Roller Ball 6: Bounce Ball 6

Red Ball's on the move again in Roller Ball 6: Bounce Ball 6. He bounces straight into a strange ground: loose boards over water, weird gears spinning in dirt, and a couple of balloons tangled up at the top of an old tower. Looks like someone's trapped all his balloon pals behind gated doors. Red Ball keeps rolling, hunting down any star or shiny thing he spots. Those shamans? They set mean robots all over the path, but a solid jump flattens them.

How to play?

You steer by nudging Red Ball left or right or sending him up with a hop. In the game Roller Ball 6: Bounce Ball 6, you run into switches jammed in the floor—if a door won't open, there's probably a lever close by. Hit checkpoints by rolling through colorful beams, so slipping off a ledge isn't such a problem. Grab gold stars any time you see them; sometimes, getting there means bouncing off an enemy or figuring out a shifting platform. On some stages, you can't reach the exit portal until you've found all three keys scattered around. Later, you'll spot moving lifts, sticky spots that slow him way down, and bigger enemies you'll need extra space to jump over. Everything comes down to timing. Try landing on the edge of a baddie's head instead of the sharp side—otherwise, you get bumped all the way back. The trickiest ramps? Almost sent me flying the wrong way last time. Anyway, making it to the finish with all the stars always feels pretty good.
