A cool indie puzzle game about exploring an ancient world hidden in a volcano, where the key to solving the puzzles is an iron ball 🟠 I recommend everyone play it!
This is a gem of a game! They found a fun simple mechanic and really rolled with it. Great blend of puzzle solving and action / combat. The levels are fun to explore and find the secret areas. I played this 9 years ago in 2016 and just now in 2025 I enjoyed playing through again.
This game rolls! Well, it's still good enough to play in 2025 anyway. Sometimes it gets a little frustrating but I don't have any actual problems with the design.

the яйца
I took a gamble on The Ball, as I do not have the reflexes or hand-eye coordination for most fast paced shooting/dodging games. But there was something about its appearance and story which intrigued me, and because some reviews described it as not hard (for them a criticism, for me a ray of hope), I decided to take a chance. And, of course, I struggled, but with overall enjoyment and satisfaction as I slowly overcame the mixture of puzzles, combat and exploration in the Campaign part of the game. The Ball is an old game (2010), but there are some very helpful guides to updating its range of screen resolutions and refresh rates, which greatly improve the experience. There are a range of different achievements for game progress, destroying enemies, collecting story lore, and performing quirky actions (such as balancing & moving on the ball). Of course, in the end my gameplay weaknesses were ruthlessly exposed by even the most gentle of the Survival levels and I gave up on these without regret. But, given I paid an 80% discounted price of UK £1.39 and had over 30 hours of play time, I have no concerns about value - and entertainment - for money.
интересный сюжет, даже не ожидал. Красивые просторные локации, но одновременно просторные локации это горе, вы гуляете постоянно пешком. Интересные головоломки. Но ачивы это мда. 5к раз ударить мячик, тумач. а так рекомендую, приятная игра.
Too slow and too dull. Like a Portal rip off that thinks what is fun is wandering around slowly.
очень круто
Сюжет игры довольно интересный с своеобразный в стиле ацтеков и инопришеленцев, но тот факт что вам придется искать секреты по карте тупо тыкаясь в каждый угол это очень грустно, в игре куча невидимых стен что усугубляют этот процесс. Что касаемо головоломок, то они все очень слабые, за всю игру только 2-3 меня заинтересовали, остальные либо долгие, либо скучные, механика с шаром по началу меня порадовала, но в итоге она вообще никак не изменится с первых кадров игры. Противники в игре одинаковые по сути своей, и ничего страшного в них нет, со временем ничего кроме раздражения лично у меня они не вызывали. Из плюсов могу отметить атмосферу в начале игры, и некоторых локаций ближе к концу, и сюжет, мне вправду было интересно узнать историю народа, полный рассвет и крах самой развитой части человечества, но я ни на секунду не задумываюсь о том чтобы перепройти всю игру заново чтобы открыть все секретки и узнать всю историю, мне жалко своего времени.
I bought the ball to get the KF1 achievement, but I actually ended up enjoying the game itself quite a lot. its simple & chill with nothing too hard but a good 9 hours of content if you want to 100% the game which is well worth the price
