.
I can get to level 7 but it seems as there are thousands of levels as when
the level number comes up, there are 3 noughts behind it, i.e 'LEVEL 0005'.
The game itself is a bit boring, graphics are pretty basic although
animation is nice, fast and smooth. Title music is good and the game is
quite orginal. The game can get very frustrating when you make the ball
jump and you just miss your target by about 1 pixel. It is also annoying
the way that you keep bouncing up and down while heading forwards and doing
so, repeatly makes you hit a flying...Thing!!!
Sound is pretty bad, although as I said, I like the music at the begining
although it is not a new peice of music and it is not very good quality.
I'm not sure if you can save scores, as I have never got to the score board
although I doubt it as I can't find any Hi-score data files anywhere. Maybe
I'm wrong!
The game is quite addictive though and I have found myself throwing the
joystick in temper and promising myself never to go back to the game and
then going back to try and get that little bit further the very next day -
Sometimes the very next hour!!! You feel like there is something missing
from you everytime you fail to complete a level, and everytime you think -
"Next time, I can avoid that alien and complete the level!" but you never
actually do get past that alien!
It's not a bad game at all really but it's nothing special. You can obtain
a copy of this game off of me by sending a blank disk and S.S.A.E and please
remember that this service is completley free as I am NOT a P.D libary!!!
