About This Game
Roll, jump, and dash your way through a cozy physics platformer. Explore vibrant, handcrafted levels, find your glowing companion, and unlock the path forward in this satisfying, minimalist adventure.
Detailed Description
There is no princess to save, nor dragon to slay. You are, Just a Ball.
Welcome to a cozy, physics-based 3D platformer where movement is everything and everything is made of spheres. In a serene and stylized world, you control a ball with a suite of satisfying abilities: roll, sprint, jump, dash, and unleash a powerful "gravity boost" to navigate intricate levels floating in the sky or submerged in deep water. Your primary goal is to find a lost spark of light—a glowing companion that acts as the key to unlocking the portal to the next challenge.
Guided by a unique layered music system that swells and builds as you draw closer to your objective, the journey is one of discovery and flow. "Just Balls" is built on a single core principle: movement that feels good. Every element is designed to create a relaxing yet engaging experience, from the custom water buoyancy that invites you to explore its depths, to the springy bounce pads that launch you into the sky. It’s a game designed to be picked up and enjoyed at your own pace.
FEATURES:
Physics-Based Freedom: Master a fine-tuned control scheme that makes simply moving a joy. Chain together sprints, dashes, jumps and some gravity boosting to find your own path through each level.
A World of Spheres: Explore dozens of handcrafted levels across multiple distinct worlds, each with its own theme, challenges, and unique feel—from serene floating islands to complex underwater mazes.
Dynamic Layered Soundtrack: Let the music be your guide. An interactive score adds layers and intensity helping you find your goal, making discovery an auditory experience.
Engaging Collectibles: Seek out and shatter fragile shells to find the glowing fragments hidden inside. Fully completing levels allows you to witness an ever-changing, physics-based sculpture grow and evolve in your hub world.
Diverse Gameplay Elements: Use bounce pads for verticality, ride ramps for speed, float up with streams of bubbles, and navigate moving platforms on your journey.
Photo Mode: Found a perfect moment? Pause the action and use the built-in photo mode to capture the minimalist beauty of your adventure.
"Just Balls" is a solo developer passion project, born from a love for pure, satisfying gameplay. I hope you find as much joy and flow in playing it as I have in creating it.
