Jezzball, classic pc game..

[Black Angel]

Has anyone ever played this?

Bdx and I played this a lot when we were younger..

It is pretty easy after the first few levels, but then it gets harder..

Left clicking builds a wall

Right clicking changes the direction to either vertical or horizontal

If a ball touches a wall before it is built, you lose a life..

The objective is to clear as much space as possible, before the time runs out..

You have to clear at least 75%, the more you clear the bigger your bonus will be..

If your time runs out you won't die, but the faster you clear it, and the higher the percentage, the greater your bonus will be.

The game is very small.. and you don't have to install it.. it runs from its own folder.. This game is abandonware.. meaning that it is free, and we are allowed to post it here.. so we aren't breaking the TOS in any way.

All you have to do is extract the zip using winzip, or winrar, (preferably to a new folder) to the location of your choice, and double click the jezzball.exe.

If you get a windows error saying that there isn't enough memory to run it, ignore it.. I got the same error, just click ok, and then play the game..

The file is clean I scanned it for viruses before I uploaded it.

If you do play the game, post your scores and screenshots here.

here are a few of mine.. I am still playing on this game..

When I got this comp it had it already, not sure if I deleted it or just the shortcut. Anywho, I pretty much suck at it. I can get to level three with no problem but after that it's a challenge for me.

I died at the level 8..

Did you have Maxwell's Maniac on that one too? I might post that game later..

That game was ridiculously hard.. getting past level 4 was a miracle.

btw, you can skip levels in Jezzball by pressing Ctrl + Shift + F12..

Sometimes I do it just to see if I can survive the highest level..

*Gasp* You cheatuh!! But no, I haven't heard of that other game

[Black Angel]

I am trying to see how many levels there are in maxwells maniac, using that code (which works btw) and I am already at level 147, and this mess is crazy..

basically with maxwell's maniac, you have to get the balls on the side they belong on before the time runs out..

it looks a lot like jezz ball..

That looks insanely hard, and confusing. What is there, like, 52 balls?

[Black Angel]

I have no clue, but I died on level 156.. I forgot that I left the game running when I went to the store..

I am not going to do that again, so I'll assume that it has like 200 levels or something..

Tisk tisk, shoulda paused it. There was another game exactly like jezzball but with changeble 'skins' if you will. It was called Ice breaker, and I don't remember if it was this comp or the other comp that had it, I'm pretty sure it was the other but I remember one having Icebreaker and the other having Jezzball.

I'm shocked you never played chip's challenge.. that game is a classic.. there are a lot of levels out there, and a lot of fan made levels also..

If I have played it I don't remember, what's it about?

Double post! I's bad.

The highest I got with the code in jezzball is 49, after that it just takes you back to level 49.
