BallMania drops you into a classics challenge you can start in a couple of seconds. It works the same on desktop, tablet and phone, and your progress picks up where the game left it.
About BallMania
Can you catch the marble without being hit by the marble that kills you?
How to play BallMania
There is very little to learn before your first run. Load the game above and it fills the player in portrait. On a phone you can play one-handed; on desktop the frame stays centred so nothing is cropped. Take the first run as practice and the second one seriously.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Navigate menus and interact |
| Arrow keys / WASD | Move |
| Spacebar | Primary action |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
