Ballz! Pro Adds Sporty Animations to Twisted Match-3 Puzzle

App Craver - Posted Fri, 17 Jul 2009 22:00:05 UTC +00:00

07.17.09 App Score: 8/10 — If you’ve played a mobile game in the last 5 years, chances are you’ve played some variation of the match-3 puzzle popularized by games like Bejeweled. Easy and addicting, match-3 games are a dime a dozen in the App Store. Often, it’s the same game with different icons. Purplezoo Productions has changed the same-old, same-old with their new game Ballz! Pro Version for iPhone and iPod touch. Ballz (the original) was a traditional match-3 with smiley icons. While loosely based on the original, Ballz Pro is a whole new game all together. Ballz Pro adds extra challenge with locking squares, extra help from the exploding bonus ball, large Ballz, 3 shuffles to extend gameplay when you run out of moves, and a localized and worldwide scoreboard. The whole game is wrapped in a sportier new theme that features animated sports Ballz similar the grimacing Read More

Very much like Chuzzle!

zmulleni

Version: 1.15

If you like chuzzle then this game is worth every penny. You can go for hours on end easily and is a great way to unwind. Pros: 1. I love that I can play iPod music in game with sound effects! 2. It's chuzzle but cheaper! 3. Good overall game flow and presentation. Things to improve: 1. I love in chuzzle when you keep pressing a character they become angry and sneeze or burp. This should be added! 2. I think the boxes around the characters should be removed to allow for a more "free flowing" game experience. 3. I gave you 5 stars because I'm hoping you'll take my comments to make a great game even better!!! 

Addicting and fun game

level4

Version: 1.10

This game is the perfect time waster, I probably waste too much time playing this:) Seriously, it's very fun and challenging. You can just drag and line things up and do OK, but if you want to score high, you really have to plan your moves. The lock feature adds a very intruiging twist that makes this a thinking mans game. Give it a shot, you'll like it.

Great Game

Charlie the owner

Version: 1.10

This is a great game. It is very well put together. Has great animations and great gameplay. It is a fun game. Beleive me it is worth the money

Surprisingly Enjoyable

Bartimaeus001

Version: 1.10

To start off, Ballz is not as good as Bejewelled BUT it is better than most of the other match 3 style games.

Fun puzzle game

dpiers

Version: 1.10

Easily worth the $2.

A great fun addition to the Match 3 genre

pluto6

Version: 1.10

Ballz will easily have you wasting hours. It is finely tuned with fantastic animations, great sounds, abilty to post high scores, and on and on. For me the only thing that keeps this from being 5 stars is having some different skins. Having a few more powerups would be icing on an already delicious cake!

Kids Love It!

NicholsSolutions

Version: 1.10

The kids love this game, I am still having trouble with them not having to be in a row side to side or up and down. Glad that someone put a kid-like interface together for the puzzle games.

Great Fun!

Greg Meach

Version: 1.10

This game has it all; fun, great graphics and sounds. It's very fun to play, you can't put it down once you start.

So much like chuzzle that popcap might want to look at this.

Smurgen

Version: 1.00

If you liked Chuzzle then you might like this game because it IS Chuzzle. It's basically Chuzzle Deluxe reskinned with poorly designed but well animated generic ball type characters. Most of the sounds are lifted straight from Chuzzle as well. Still though it is fun enough to be illegal, cuz this game very well may be illegal once popcap sees it.

What a great game!

Incubus69

Version: 1.00

This is such a cool game, I'm totally addicted, I've wasted hours and hours, (I need to get some work done!) I keep saying 'one more game I can get that high score' The animations and graphics are cool and I they say they are working on a multiplayer mode, not sure how that would work but I'd love to compete against my friends and family.

Great Match 3 game with more

TheNamesBond

Version: 1.00

This is so cool, I love the animated faces, this game has some great features and I love the fact I can continue from where I left off because it means I can play for 5 minutes and then come back later if I was doing well. Bravo!!

Hate Timed Games!

thetoothfairy

Version: 1.00

Cute graphics, they are just darling but does get hard quite fast and I hate timed games! YUK! What a way to wreck a game like this.... don't get this game if you hate timed games and don't get very far with it... and then when your time is up you have to start all over...

So Much Fun

RubySlippers1

Version: 1.00

The original Ballz!! is so much fun to play but these little Ballz!! are too cute for words! There are big Ballz!! also and the animations are outstanding. Worth the buck I paid and more.

I have the High Score!!!

Mad Puppy Joni

Version: 1.00

I too had the original Ballz! and this is waaaaay better, I've very competitive and am very pleased with being at the top of the global high score table. The graphics and sounds are fantastic, the interface is smooth and very user friendly, you can see they have taken the time to get things right. As always I expect that the updates will make the game better if that is possible! As the screenshot says AWESOME!. I predict another hit for PurpleZoo!

Fun for the whole family!

Parent of two

Version: 1.00

Very cute, very polished game that is fun for the whole family. Tough enough for adults and the faces the ballz make will keep the kids entertained rather than (overly) frustrated as they take extra time to solve the patterns.

Awesome!

SmileyBlah

Version: 1.00

Wow...I bought the original Ballz! but this way better, the sounds and playability are Awesome! Truly Additive.

Great Match 3

LanceChoad

Version: 1.00

Very fun match 3 game. There are some creative gameplay elements that should give match 3 fans a lot of gameplay. Beautiful graphics, as well

Cool Match-3 Game

kdhomick

Version: 1.00

Ballz is an enjoyable match-3 game, where the game pieces are different sports balls. The difficulty increases as larger balls appear that lock 2 rows/columns together or individual balls get locked, preventing the entire row or column in which it's in to move. Doesn't really bring much new to the table, but fun nonetheless.

Excellent!

FiremanBob

Version: 1.00

This is so cool, this is up there with bejeweled! This is like chuzzle which has really nice graphics and excellent sound effects. I love the online high scores, the interface is smooth and it is an all round highly polished game that has earned a permanent place on my iPhone.

Great chuzzle like game but...

daveb2008

Version: 1.00

Great overall game but feel the difficulty jumps up too quickly The first level starts to "lock" balls way too early making the game too hard too fast. Give us some selectable difficulty options please.

Cute and fun with a challenging twist

Devilishly Good

Version: 1.00

Very cute graphics and a twist to the match 3 type game. As a twist, your matches do not have to be in straight lines; you merely have to have 3 of a kind touching. Each of the balls is animated with different, comical facial expressions, and this definitely makes the game more fun and enjoyable to play.

Highly polished and...

Combat?

Version: 1.00

...a cool take on the ever-crowded match-3 genre. This, Bejeweled, and Smiles, are at the top of the list when it comes to this sort of game. This one, however, has some cooler features, such as locked rows, huge 2x2 pieces, and combos. I like the rewarding sound effects (call me shallow!) upon getting a combo. Good game, definitely one of the best I've played. If I had to criticize it I'd say the loading screen and main menu are not up to the same level of presentation as the rest of the game. Still, they're not bad by any means.
