About Slip Ball
Touch and move the ball to avoid enemies, get the score by taking the visiable blocks
How to play Slip Ball
There is very little to learn before your first run. 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. Nothing is lost by trying something reckless once.
Controls

| 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.
