Wizball is an action-adventure game where you play as Wiz, a friendly wizard who must restore color to his world. The once brightly colored Wizworld has been drained of its colors by enemy creatures, and it's up to Wiz and his companion Catelite to retrieve the colors.
The gameplay involves controlling a bouncing green ball that can shoot and be rotated to move through side-scrolling levels. To progress, you must upgrade your ball with shields, fire power, and other abilities. Catelite is an essential ally who can be summoned as a satellite or controlled directly to collect paint drops and aid in level completion.
Every color combination collected will send Wiz to a bonus stage, where one of the power-ups can be created permanently. The game also features several multiplayer modes, including cooperative play for up to two players.
