How to play Ballup
There is no tutorial to sit through — the game explains itself. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. It is built tall rather than wide — comfortable one-handed on a phone, centred and uncropped on a monitor. The second run is always better than the first — that is the whole learning curve.
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.
Why it is worth playing
Ballup is easy to start and harder to master, which is the balance the best browser games hit. A browser game does not need to be more than that.
