Kirby's Block Ball

1995 · Game Boy · HAL Laboratory

Kirby’s Block Ball, known in Japan as Kirby no Block Ball, is a 1995 action video game developed by Tose and Nintendo and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy. It is a spin-off of the Kirby video game series. It is a Breakout clone; the player controls paddles along the screen's edge to knock a bouncing ball, Kirby, into destructible bricks. The game's 55 levels include power-ups, bonus rounds, and minigames. The team spent half a year revising the gameplay to match Kirby's signature characteristics. Kirby's Block Ball was released in Japan on December 14, 1995, later in North America in May 1996, and in Europe on August 29, 1996. Synopsis from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA.
