Instead of controlling a [[paddle]], you control the ball itself by altering its momentum using the [[joystick]]. Various blocks (squares, triangles, and special blocks containing powerups) advance down from the top of the sceen. The player dies when the ball goes down through a hole in the bottom of the screen, or if the blocks reach the bottom of the screen. When you die, you start over at the beginning of the level. Although the game has a ball and paddle look and feel, puzzle elements come into play later in the game. ==External links== *{{KLOV game|id=7001}} *[http://www.arcade-history.com/?n=bal-cube&page=detail&id=173 ''Bal Cube''] at [http://www.arcade-history.com/index.php?page=news Arcade History] {{paddle-videogame-stub}} {{puzzle-videogame-stub}} [[Category:1996 video games]] [[Category:Arcade games]] [[Category:Falling block puzzle games]] [[Category:Breakout clones]]
