OnlyBall

The blue ball bounces out from under a bush. Gray ones are everywhere now — all cranky, hopping around since that weird space cube showed up by the river. In the game OnlyBall, you take charge of the littlest blue ball, rolling back toward those stacked cubes on the edge of the furry village. Nobody else is up for poking around inside, so it's just you heading straight in. One step on the floating ramp and you're already dodging a puddle that looks too sour to touch. Twenty-nine narrow paths wind through the thing. Some spots look way safer than they actually are.

How to play?

You steer the blue ball with your keyboard — just nudge left or right, and if a wall's in the way, nudge a bit harder. In OnlyBall, the trickiest bit is figuring out which platforms aren't just for show. Sometimes you have to push a crate across a gap before you can even get close. When a red arrow shows up, you'll need real timing, or you can just drop straight onto one of those gray balls. They knock you back fast. If you mess up and slide into acid, you end up right back at the last spot you were safe. Some cubes flip over if you hit a button, so watch for those — I always forget the first time. By the last level, it feels like that blue ball could handle about anything, though maybe I just got stubborn trying to beat those last jumps.
