About Dexterity Ball 3D™
Dexterity Ball 3D is a physics based platform game which can be played in three modes. It is a skills based dexterity game: no convoluted back story or adventure included! The goal is to collect all the gems scattered within a level as fast as possible.
Please note: Although Dexterity Ball 3D provides full controller support, we recommend the use of mouse and keyboard for the best gaming experience.

Dexterity Ball 3D aims to be as unconstrained as possible in its control and physics simulation. This means it uses a ‘pure’ form of physics simulation and control input, which leaves a lot of scope for players to develop their own unique play styles. Players are free to traverse levels in any way they see fit in order to achieve the lowest times possible or endure the longest depending on the mode of play.
There is a multi-player mode and two types of single player mode.
The first single player mode is the ‘Speed Run’ mode. In this mode the objective is to collect the finite number of gems per level in the fastest possible time. The faster your time, the better you place on the leaderboard for each level.
The second single player mode is the ‘Endurance’ mode. Endurance mode will truly test your gameplay abilities. In this mode the race is against a countdown timer. If the timer reaches zero the game is over.
Extra time is awarded for each gem that a player collects. At the start of a level there would for instance be 10 seconds total bonus time for each gem that a player picks up. If it takes a player 4 seconds to reach the next gem the player will bank 6 seconds (surplus) thus increasing the time on the countdown timer with 6 seconds and so forth. In this mode the game levels up after each 10 gems picked up and with each level up the potential bonus time for each gem reduces by a fixed percentage thus making it harder to bank surplus time with each level up. Eventually there will be no surplus time left and the clock will count down to zero. The faster a player is at picking up gems, the more time would be awarded in total. In this mode players who endured the longest will be at the top of the leader board.
Multiplayer mode allows one to play against friends over the LAN or internet. At the beginning of each multiplayer level the total number of gems that can be collected is selected. The player that collects the biggest fraction of gems wins.

[h1]Key provided by developer/publisher. This does not effect my review.[/h1] Dexterity Ball 3D is an unconstrained, physics and skills based platform game, which can be played in three modes. There is no convoluted back story or adventure included. Your goal: collect all the gems as fast as possible. Are you ready to be challenged?! [b]Tags: Action, Indie, Racing, Physics, Difficult, 3D platformer, Puzzle-Platformer, Singleplayer, Multiplayer[/b] [h1]List of notable features[/h1] [list][*]Levels: There are 20 unique “speed run” levels, each with a different focus. However, all of these speed run levels have the same priority: collect ALL of the gems in order to open the teleporter at the end of the level. My favorite level is #3: Yeah Magnets. It throws you into a map with platforms that have no guide rails. Situated along the map in similar locations to gems, you can find and collect magnetic power ups which allow you to stick to walls. This provides for a very unique platforming experience. [*]There is also another game type: which is called endurance. There are 3 different endurance levels. The goal in this game mode is to survive the longest (while collecting gems). By sur…10 found this helpful

A marble game, where you have to collect Gems leading to the end, in pretty hard levels, and where most of the fun lies in breaking the game in amazing ways. This game has the advantage of being amongst the few marble games on Steam, and it's actually miles better than its predecessor, Spectraball. There's little you can do, but that's not a bad thing, as you'll be navigating your ball on thin platforms and scale up arrangements of beams, shifting gravity along the way. Collecting Gems makes even the more open levels linear, but that's an ok enough goal, although it could've been nice if you could see the ghost of the next Gem; you can't collect them out of order. This game delivers on "good" difficulty for the most part. Well, almost, the jumping mechanics sort of doesn't work, pressing the jump button once makes the ball do one of the most pathetic jumps I've ever seen, it feels unnatural; you can do a Double Jump, but it's a strange learning curve that might annoy people, as it did for me. The Magnet Ball, which is used a few times through the game, doesn't really work as advertised, it sometimes sticks off walls and makes gravity shift in unexpected ways, it's almost a be…3 found this helpful
