Ball Balance Challenge
Why We Picked Ball Balance Challenge
Ball Balance Challenge is a four-minute game with a restart button that costs nothing, which is the whole of its design. Its difficulty curve is a staircase rather than a slope, and the steps are visible. Deaths are cheap and immediate, which is why the next attempt starts before the last one has sunk in. Nothing about it is memorable except the score, and the score is what you came for. On the record: 276 of 500 on the arcade shelf, 3.3 out of 5 from 53 ratings, and 3,386 plays.
How to Play
The page documents very little, so these are the things worth knowing before you spend time on it:
- Allow audio when the browser asks; a denied prompt leaves the game silent until reload.
- Survive as long as the game allows and let the number measure it.
- Ease off before the fast section instead of catching up during it.
Editor’s Note
One more go is the entire retention design, and it works about as well as it ever did. These are the shortest sessions on the site, and the category is built around that rather than apologizing for it.
