Laser Ball

Laser Ball is a very low effort "arcade" style game where you aimlessly run around avoiding balls and collecting little sparkly things on a 2D fixed map. This game fails most of the minimum requirements for an acceptable PC game. Fixed resolution, no control customisability, poor graphics and sound, and of course mindlessly terrible gameplay, so bad that it makes Frogger look like GTAV. Not worth buying at any price, there are free browser based and mobile games that offer far more quality and entertainment. Why pay money when you can get better for free? [quote]Online Stalking and Harrassment[/quote] The developer has started stalking me, delivering personal attacks and is attempting to publicly cyberbully and intimidate me by posting hitpiece videos and articles. Why? Because I wrote an honest and frank assessment about an objectively bad and failed product. It's an objective failure rejected by gamers, confirmed by SteamDB figures for the failed game, and for the other reasons I supplied in my accurate review. Certainly, the hitpieces the stalker/developer here has linked up are false and misleading (for example, I've given positive reviews to 2D indie games in the…

this game should have been called kicked balls because mine are still soar from purchasing this sleeper it was all i could do to stay awake this was just a desperate attemp to make an easy buck so save yours!

This game is honestly a ton of fun... It's simple to learn, but challenging in the best way possible. It's well worth the full price and it's the closest thing to oldschool arcade games that we have today, and it doesn't even cost you money per try! Definitely pick this up. :D

Played offline for longer than 0.2 hours (about 1 hour, 20 minutes altogether). I'm familiar with nearly all of ZaxtorGames titles at this point. They all use amateurish graphics and sound effects, which provides a unique appearance to the games but also suffer a bit in graphical quality compared to other 2D titles on Steam. At least he made his own stuff, and it does create a certain feel to the game that seems fitting coming from this creator / developer. The core game is fairly simple: shoot a colored ball, keep your generator repaired, deposit balls after shot, and avoid obstacles. All of this is within a time limit. It's simple with the replay value coming in beating your own and others high scores. The controls are the biggest issue. Unless I missed it, remapping keys doesn't seem to be an option, but the default keybinds are acceptable (to me, at least). The controls themselves seem too slippery. It wasn't uncommon for me to run into something trying to do a precise movement. It could be a side effect of getting older, though.. maybe my reflexes just aren't good any more. $2.99 is a fair price for this game. The core game is acceptable, the controls are workable, and it…

It's a nice chill game that takes some time to get used to the mechanics. Having some hints to get an idea of what exactly to do (or reading the instructions) is definitely beneficial! Watch out for that red ball of death too! The mechanics are solid and there don't seem to be any bugs which is nice, and the hit detection is spot on. I haven't made it very far into the levels, but the difficulty ramps up nicely from level to level. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who likes indie, retro games that involve planning and forethought more than skill.

It took a little while to understand the gameplay, but now I'd say this is probably my favorite arcade game (I grew up on the Atari 2600). I'm only able to reach level 11 or 12 -- so I'm not great at it -- but it's still a lot of fun!
