About This Game

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.
