How to play Matrix Ball
There is very little to learn before your first run. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. 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
The appeal here is the loop: a short round, a clear result, and an obvious idea about what to do differently next time. It works as well on a phone on a bus as it does on a desktop.
