Music is just magic. This has to be on top-5 of my all time game music favourites. Played with trainer (too difficult) which was great as I got to listen to the music Without trainers this is a game from hell. I especially hated the controls (you'd had to wait a little after jumping to jump again, so that created untold deaths and also timing had to be almost perfect. Jumping created tedious jump and wait or FALL, again... Jump and wait or FALL, again...)). When the baddies grew even meaner that was many times game over (or the wasps, ugh). Also the collision detection is very strict.. If your furry fuzzball turn and its eyeballs face now the moster, you're dead (backsided there is more room for not colliding with the mosters, sheesh...). All in all it makes everything unfair, like the computer did not want to use even rules. GFX and music (with trainers) saves it the title music reminds me of Tommy Seebach's 'Apache'

This would have been at least a 9 from me if it wasn't so difficult straight from the off. Lovely concept but, as other reviewers have pointed out, you really need an unlimited lives cheat to get you going properly. 7/10 from me.

This game has two problems: irresponsive unfair controls and bad leveldesign. And what is worse, time limit. The basic idea is relativelly good - you have to collect all fuzballs. To do this, you must shoot them, they will get packed for a short time. If you do not manage to collect them, they unpack to a nastier form. There are several of these forms, from harmless to evil. The aim of each level is to collect everything, not only fuzzballs. Unfortunatelly, some items looks like tokens, but in fact are deadly obstacles. The game is hard (due the bad controls) and annoying, since some 5th level. To be fair, it has BEAUTIFUL intro, though.

It's like "Tribbles - the Video Game". I consider this an underrated System 3 gem. It's pretty hard, though.

The sprites are adorable and all the graphics look really nice. The level designs are good too, with enough variation to keep you going. But due to the games difficulty you may never even see past the first level, at least without an unlimited lives cheat. The introduction sequence is great too. Overall, Fuzzball is a very underrated and unknown game.

Me and my brother loved this! The sound was so cute, the graphics were really nice to look at and interact with, and even the music was pretty good! But the best bit was when you made the enemy dudes angry, they went from green to purple, and finally to red. By that time they were seriously [email protected]#£%# off and it was pure fun to see them all so angry! Classic

I remember this game, it had decent GFX at the time and OK sound so overall a decent little platform

I really liked this game; it blended puzzle and platform very well. And it's definately one the more more prettier games around - the backgrounds are lovely to behold, and the character sprites are pure cuteness, even the baddies! The sounds and music are also decent. Sometimes jumping from platform to platform and always missing by a small margin because you didn't time your jump precisely can get annoying, however. Still, a simple yet pretty platformer that was overlooked in the past, but should not be overlooked today.

A game with no real faults, but it just didn't attract you like some other games did...

A very entertaining, not widely known little sleeper from System 3 - the graphics were just functional and so nearly nobody noticed this game, but it was quite a good laugh and moderately challenging, too. Worth rescuing.
