Lumiappaday #149: IonBallEX demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800 Xboxlive

IonBallEX is a block breaker style game updated with some style. The game play is as expected, breaking blocks, moving the ‘paddle’ picking up some power-ups, but then there were things I did not expect, such as a ‘boss’ where there are no blocks but some canon thing trying to shoot you and you have to manoeuvre the ball to attack it. That’s about as far as I got in the demo.

The game, as Ali, reported, is at a sale price of just $0.99/£0.79 at the time of writing.
