The ball is a whimsical object that many of us like to play with in various forms, but sometimes the ball can play on its own like in Red Ball Bounce. A lone red ball finds itself in a natural world full of possibilities and adventure. This means that the ball sets off on a journey to reach some sort of goal or simply just to see how far it can bounce. Unfortunately, it's a harsh world out there for a ball and you'll need to provide proper guidance so that the ball can keep bouncing. Time to get on a roll!

About Red Ball Bounce

There are all sorts of ball games and games where balls are a key item, but sometimes the ball is everything. This is a game where the ball is just that and you're following it as it takes center-stage. The ball can be quite mobile but is vulnerable to almost everything that it encounters and there is a lot of danger in the big wide world. You need to lead the ball so that it gets to where it needs to be with little harm done. If not, this poor ball may never become the hero that it longs to be.

The goal is to get the ball safely to the end of the level. The number of lives the ball has is shown in the top left corner. If it loses a life, it will go back to the last checkpoint and if it loses all lives, then you'll go back to the start of the level. There are also stars scattered around the level to be collected.

On the main menu you can visit the shop to spend your collected stars on new skins for the ball. Once you have your skin, you can go to the level select screen and choose any levels you've unlocked through progress. Levels will have various platforms and terrain that the ball will need to roll over. Objects like crates can be pushed around by rolling against them. Angry squares will try to hurt the ball but can be avoided or bounced on. Other dangers like pits, spikes, and deep water will instantly take a life from the ball. Red flags will act as checkpoints with your level score depending on how many stars you collected.

Tips and Tricks

This is a pretty simple platforming game, but there is some trickiness that comes in how the ball is affected by physics. It moves faster downhill, slower uphill, and can bounce higher after hitting the ground. Test the bounce timing so that you'll be able to clear some of the larger gaps.
