About Red Ball 4
The series of Red Ball games is quite large and the core idea has remained the same while making each entry a bit longer. This game being the fourth has several worlds with multiple levels that the ball must complete. It is a pure platforming adventure where you're just trying to get the ball from one place to the other. There will be the usual dangers and even some physics to master to get over all the obstacles, but it won't break your brain. It'll hold your attention just so that you can keep the ball rolling.
How to Play
Red Ball 4 is a 2D platform game about rolling a red ball through levels using only the keyboard.
Controls
- W/Up Arrow/Spacebar - Jump
- A/Left Arrow - Roll Left
- D/Right Arrow - Roll Right
The goal of each level is to get the red ball from the left side to the exit at the far right. Its health is displayed as three hearts in the top left corner. If it loses all of its hearts, it'll be sent back to the start or the last flag checkpoint that it touched.
When the level starts, you can get the ball rolling. It will naturally roll and pick up speed down slopes or move slowly when going up them. It can also interact with objects like boxes and boulders by rolling into them to move them around. You'll encounter enemies in the form of angry squares that can be defeated by crushing them with objects or jumping on them. Enemies and traps will remove hearts but hazards like pits and water will instantly drain all of them. To get a perfect score, you need to collect all of the stars and defeat all of the enemies by the end of the level.
Tips and Tricks
This is a simple platforming game that is designed for speed and flow since the character is a ball. Despite this, there are areas where you will need to slow down, consider the pieces, and then make your move. Rash movements may put certain stars out of reach.
