Balls like a Frog - Stop the balls in this new C64 game from Drmortalwombat

We've had some pretty decent games lately, from the more recent Veggies vs Undead on the Commodore 64, to Super Bomberman 2 Remix on the ZX Spectrum and Yie Ar Kung Fu Turbo on the GX 4000. Well if you're looking for even more cool news to keep you company throughout this week, then make sure to check out Drmortalwombat's latest game of 'Balls like a Frog'; A ball busting game whereby you need to stop the balls from killing your Frog. To coincide with this news, Saberman has done a gameplay video for you to watch below.

Here is what the website says about this new Commodore 64 game "You, as a loveable little amphibian, have stumbled upon the temple of Blaf. This disturbance has made you aware of the Sun god being trapped inside one of the temples, where he is kept encased in stone. While at this temple you see that it tries to destroy you with spheres on a path, so you must get firing and bust those balls before they reach the skull and end the frog's hopping life. The game features multiple modes of choice, and one of those modes you have to progress through 76 levels and 22 maps to free the sun god".

    I believe you can call this game "Zuma for the C64" like Veggies vs Undead = "Plants vs Zombies for the C64" :-)

      Think you mean "Puzz Loop for the C64".

      Yep, that's Zuma. A 'simple' casual game of the '00s but surely a challenge to get all those balls and the smooth rotation to work on the C64.

      Well, I had no idea . That Zuma was a clone of Puzz Loop (I learned something new, which is awesome :-) ) but the reason why I wrote "Zuma for the C64" was because in Zuma the "shooter" is a frog, and so is it, in this game :-) So Zuma is the main inspiration of this Puzz Loop clone :-)

    Thank you! Zuma was obviously a clone of the earlier (aracde) game Puzz Loop.

    Thank you for mentioning the 90s (arcade) game Puzz Loop. Zuma was obviously a clone of Puzz Loop.
