Review
Alpha Ball is a 3D Arkanoid-like game. As in any Arkanoid clone, the goal of the game is to hit a ball with your bat, making it bounce toward blocks that will are destroyed when the ball hits them. The board has three walls for the ball to bounce off. You will have to prevent the balls from falling through the fourth side by moving your bat.
Some blocks will release power-ups and power-downs when hit. Some power-ups will cause the bat or ball to be enlarged, or equip your bat with a gun that you can shoot by pressing the left mouse button, destroying some blocks. Some power-downs will shrink your bat or ball, or even make you lose a life.
The main difference in Alpha Ball is the layout of the board. The blocks to hit form 3D multi-level structures, such as buildings, planes, giant dolls, etc. that collapse level after level when you hit them. Each level begins with an aerial view of the board.
The demo version will let you play for sixty minutes. After that, you must buy a license if you want to keep playing. |
