All the fun I remember playing JezzBall!

Love this game! I had a hankering for it, so I searched for it in the App Store and there it was! Everything that I remember from the original, except it has been adapted to touch instead of mouse clicking of yesteryear. I wish they would come up with or bring back the MacOS version! Love the game! Great way to pass the time. I always find myself topping high scores. :)

Great Recreation

Pretty much exactly like the version I played on windows years ago.

Amazing game feels just like the original!

I love this. The gameplay is so identical to the original that I commented with friends that the developer had access to the original code :p I got to level 50 and it never happened when I was younger! (I was around 10 and now I am 29, so it’s expected, right?) thank you so much for developing it! I’ve been playing nonstop :D

Worst game ever

I played the original JezzBall Classic and while this is just like that the App stinks. It doesn’t save anything and it locks up right at the time and ask you to put your name in for your score and you have to shut it down so it’s really pointless don’t waste your money on this. If I could give it a zero I would.

Takes me back to the good old days....

I remember when I first played this game way back when(showing my age here......). This game became something of a tournament between me and my dad’s boss, whenever I’d go up to his work I’d sit in his bosses chair and beat his high score. My dad’s boss wasn’t a graceful loser, or person for that matter lol, so next time I’d go up there the high scores would be erased and he’d have the high score again, so I’d have no choice but to beat it again😂.

This version works great, haven’t noticed any bugs and the nostalgia factor is a big plus. There are too many options to list here, from simple adjustments of the amount of the screen the game can take up to adjusting how to win the levels, and much much more. If you decide to get this game spend the time looking through all the options even the mods, there’s 21 pages of mod choices alone....

JezzBall Classic is a mobile game designed to replicate the original JezzBall arcade experience from 25 years ago.

The core gameplay involves building walls to contain bouncing atoms.

How do you play JezzBall Classic?

In JezzBall Classic, you must build walls to enclose bouncing 'Jezz atoms' in the smallest possible space. Walls are constructed by pressing down to set an origin, moving to determine orientation, and releasing. If a bouncing atom hits a wall segment before it's complete, you lose a life. Completing a level requires building upon over 75% of the play area.

Can I save my progress in JezzBall Classic?

Yes, JezzBall Classic automatically saves all games in progress. This allows you to stop playing at any time and continue exactly where you left off later, ensuring you don't lose your progress on challenging levels or during extended play sessions.
