    Overview:

    iJezzball is a game that was re-made from the classic Windows 95 game "Jezzball". The objective of the game is to close up as much space as possible using your "wall creator", without any balls hitting the wall why it is being created. It's a game that requires quick thought and execution, as there are atleast two balls bouncing around at any given time. iJezzball is a great re-make of it's classic Windows 95 version, and those of you who have played, and liked, the original version, will not be dissapointed with this re-make.

    Price: $3.99

    Features:

    *20 Levels
    *Local High Scores List

    It's Jezzball. The amount of content is very good and even though 20 levels may not sound like a lot, I give props to anybody who can beat all 20 without running out of lives.

    [Graphics: 10/10]
    No problems here. Framerate never drops and the animations are fluid and nice looking.

    [Presentation: 7/10]
    One of my problems with this is the backgrounds. Why they may be pretty and sharp, not all of us are into outer-space. Score could be improved if there was an option to turn off backgrounds and use the classic gray block background.

    [Features: 6/10]
    This doesn't exactly hurt the game at all, because of the fact that it's a simple game, but to give this an honest score it can't be a high one. It features a local high scores list, and then the game itself. Not much there but it gets the job done.

    [Lasting Appeal: 10/10]
    If you enjoyed the game like I did, you will have no problem keeping this game active for a long time, there are 20 levels and since there is no level select, you must beat them all in one go-through.

    [Overall Rating: 9/10]

    What exactly did I copy and paste? =/ :confused:

    All it says on iTunes is the following:

    iJezzball is a wonderfully addictive and simple puzzle game. The object of iJezzball is to break up the playing field by making walls while avoiding atoms. iJezzball features:

    *insert features here*

    I don't see how it's possible to write a 100% different description of what the objective of the game is. There's only 1 way to describe it.

    I just wrote everything from my head. Only thing I used iTunes for was the features and I didn't even include them all.

    Thanks to the other two guys whose posts actually had common sense in them.

    Not sure, I'd have to imagine that it would be.

    Did you search for it?

    They are fake people. Which is one of my problems with the game. I wish there was a high score list on the internet.
