"FizzBall Review - Fizztastic Fun!
I've played a couple of brick busting games and frankly became quite
bored along the way. So to find this really innovative and different
game is great.If it looks naive at first believe me its challenging
and such a good value game to play. The Fizzball animations are
colourful, cute and well thought out. The story line is simple but
really comes to life as you play, you worry if the animals in the
sanctuary are getting enough food-so you need to try hard to collect
the cash needed to feed them. Collecting the cash is real fun. You
either catch bags of money held aloft by balloons or roll your Fizz
ball over cash on the ground after you bulldoze and smash the barrels
and packing crates. You move from island to island rescuing different
animals by scooping them up in your ever growing Fizz ball. You
encounter trials such as thunder and lightning, Martian attack and
drums of nuclear waste which you must not hit. There are rafts of
power ups suspended on balloons, extra Fizz balls, fans to blow
the Fizz ball whilst in play, a zapping beam and the regular ones
like sticky bumper and slow and fast ball. The music and sound effects
are inspired, from storm sounds and animal interactions to the upbeat
theme tune- the whole thing is a delight to the eyes and ears and
the game play as I've said is Fizztastic Fun. I played the regular
mode in the demo and made it to chapter two or the second Island.
There's also the bonus of a children's mode with an animal sounds
puzzle included, so heh! you could even get away with explaining
how you bought this one FOR THE KIDS!!. I've got to buy it so I
can get to the end- try the demo yourself- you wont be able to resist
buying it-go on see if I'm right?" - Gaming Mom
"FizzBall Review - Ohhh wow! This is
not one of these simple brick-breaking games. You must catch up
all the animals to rescue them and get them into your private Mini-Zoo.
You do it with a bubble which will become bigger and bigger every
level the more you have catch. At the beginning of every level the
bubble is so small that you first have to collect some leaves and
apples until you can fatten up the animals. The effect-- every time
you hit a tree it will lose leaves-- is really realistic. And what
I'm really,really crazy about are the animal's noises. In your "captured
area" you can visit all the saved animals and enjoy their funny
sounds and behavior.
You could try to make some kind of music with their voices - haha!
So this is a game for everybody who want to know how a chimpanse
would react if you touch him or what sounds the different pets can
give to you." - Grinning Game Gal
"FizzBall Review - Refreshing fun! Let
me start by saying I'm not a huge fan of breakout games, so I didn't
have very high hopes for Fizzball. However, I was wrong! Fizzball
is a refreshing twist on your usual brick-busting breakout games.
Fizzball combines bright graphics with cute gameplay to make an
addicting addition to anyones games folder. The
graphics are great, with fun colors and cutely drawn animals to
rescue, along with surprising weather effects which can be turned
off if you're running a lower end PC. The
point of the game is to rescue animals. To do this you have a small
bubble called a "Fizzball" that grows in size as it absorbs
smaller things in the area. Apples, pinecones and acorns are examples
of the things to aim for to grow your Fizzball. Before it's large
enough to actually capture animals it will bounce off of them, and
the animals will react in surprising and amusing ways. New challenges
are added in a timely manner, to keep the game from getting stale.
All in all, this is what a perfect
arcade game looks like. Try it, you won't be disappointed."

"FizzBall Review - Finally, a DIFFERENT
Breakout Game! I've played every type
of breakout game out there. I admit that I'm addicted to them. However,
because of that I've become very picky and in order for me to buy
a breakout it has to be both challenging AND entertaining. This
game fills the bill on BOTH counts. I sure never expected a small
bubble to be my ball and that I would have to pick up big animals
and avoid hitting other types of objects such as gas to avoid causing
pollution!!!This game has all kinds of neat twists, you need to
keep your cash level up in order to feed the animals in your zoo
(even while not playing so it has an element of simiulation) and
even a mystery with martians where you need to avoid martians shooting
at you. All bundled in a comic style adventure. The neat part of
it all is it's set up for the entire family - you can set it to
play on child mode or normal and normal is not so easy once you
get to the second island. I got killed off at the end of island
2 and I consider myself an expert breakout player. I guess I'll
be going back for more."

"FizzBall Review - Attention all parents--
If you want an hour's peace to soak in the bath or watch the Ashes,
then this game is a must! My mum bought this for my daughter and
it has to be the best buy of the century! Fizzball is a bounce game,
where you have to rescue cute little animals and rehome them in
your animal sanctury, rather than breaking bricks. But what makes
this game so brilliant is that they have a kids option, which means
that your kids won't lose bubbles, and they have an animal pop quiz
at the beginning of each round. The quiz is really for younger kids
(what animal makes this sound etc), but you can disable it in the
settings which is rather cool, as it does grate after a while! Also,
you get trophies for reaching certain milestones, which my daughter
loves. The graphics are great, the animals are cute, but the sound
is really quite annoying, but that's why we have earphones! The
only thing about it that slighty annoys my daughter is the range
of animals. She keeps saying how random it is to have horses, cats
and lions on a farm together! But that is really the only criticism
she has, and it is a rather petty one at that. All in all, this
is a child friendly, cute, fluffy game that will keep the kids off
your back for hours. Who could ask for more? P.S. Once the kids
are in bed, switch it to regular mode and it is just as much fun
for us adults lol ;o)" - Gaming MUM
