Ballz is a two-player 2.5D action fighting video game developed by PF.Magic and published by Accolade. It was released for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and the Super NES (SNES) in 1994, with the 3DO version being released as a director's cut in 1995. Ballz offered three difficulty levels over a total of 21 matches. Its distinguishing quality was that each of the characters were composed completely of spheres, granting a pseudo-3D look. Although the game was not a tremendous success, it was generally well-received by critics, and PF.Magic reused its graphics technology in the Petz line of virtual pet titles (Dogz, Catz and Oddballz).
