      *Update - Blast Ball will be released on April 5th!

      Blast Ball combines intense arcade gameplay, gorgeous retro style, soccer and explosions into one of the best gaming experiences on the iPhone or iPad.

      Score goals as fast as you can while blowing up your enemies! Avoid the ever increasing volley of bad guys as you score with soccer balls, footballs, basketballs, and Blast Balls. Complete missions to unlock new ball types such as the disco ball, mega ducky, and the cube.

      Blast Ball’s unique retro vector art style will take you back to the arcade’s golden days. With iCade compatibility, you can bring the arcade back home!

      That looks funky :)
      The gameplay, from what it looks like, reminds me of Super Crate Box, with the crates giving various items and the enemies to avoid. There sure seems like there are a lot of differences though, what with the bombs and the balls to roll, making it really interesting imo.
      The style is very unique, with the blend of 2D and 3D elements, refreshing :)

      Thanks! Super Crate box was definitely a huge inspiration. Blast Ball is kinda my spin on the concept.

      So with Blast Ball coming out this week, I figured I'd give out a couple of promo codes before it's released. First three to quote this post gets one!

      I've played it in a long run and I have to say I love it :)
      Really addictive once you get used to the gameplay (just like SCB), the unlocking system is well balanced and there are a lot of good (and fun) ideas!
      I'm having a hard time with the footballs though :p
      That last achievement sure is hardcore to get! This mission relies too much on luck I think. There were times I was sure I completed it but I didn't because balls sometimes kill monsters off-screen and there's nothing I can do about it... I was thinking a mission along the lines of "score ten goals without firing a single bomb" would be more appropriate.
