Ball Evo: Bounce Heroes

One of the red balls just zipped past spinning gears, bounced twice, and landed right next to a cage. Inside, there's a smaller one tapping on the bars—he looks bored more than scared. In Ball Evo: Bounce Heroes, you roll out as a big-hearted ball and try to free everybody. Those sharp cubes keep blocking the way. Sometimes they even perch on tricky ledges, hoping you'll miss the jump.

How to play?

You take control right away. It's mostly jumping and rolling—each level adds another twist. The game Ball Evo: Bounce Heroes throws in moving floors, springy platforms, and crumbling tiles. If you time your bounce just wrong, you return to the last checkpoint. Hitting a switch drops a gate, sometimes it makes the next bit harder, so think before you rush ahead. Once you reach them, friendly balls pop out of cages and tag along behind you. It gets crowded on narrow paths, actually—kind of funny seeing the whole trail of rescued balls wobble over gaps. Sometimes a cube will snatch one of your crew if you're not quick. Oh, and keep an eye on sudden spikes—they look almost cartoonish, but that's not much comfort after you land on them. I finally made it past level four before slipping off an elevator. You'll probably figure out a shortcut before I do.
