The other day the full version of Topple Ball was released upon the App Catalog. However, we'll be reviewing Topple Ball Mini simply because it's available everywhere WebOS is but, most of the features will be very similar. Basically Topple Ball is one of the first games available that takes advantage of the accelerometer in "tilt to play" way. Which, can be a bit of a treat given the tools Palm gives developers.
GraphicsThe look and feel of Topple Ball Mini is very well done. It has the look of an arcade type game like pinball but, way more elegant. The background gives the idea of a tabletop, while the ball looks more like a marble.
Sound Effects
Sound effects in this game are overall, well done and they usually suit the action. However, there isn't actually any game play music so it can become dull at times.
Controls
As I mentioned above you control the game by turning your device, this generally works well and if it doesn't Topple Ball Mini can calibrate the accelerometer for you. The common problem of not being able to see the screen at times when playing accelerometer games doesn't seem to apply here, mostly because the screen never has to be turned very much in
order to move the ball.
Customizations
Topple Ball Mini offers some options for customizations such as changing the background from wood to concrete, carbon fiber or steel. You can also turn off the sounds and vibrations, but not each individually. The paid version and beta version of Topple Ball adds many other customizations and settings.
Special Features
Topple Ball Mini has a High Score feature, but since it's not online you can only see the high scores from your own device.
Wrap-up
Overall, Topple Ball Mini is a great app that takes advantage of many WebOS services and it shows a lot of potential. However, some areas could be improved like the sound effects. Topple Ball Mini and Topple Ball will likely continue to get better with every update.
Note
If you're looking for the full version of Topple Ball it's available free as a beta over at the PreCentral Homebrew Gallery.
Excellent review and video….very impressive programming. That is absolutely some of the best accelerometer controls I’ve seen.
Thanks and keep up the great work, Sorli…

lol a lot of of the comments folks make are silly and unrelated, now and again i contemplate whether they honestly read the weblog posts and threads before leaving your 2 cents or whether or not they actually skim the subject of the post and compose the very first idea that comes to mind. in either case, it is actually pleasurable to browse intelligent commentary every now and then in contrast to the same, classic oppinion vomit that i usually see on the internet i’m going to have fun with a smattering of hands of facebook poker so long

Hi… I don’t know if you’ve been making changes, but your pages aren’t displaying correctly for me. The edges of the text are running into each other. I didn’t do this the other day. I don’t know if it’s something on my computer or if you’ve made a change… Just thought you might want to look at it. Thanks!
thankyou lots, I must comment that your website is amazing!
Thank you for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do some research about this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more from this post. I am very glad to see such great information being shared freely out there.
Thank you for another great article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information.
This is my second visit to this blog. We are starting a new initiative in the same category as this blog. Your blog provided us with important information to work on. You have done a marvellous job.
Pretty insightful post. Never thought that it was this simple after all. I had spent a good deal of my time looking for someone to explain this subject clearly and you’re the only one that ever did that. Kudos to you! Keep it up
It is important to find a balance in your poker play. A good idea is to commit to the entertainment value of playing poker. Those who still intend to play poker to win money should be careful and put aside a certain daily or weekly allowance. Poker is a streaky game and the money often leaves a person’s account as quickly as it comes. Those who play poker and win do so because they can find the perfect balance between skill, patience, and gusto.
Interesting post, but the sidebar don’t display properly on my Mac…maybe you could check that out. Thanks, anyway.
If you are in a not good position and have got no money to go out from that, you would need to receive the mortgage loans. Just because that would aid you for sure. I get bank loan every year and feel myself fine just because of this.
This is a great site. Good clean interface and nice informative articles. I will be coming back in a bit, thanks for the great article.
While this subject can be very touchy for most people, my opinion is that there has to be a middle or common ground that we all can find. I do appreciate that youve added relevant and intelligent commentary here though. Thank you!
