Reviews for "Metal Ball"

nice

but why you can't become game over ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿

Nice game.

could use a bit of work in some places that im too lazy to mention,but nice work nonetheless.

good game

Very addicting, but it seems like the diagonal movement isnt in sync with the board layout. good game, just need to get used to the movement of the ball in contrast to the board.

I found this to be a good game. It was one of those games that didn't need much detail. I was impressed at how it was not easy. I should have known you couldn't just win by pressing the up button, even on the first level. It really was pretty well thought out. I liked the music as well.

I appreciate how you can work well with such a simple game. I probably have played games like this before, though. It isn't much, but it still works. Hard to say how it could be improved. It just is what it is.

No doubt about it, Marble Madness reincarnate

And just like Marble Madness, it can be frustrating to a fault, yet still be highly addictive.

Graphics: Simple designs, but that's enough for a game like this.
7/10
Sound: Decent background song, though I guess there's more in the complete game right? Whatever.
I noticed a distinct lack of sound F/X and felt that it somehow robbed the game of a deeper sense of "realism". Three cases would be when your ball goes off the track, when you reach a check point, and when you finish a track.
7/10

Style: While an entertaining idea, its hardly original, nor is it originally implemented.
5/10

Gameplay: The movements and reactions of the ball were acceptable (i.e. I didn't feel like smashing my keyboard in frustration). I was extremely appreciative of the infinite "lives" you get to finish a level, and even moreso the checkpoints for the larger tracks. Nothing spectacular, but no real flaws either.
7/10

Improvements:
Consider the following:

-Two levels of difficulty (current game as beginer level and an advanced that has a set number of lives and less checkpoints)

-Modifiers that can augment the ball from how it moves to whether or not you can see it for a while (the ramps were a start but just not enough).

Well that's about it. Not a bad job for such a dated video game concept.
7/10

ATTENTION FRUSTRATED PLAYERS

On narrow passages, note the clip area does not include the "ledge area closest to the player, so you can move your ball onto the ledge area facing you without actually going over. Use this extra space.

Believe me you'll understand the second you figure out what I'm describing.

-Take care all!
