Despite what (on the face of it) seems to be a mix of English and Spanish (?) for the title, “Trap Ball Edición Billar” is a charming puzzle game where you guide an 8-ball through hazards aplenty. I like that the dangers and (later) firepower arrayed against you is humourously overpowered, which is a great deal of the game’s charm for me. That, and the expected ramp up in challenge over time, makes it worth 80 Microsoft Points. Sometimes it’s nice to celebrate a simple yet enjoyable game that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Here’s what the developer (Axouxere Games) has to say about the game:
“Play Trap Ball challenge and test your skills. In Trap Ball you will go through stages filled with traps: You must escape from lasers, spikes, other balls chasing you, and many more things while you try to make it to the goal. Accept the challenge and test your skills! Every once in a while new and free stages will be added. Languages available: Spanish and English.”
