A WHOLE NEW BALL GAME
Released in 1988, by Peter Cooke, this is a great puzzle game.
The object of the game is simple but effective, as all puzzle games should be.
The object is to guide a small ball around a screen, collecting little yellow energy balls as it goes.
The problem is that you have no direct control over the movements of the ball,  it will always follow a straight path.
If the ball hits another object such as a wall it will bounce back and go in the opposite direction.  This is where you come in, you are armed with a set of mirrors which send the ball in different directions to what it was moving before, you must direct the ball, using these mirrors, so that it can collect the yellow energy balls.  Sounds simple, but the game can get very difficult.

As with most old games the graphics are very poor, they are simple blocks and shapes, but they do what is asked and dont distract from the game at all.

This is a great game for playing an hour or so if you are bored, it will get your brain working overtime on the later stages, where there are lots of different traps to catch your ball and teleport zones that send your ball to other parts of the screen.

This is a well made and fun game, there is also a screen editer included in the game, this makes it possible to create your own challenging levels!
