Squeeballs do all sorts of crazy things to each other and now you get to as well thanks to Squeeball Party from Performance Designed Products. By the way as a sidenote, this game has some of the coolest CGI scenes I’ve seen on the iPhone. They’re mostly about the Squeeballs torturing each other but they’re really well done as are all the sounds.

The game, as the Party in the title suggests, is a collection of mini-games. The games include Bowling, Cooking, Crazy Lanes (like extreme bowling), shock and Paint by Squeeballs.

I think I’ll start with that last one because it’s by far the strangest, though cooking ranks up there as well. In Paint bY Squeeballs you have a line drawing that you have to, well, paint by splatting Squeeballs against it from your huge slingshot. Different Squeeballs splat different colors so be careful and pay attention. Generally the challenge is cover X percentage in Y seconds.

In Cooking you have to perform various actions like chopping, grating, shaking and what not to cook a meal for El Toro before time runs out. Yes, some of the ingredients are Squeeballs of course.

Shock has you moving a loop (via accelerometer) down a wire Operation-style (not the funny bone!) in order to shock the bejeezus out of the Squeeballs.

Bowling is in fact bowling and crazy lanes has you taking on rough environments and controlling your bowling ball down non-standard lanes to reach the pins successfully.

Overall, while the controls are fitful at times and for some reason there’s a lag from the game start to when the controls activate on certain levels, the game is pretty cool. Splatting, grinding and knocking the Squeeballs around is good harmless fun. Well harmless for all invovled except of course the Squeeballs. But they’re resilient, or there are millions of them and we can just call it population control like hunters do.

If you’re digging about for an iPhone that’s perversely entertaining, has loads of playing time and great production values, this would certainly be high on the list.
