Pocket PC Thoughts: Ballistic v1.3

Figure 1: The player is confronted with figuring out the most plausible path to get the ball in the pot.

A Different Kind of Ballgame
I installed EG Pocket’s Ballistic v1.3 the expansion memory on my HP IPAQ 6315 with no difficulty. The graphics are nice and professional looking, as is the sound. The animation is smooth and the game plays nicely. There are 30 regular levels and 10 bonus levels after the 30 regular levels are completed. To envision the game play, think of one of those pachinko machines - you know, where a ball is released and bounces through a series of pins with the object being to have the ball fall into a designated area at the bottom. That is the essence of this game. The ball can be positioned anywhere along the top of the screen to determine the general path that it will take as it bounces off blocks on the way to the bottom.

• Realistic movement of the ball;
  
• The game automatically saves the game at the last completed level.
