JezzBall Classic Lite
--
JezzBall Classic was created to be just like how the original JezzBall was 25 years ago! The graphics, the sound, the scoring, the physics, the tempo... they are all the same as they were in the original. Of course there are improvements as well; for example there's a much higher frame rate and fixed glitches. Plus a lot of bonus stuff, such as new game modes!
Gameplay:
In JezzBall there are a number of Jezz atoms that bounces around. Your task is to build walls that contain them in as small space as possible. When over 75% of the playarea is built upon the current level is completed and you move on to the next where another Jezz atom is added into play.
Press down to place the origin of the wall, move to determine the orientation of the wall and release to actually start building it. The wall is constructed in two directions from the center, if a wall-half is hit by a Jezz atom before it has reached an already existing wall it is destroyed and you lose a life.
Features:
+ The original JezzBall experience! Into the very last detail; if you came looking for the JezzBall you remember you will not be disappointed!
+ Four profiles (one reserved for guests) with their configurations stored separately.
+ 700 beautiful background images (real life photos). Go to the "Graphics" config screen to enable it. Will place a random image into the black walls each level.
+ 8 music tracks of classic MIDI tunes you'll probably remember! All recorded using SoundBlaster 16. You can set up to 24 music audio events if you want to.
+ 60 fully customizable SFX audio events
- change which sample(s) to play or change individual volumes. A pool of 300 sounds are available from various old games.
+ Automatic saving of all games in progress. Stop and continue whenever you want to!
+ Local high score lists. In the Hall of Fame your name will last forever and on the three other lists you will see the daily, weekly and monthly high scores.
+ Level records. All your best statistics are saved on each and every level you complete. Profile records are comparable.
+ Smart and very customizable controls. If you have a touchscreen you can play using your fingers.
+ 83 mods that once activated changes how the game is played! Use none or pick one/several at the same time in any order. High scores and level records are stored separately for each combination. Some mods will just change the amount of time/lives you have while other will drastically change gameplay (allow you to use two wallbuilders at the same time for example).
+ 22 preset mod-combinations are provided in addition to the original JezzBall experience to give you variation.
+ 100 rooms that will stimulate your intellect as well as your ability to time your deployments! Can you solve them?
+ There are also missions available to inspire you to break your personal bests. Completing them all is an achievement!
JezzBall may not be near as well-known as the biggest arcade puzzle games but it stands its ground as one of the most addicting ones and I promise you will find JezzBall Classic both challenging and enjoyable.
+ Do you wish to try the game before you buy it? There is a lite version available!
+ The game is also available for PC on winterdust.com if you'd like to play with a mouse.
Good luck containing those Jezz atoms!

It's the classic game, with a slightly complex but manageable control scheme. The only criticism I have is the Lite version is only the first 2 levels; and that isn't nearly enough to hook new players in.
It lets you play into two rounds and then you got to pay if this is the game that has been around forever and now they want you to pay for it. And it's not even the original it's a generic of the original. Don't even bother playing.
Only 3 levels in free version. It's a 30 year old game. I appreciate no adds but perhaps just one to open the game would be enough for unlocked full version
Oh yeah, have a free copy but only get 3 levels! And the controls are not easy 😕
I think its tacky to only have the first two levels before having to purchase a game that was free on every desktop 18 years ago.
Nice throwback. I don't think it's worth $5 to go past level 2 when there wasn't much that went into developing such a simple game that was already developed
Just two levels. Controls are rough. Not worth paying $5 for a game that was free 20 years ago.
Game controls are awful, pay to play after first two levels, otherwise how I remember it.
Two levels. Two levels. The demo ends a minute after it started.
I brought it years ago for my RCA Voyager 7". Now that I own a 10.1" tablet you want me to pay for it again, I think not.
Similar to the original, except only two levels. You have to pay if you wish to keep playing.
2 levels?!? I'll go make a VM of the original before paying for this game.
doesn't even launch, keeps crashing....
Only 3 levels, wast of time
exactly the way i remember this game being imma buy the full version soon
I woild rate it hogher if I didn't have to pay for a full version
Only 2 levels are free... lame
Can play only upto few stages.
A timenconsumernbut in a very goodnway
Not a game. A brief trial with no content.
I love this game because i am the jezzball god
Why do I have to pay for a 20 year old game?
Chill
Total rip off! Only let's you play 2 levels without spending money!
Well done. Almost identical to the original but only 2 levels. At least give us a reason to buy it.
The classic returns, at least for 2 levels. It's great to see this game ported to the latest phones so kids these days can see what we had fun with. If I find Hover that's all I need next
only TWO levels! Took longer to download than it took to play before you hit they pay wall and even before thatit wasn't very good
Not a game! An ad! Can't go past level 3! Not as fun as using a mouse anyway!
Controls are fairly obtrusive. Would constantly be moving around the screen just trying to get orientation to change so line was in the right place. Free version is the first two levels and could not justify $5 for the remainder. Maybe you get more of a knack after some time, but as-is doesn't feel worth the cost.
