I am Ball

A spiritual sequel to Nifflas' classic Within a Deep Forest. It nails the atmosphere and grand sense of exploration, and the character upgrades are just as interesting to mess around with. I felt like I was playing an official follow-up. The puzzles are fairly easy to solve, the challenge lies in implementing them. If you're not familiar with WaDF, think metroidvania with an upgradeable main character. You explore different themed world, pick up items that let you transform into different elemental balls, then use those abilities to explore even further. I'm normally not one for tough action games, but this was fantastic. Simple concept, well-executed. Would absolutely grab DLC or anything related in the future.

Get it ONLY IF you like challenging platform games with weird ball physics. It takes a lot of time to get used to the ball physics, the "A" key for "calming" the ball only works on floors and doesn't work when the ball bounces off a wall. There is a lot of backtracking, which is not an issue in itself, but the big problem is that there are very few save points and no teleportation, so you end up doing the same platforming challenge over and over again because you don't know where to go next. The graphics are cool, and I love the inspiration from the Within a Deep Forest game by Nifflas, but this game was a lot more frustrating than Within a Deep Forest. It sits closer to Operator Status and ModArchive Story by Nifflas.

Very fun little game. I was afraid at first that it's going to be just a bad copy of Within a Deep Forest, but it's actually a very unique experience. Interesting ball abilities and many hidden collectibles. Definitely recommended.

A similar throwback to the past days when I used to play Bounce Tails on my fosil Nokia phone. But this game is no joke, very precise phisics, unique gameplay and overall pleasant experience. Would reccomend!

This game is very pretty and fun. Very definition of a hidden gem.
