FizzBall was obviously inspired by Breakout/Arkanoid, and the cult hit Katamari Damacy. In the game you bounce a small bubble around the countryside; when the bubble hits a tree, the tree will drop apples, acorns, pinecones, etc. When the bubble hits one of these objects, it will capture them and grow larger. The object of each level is to grow the bubble large enough to rescue all of the animals.

The story begins mysteriously... Professor Fizzwizzle notices that all of the people have fled the islands, but he doesn't know why! He decides he'll solve the mystery, and rescue all of the poor animals who have been left behind, stranded. He rescues the animals with his FizzBall, and keeps them safe and well fed in his animal sanctuary. As he progresses through the islands, the mystery begins to unravel!

Professor Fizzwizzle is platform puzzle game where you take control of the diminutive genius, Professor Fizzwizzle. You must help the professor use his brains and his gadgets to solve each level.

To solve a level, you must guide the professor to the level's "exit tube". However, obstacles such as crates, barrels, gates, magnets, pulleys, trampolines, and Rage-Bots will make the exit difficult to reach! Three different platform types also add to the puzzles: Grass, sand, and ice. On grass, objects such as crates and barrels can be pushed freely. On sand, they'll get stuck or move more slowly. On ice, the professor will keep sliding until he hits something and comes to a stop.

Navigating the levels is challenging, but you're often given power-ups to help you on your way. The Frost Gun, for example, will allow you to freeze any object (including the Rage-Bots!) so that the object can slide more easily on grass and sand. The E.M.P. power-up is helpful for disabling Rage-Bots, and for disconnecting magnets.
