Ballspell

It's a bit fun, but it's freakin' frustrating. I've been playing games like this since they were cool, which was sometime during the early 90s. This one: Impossible to beat. Too few powerups, too little control. The creeps are fun, the variety of different mechanics is astonishing, but it just doesn't add up to a progession that is possible. Don't get me wrong: I'm the first to doubt my abilities. But there's a delay between shots you can fire. So even if each shot would hit the target (which again due to the always the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥ map layouts is not possible), it would just not be enough to defeat the quick moving line of enemies. If you like Zuma clones -- this one is decent. If you like achievable achievements -- this game isn't for you.

It's hard but it's a fun take on Zuma

Adorable game, exactly what it claims to be. Nothing more, nothing less. Quite a bit on the harder side as far as sphere matchers go, and the "health" mechanic can be extremely confusing to figure out (some colors of enemies take multiple "hits" to destroy or require a longer chain), but it's nothing that makes the game less fun.

For a somewhat gay man, I'm terrible with these balls.

Fun game with a twist on Zuma. The OST is SO GOOD

Zuma is great, I played more than I should back in the day and got to the end game endless mode where it got to a point where it was so dang difficult to keep track of everything, and the colorblind mode of Zuma didn't exactly help enough with my colorblindness, but Ball Spell avoids those two stumbling points very well! The "balls" are enemies that have HP now, and the result is a more paced game where you don't have to recalculate your gameplan after every shot, when there is a beefy enemy you can remember to take a couple of that color shot in that position for a bit. Now that does hinder the crazy chain-combo nature since enemies stay alive preventing color collapse but I think it is worth the trade off. Also having enemies instead of just colors does wonders for my colorblindness, and the colors are also vibrant and distinct to begin with.

At the beginning I thought this game would be doo doo. I'm glad i decided not to go for the three star on every level before trying to just beat all of them in the first place. All the mechanics build upon each other. The health mechanic, at first, I thought was stupid and annoying. After a while of seeing how the colors and effects changed the interactions of the line as an entire unit, I kind of loved it. If you are expecting a super fast click the same color and get combos as fast you can game like Luxor or Zuma, you will not enjoy this at first. It is not the same kind of game.

simple, relaxing and a few times quiet challenging
