X Ball

X Ball is a cash-based, break-out-style game. Anyone who has ever enjoyed classic break-out will love this brand-new twist on the game. You begin with $1,000, which slowly ticks down as you play. When it runs out, the game is over, so the faster you beat the levels, the better. Power-ups can be bought with your funding and stored for later use, making timing and power-up combinations a key aspect of gameplay. There are 40 different power-ups, too many types of bricks to count, an assortment of enemies, 30 default levels, and an additional 250 levels in the fast-growing library of user-contributed worlds. Moreover, a fully featured world editor makes it possible to create your own levels and submit them online from other X Ball users to download. Your levels get their own Web pages, screen shots, comment and ratings sections, and all-time-high-score lists. Creating levels can be a game in itself. All break-out fans should give this new game a try.
