More Info


  • Effortless Camera - Easy to See Where You're Going
  • For New Players and Experts Alike
  • Handcrafted Design, 48 Open-Ended Levels
  • Bonus Goals - Collect 30 Fruit, Race to the Hidden Exit
  • Hang out with Strange Pins
  • Extra Game Modes and More Secrets

The controls are physics-oriented - this is different than most other platformers, but once you get used to them, they will feel exceptionally smooth. Sadball has an incredible range of expressive play.

​Tips and Tricks:


If this sounds intimidating, don't worry. You get two attempts in each level (bowling rules), and every pin counts towards your score (also bowling rules). You don't have to get everything on your first go! Just have fun and see how many points you can get! :3

You can learn a lot of cool tricks if you play around. For example, you can knock over pins with a shockwave, or hover around with a helicopter-hand. Some tricks make things easier, some help you go faster. But the only tools that are necessary are running and jumping.

Every level is a new sandbox!
