May 4, 2011 - PRLog -- UK based game developer Pocketeeers Limited releases its first multi-platform arcade title BattleBallz for iPhone, iPad and Windows Phone 7. Android, Samsung Bada and Blackberry PlayBook versions coming very soon

BattleBallz is a fast paced Arkanoid style arcade title for 1-2 players (on the same screen). Players (real player or AI) face off across a playfield separated by breakable bricks and do battle over 10-30 rounds of increasing difficulty. As the difficulty increases the playfield is littered with hazards such as Gravity Wells, Zappers and Grabbers. Players can power up their own team or put the enemy team at a disadvantage by collecting positive power-ups, whilst collecting negative power-ups will put the players own team at a disadvantage. BattleBallz is designed to support a wide range of skill levels with 4 difficulty modes (easy, normal, hard and insane). An achievements system is integrated into the game giving the player around 80 achievements to obtain and post to their Facebook account (Facebook posting only available on iOS and Windows Phone 7)
