About The Ball
The Ball is a first-person action-adventure about a swashbuckling archaeologist trapped in a cavern on the slopes of a dormant volcano in Mexico. Exploring the ancient ruins hidden there for centuries, you discover a mysterious artifact: a gold- and metal-shelled Ball. You must learn to control it and uncover the secrets of the place as you venture deeper into the volcano.
Explore the ruins
The adventure spans 8 large levels and takes about 8 hours. You encounter puzzles, traps and strange creatures guarding the mystery, including mummies and an undead gorilla. The Ball is your only means of defending yourself against them. The game uses physics-based mechanics designed to be easy to pick up.
Additional content
The Survival mode adds 4 levels. You can also ride two vehicles: an underground train and the mysterious Ball Chariot. Across the game, 35 secrets are hidden to discover, alongside achievements and leaderboards.
