Airball

Airball is a game about a wizard’s curse that turns you into a bouncing ball of air with a slow leak. To break the spell, you must find various ingredients and the spell book while making your way through hundreds of levels set in isometric rooms.

Navigate the rooms

Use directional controls and a jump button to cross gaps, weave through obstacles and jump up stairs. Collect gems for points, and avoid spikes and other hazards that can burst you. Some rooms require special items to proceed, such as candles for dark rooms.

Manage your air

Your air level steadily drops, and an onscreen gauge lets you monitor it. Inflating stations restore air, but staying on one too long makes you burst. Random pumps can also give you more time, though over-pressurising will burst you. You must keep moving against the clock as you search for the ingredients and spell book to lift the curse.

Original version

Airball was originally released in 1987 on several formats, including MS-DOS and Amiga. This is the MS-DOS version.
