Overview
Ball Breakers, known in Europe as MoHo, is a top-down sci-fi physics-action game developed by Lost Toys and published by Take 2 Interactive for the PlayStation in North America on July 26, 2000 and in Europe on August 4, 2000. It later received a PC release on November 3, 2000 and a Dreamcast release on November 24, 2000, both exclusive to Europe.
The first of two games from Lost Toys (comprised of former Bullfrog members), Ball Breakers is set in a futuristic inter-galactic prison planet, where humanoid convicts participate in gladiatorial competition for freedom after transforming their pair of legs into rolling balls.
Each level includes one of seven objectives, from defeating other inmates in direct combat to racing against the clock (or other inmates). The game features a physics system that utilizes terrain deformation.
