About Red Ball Forever
Red Ball Forever puts you in control of a hero with no arms or legs, which means every obstacle has to be cleared by rolling, bouncing and the occasional float. Black Ball has filled the world with monsters and devious traps, and Red is the only one round enough to stop him. The momentum-based movement gives the platforming a springy, physical feel that's easy to grasp but tricky to perfect.
Levels come in bite-size chunks, so you can clear a few during a short break or push through a long run when you're on a roll. Stars tucked along the way reward a bit of exploration and can be spent on new skins for your ball. It's lighthearted enough for kids, while the tougher traps ask for real precision from older players.
How to play Red Ball Forever
- Roll Red through each level toward the end point, steering around Black Ball's traps.
- Jump to bounce over gaps, hazards and the monsters standing in your way.
- Collect stars as you go; they unlock new skins for your ball.
- Complete every level to foil Black Ball and save the world.

Tips and tricks
- Red carries momentum, so ease off before landing on narrow platforms instead of trying to stop dead.
- Give yourself a short rolling start before big jumps; it carries you noticeably farther than jumping from a standstill.
- Detour for stars when the route is safe, since they're what you spend on new skins.
- When a trap keeps catching you, pause and watch its rhythm before trying again.
