Fun Play 95977 Boomball, Blue

Product Information

It certainly produces a much better sound than you get from a phone’s speaker, and on the right surface it has excellent volume and a nice heavy bass to it.

Then, it’s a case of swiping back and forth until you either beat the level or run out of balls, which on this reviewer’s playthrough never proved to be an issue. We’d been for a Sunday Lunch and thought instead of curling up on the sofa and chilling, maybe we should play a game as a family. Or waiting for the kids to go to bed, so you could stand by yourself behind the sofa skilfully picking your location. After several rounds of the game, the girls were starting to heat up and the plastic head strap became sweaty.

To be able to purchase content for Wii U or Nintendo 3DS family systems, your funds usable through the Nintendo Account must be merged with the funds tied to your Nintendo Network ID. This system must be updated to the latest system software and connected to the internet with automatic downloads enabled, and it must have enough storage to complete the download. If the funds have not yet been merged, you will have the option to do so during the purchase process. Joy-Con-like paddles will display on the screen, allowing you to keep track of what you’re doing, but it is inarguable that this is the more awkward and inefficient way of playing the game.

You know when you’re playing Breakout, Arkanoid or a similar brick-breaking game and you get the ball stuck in a way that you keep hitting it to the same spot over and over again?Considering it is designed to be a portable music amplifier, it would have been nice if they found a way to do it without the battery amplifier box.

Chances are, though, that you’ll be too focused on the balls to worry about what the paddles look like.

Adding the high-energy silliness of Kinect into the mix adds to the experience, especially since this game is clearly aimed at kids. Then the Ball could just hang from your keys and be used when needed, but the batteries do provide that boosted volume. Abigail tried to get closer and closer to the launch tube, Imogen was working out where it was likely to shoot. I have not bought mine a games console just yet as they are only 8 and 4, so plenty of time for computer games.

Everything that can be destroyed or interacted with is in 3D, while the background behind it is in a pseudo-2D style.

The concept – Like I said, the idea of bouncing balls at bricks in a first person view is as fun as anything. Each level has four medals, obtained by completing challenges like managing to avoid losing any balls, or completing the turbo version of that level. Whether you're heading to the park or playing in the garden, this Boom Ball and Bats set is so much fun! Using the touch-screen is simple – tap the screen where you want your ball to ‘start’ then swipe left or right to set the ball in motion.

Indie studio Virtual Air Guitar Company seems to agree and created 55 levels of brick breaking to satisfy that craving.
