The essence of Spaceball: Revolution is a hand-eye coordination challenge: players are tasked with filling-out a 3x3 grid in accordance with the displayed image. Shooting a ball will fill-in or remove the background from a box on the grid, hitting a line will do the same for all boxes immediately connected to that line. Simple enough as it starts, Spaceball: Revolution soon builds in complexity by adding foreground cubes that obstruct your shots, asking players to monitor their movement and time their shots precisely. As players continue, further objects eventually force players to rebound shots off the surrounding walls to land correctly on the grid with the addition of floating asteroids and swinging pendulums. All of this must be done within a strict time limit, with the grid moving further away as the time remaining decreases – lowering the accuracy of shots.

Nintendo Life writes: "Last year, Virtual Toys brought Spaceball: Revolution to the Wii Shop, an arcade-style puzzle game that had you firing at a grid to copy patterns. Now that it's hit the DSi Shop, this puzzler has brought the same unique experience to a handheld system."
With so many DSiWare games hitting the DSi Shop -- and with DSi owners having the ability to easily and immediately download the games for themselves -- IGN will be approaching these titles a bit differently than the usual software review structure. DSiWare is released on a weekly basis, and they'll be covering each and every title in shorter, more concise reviews.
