Awards are given for outstanding achievements, including the quick completion of levels and the ability to dodge enemy shells. In addition, each stage contains several hidden diamonds. When the player collects every one in the game, he earns the top trophy.
In addition to offering fun and addictive gameplay, Magic Ball 4 is a visual showstopper. The full version features four stunning worlds, including a snow-clad northern territory, the Amazonian jungles and African savanna, the exotic landscapes of Japan and China, and a wildly inventive distant planet.
