This game is a reworked version of DX-Ball 2. The most important improvement is network play (1-on-1 splitscreen). The graphics are revamped, the levels are larger (I mean, the blocks are smaller) and there are more bonuses. The game also has more options: four difficulty levels, race against the clock, and it is possible to play the levels in random order.

Game Play:

Playing Rival Ball is very simple. Just use the mouse to move your
paddle back and forth along the bottom of the screen, bouncing the
balls back up into the field of bricks to break them. Once they're
all broken you'll proceed to the next level. Along the way you can
pick up random Power-Ups, some of which are good, others are bad,
and some may have good aspects and bad aspects.

If you think the game is too hard, try Easy Mode!

If on the other hand you find the game too easy, try going for a
mega high score! You can get four times (4x) as many points while
you're using a Tiny Paddle (get a shrink paddle or a super-shrink),
a Tiny Ball, and a Fast Ball (grab the Fast Ball power up or just
wait a while and avoid Slow Ball like the plague). You don't need
all three at once either, one or two will still give you more points
than normal.

In Game Music:

Rival Ball supports in-game music! Just hit F5 on the title
screen or during the game (you can press it twice while playing to
select a different music module). You can add more by
going to our web site and downloading the DX-Ball 2 Music Pack
with a bunch of free tunes by SideWinder, or by downloading your
own favorite MOD, XM, or S3M format songs and placing them in
the Rivalball\Mods directory. 32 voice songs aren't supported.
