Borrowing certain gameplay conventions from Qix, JezzBall presents another scenario forcing the player to divide and conquer a 2D playfield by whittling away slivers of it until it is at only 25% (or less) of its original size.
Jezzball is a simple, yet engaging fast-paced game of skill and strategy. J-Ball builds on the original game of Jezzball. The object of Jezzball is to trap jezz atoms in the smallest possible chambers. Jezzball is not just challenging and great fun, but also soothing and satisfying. Jezzball Features: - Family friendly action-puzzle game. Jezzball is a strange game where you must corner off a number of jezzballs one step at a time until you have cornered off 80% of the board. The game plays a lot like pacxon. When you complete a stage, a ball is added and you gain a number of lives as well. Lives are lost if you try building a wall and it gets hit by a ball before being completed.
The complicating factor here are balls, more with every level, bouncing off the edges of the continuous playfield and, incidentally, quite lethal to the player's marker, only tangible while in the act of diminishing the playfield by marking off areas no longer to be used. The player can choose to trim horizontal or vertical segments -- depending on which axis they expect the bouncing ball to intercept soonest -- and the boring apparatus used fires off in opposite directions simultaneously, meaning the cross-section generally starts being cut from the middle and works its way toward the outside edges... all while keeping an eye on how close those balls are bouncing.
The apparatus is slow, and until the entire cross-section is completed, its entire span is at risk of being hit. The two sides of the dividing sweep are independent from each other, so if one side is intercepted by a ball while in the process of trimming, the other side continues unabated, resulting in a half-complete division.
This game became famous after being distributed as part of the Microsoft Entertainment Pack 4 of Windows 3.x games, returning in the Best of Microsoft Entertainment Pack.
