Red Bounce Ball

The first thing you notice in Red Bounce Ball is that the ground looks bumpy—every ledge, pit, and strange little box has its own trick. You move this red ball, making it roll through grassy blocks, sliding planks, and sometimes a weird patch of spikes that appears out of nowhere. There's always some kind of platform just out of reach, and picking the right moment to jump sets off a chain of stuff you might not expect right away. A few stars show up in spots where you could miss them unless you double back.

How to play?

In the game Red Bounce Ball, you push the arrow keys to roll left or right and tap space or up whenever there's a gap or a box you need to hop over. Sometimes, it's easy to fly past a checkpoint without meaning to. Hit one of those spikes, and you're back where you last touched a flag, so you start getting careful pretty quick. Each level fills itself up with swinging platforms or blocks that start to fall the second your ball lands. The point is to get to the flag at the end without falling into water or running into a weird enemy blob. Some stars are in odd places, under tiny spaces, or up on stacks—you must poke around for them. Enough stars, and there's a new face for your ball, which is always funny. Sometimes, that last jump never lines up on the first try. Just means you run it again, I guess.
