About the Game



In this fast and furious game, you play as the last employee left in a hazardous electric company where big bouncing balls have gotten into a short circuited panel!

You'll need to race against time to use a neutralizing laser gun to shoot the colored balls, matching the ball you shoot to the border color. Once you neutralize that ball and turn it white in color, that ball and only that ball is safe for you to touch and collect and deposit in the collection basket.

The action heats up as you progress, getting more and more chaotic and should offer plenty of fun and replay value!

Laser Ball is my recreation of an old Commodore 64 type in classic action arcade game I enjoyed as a teenager. It was originally published in Compute! magazine (Oct 1985) and was called 'Laser Beam".
