The puzzle game is truly a unique genre. To make a good puzzle game you don't necessarily need all the elements other games need. A good puzzle game may not require amazing graphics or sound, as long as the basic idea that drives the puzzle is a good one. Ballistic is a perfect example of this truth, with an original and interesting puzzle mechanic resting behind overly simple graphics and music. It's easy to tell that Ballistic was probably inspired by Bust-A-Move, as the gameplay revolves around you shooting variously colored balls at other balls of the same color to eliminate them from the puzzle. Where the game differs is in the actual presentation. Instead of just being in a standard puzzle-gaming pit, your cannon sits at the center of a spiral, with a series of balls slowly moving toward you. Once the balls reach the center of the spiral, they blow up your turret, and your game is over. |
