Nevermind the convoluted introductory story; this is a good old break-the-wall game. There are a few twists, however; for example, you can buy power-ups for an additional life or an extended palette. The sound and the graphics are decent, though we can't say the same of the interface. It is not necessarily clear that Save The Human Race just means Start the Game, for example, and you can't customize control keys. X Ball does come with a handy world editor, in case you manage to get through all the levels. The game is engaging and elegantly fills the gap between serious titles such as Quake and nifty time-killers such as Minesweeper.
