What’s missing from the game is a sense of urgency. And then there’s the skull and crossbones powerup that instantly kills you if you touch it. Then there are “reverse powerups” that can turn the ball into a crazy ball that swerves everywhere, or makes your paddle smaller. Every now and then a powerup appears out of a freshly destroyed item, which could give your paddle a machine gun or cannon, or perhaps make the ball larger or stronger. It’s quite entertaining to see the physics react to your well placed shots. If you destroy a mountain that houses a castle, for example, the castle might fall and spill all over the arena.

What’s original about Magic Ball are the physics and 3D aspects of it, something that makes it worth checking out if you’re a fan of these types of games. Magic Ball is a game of the breakout genre where you must clear most of the blocks to progress to the next level. Game runs on a little bit of a slower pace than most games of this type.Music can be grating (thankfully a patch allows for custom soundtracks).A powerup that automatically kills you is never a good idea. ![]()
