About Keep It Steady!

Main Idea of the game

In this game you will rely on physics as you take control of a paddle or platforms left and right sides. With this ability you will be able to lift up or down either side of the paddle allowing you to be able to control the mass of a ball sitting on top of the paddle. Your goal is to be able to manipulate the paddles left and right sides correctly to make the ball sitting on top of the paddle roll into a randomly selected glowing hole to get points while also trying to avoid the other unlit holes around it.

Game Modes

There are so far 5 game modes currently in the game they are Classic, Endless, Climb, Phantom, and Speedball. Currently Climb and Phantom are the only ones with sub game modes. Each sub game mode having a twist on the main game mode they are from.

Classic

In the Classic game mode you are to move the sides of the paddle up and down to roll the ball in the glowing hole to score points. But be careful if you are to roll the ball accidently into a black unlit hole it will cost you a life. if you lose too many lives the game will be over.

Climb

In the Climb Game mode you will be trying to guide the ball away from every hole as long as you can. If you touch any hole it will make you lose a life and if you lose too many lives it will be game over. However every hole is moving in either a up, down, left, or right direction making it a challenging experience to dodge every hole thrown your way. The holes also speed up over time making it harder to dodge them as you try to continue to get the best time. Your only goal in this mode is to survive as long as you can and get the best time.

Climb Point

Climb Point is a sub game mode in climb that has slightly different objectives. It is basically the same as all the other climb sub game modes except for there is a glowing hole you need to get. the hole is randomly chosen and will be moving downward with the other holes. the holes in this mode will only come from the top and be going downward. If you miss a glowing hole it will chose another hole. All you have to do in this mode is stay alive as long as possible while also getting the glowing holes to increase your score.

Phantom

In the Phantom Game mode you will do exactly the same as in the classic mode but there is a twist. Depending on the sub game mode selected you will have one item in the game (ball, paddle, holes) flicker and disappear for a short time. The objects that disappear will be gone for a short amount of time but will then reappear again shortly.

Speedball

In the Speedball game mode it will also be exactly like the classic mode however, to get points you will need to make the ball go as fast as it can into the correct hole to get more points. The faster the ball moves into the correct hole the more points you will get for that hole. If you use barely any speed you get no points. the points you can get from this game mode are 0, 1, 2, 3, and 5. To get 5 you need to make the ball go incredibly fast into the correct hole.

Endless

In the Endless game mode it will also be just like the classic mode except you get to play infinitely! You will be able to get your scores higher than what can be done in Classic or Speedball. There will also be a timer to show you how long you have played the endless mode as well. The more points you have and the shorter amount of time you got them in can show the world how good you are at the Endless mode.

High Score Board

This game features a online or local high score board for all game modes. On the online board try your hand at being the best in the world at one of the game modes or even all of them! On the local board you can play against others who use your device and you can have a friendly competition with people around you you know.

It's impossible to get so many holes (50!) in 3 minutes , so the game cannot be 100%'ed . Apart from that, is a decent idea for a puzzle which is crippled mainly by ugly graphics, insane difficulty and a bad UI design. Thanks for all the fish. [3/10]

"Keep It Steady!" is a garbage Adobe Flash/mobile app tier minimalist reflex based puzzle game where you use two paddles to move a bar up a screen with a ball on it, avoiding the other balls. I should say circles, the developer behind this doesn't know about 3D graphics. In 2024. At least it's not an asset flip. Or pixel "art". I don't know if this is any better. What do you do in the game? Well, you just move the ball around the screen basically. This game features very lacklustre minimalist "art" for graphics instead of anything remotely contemporary. I'm sure the "developer" thought this would come across as "artistic", but it doesn't, it comes across as "really lazy". Yes, contemporary 3D graphics take a lot of time and effort to create. That doesn't mean it's okay not to bother! Developers must try to understand that gaming is a visual medium, and gamers spend a lot of money on high end gaming rigs for a reason. And that reason is not so they can look at lazy, phoned-in half efforts like this. Insultingly, the developer insists that you should play this with a console peasant children's toy gamepad instead of KB+M. Developers should try to be aware which platfor…

If you are aware of the arcade game 'Ice Cold Beer' this is pretty much that. Overall its fun to play a round or two of, its a fun enough challenge and it's satisfying to land on the leader board. One gripe is that the music is really bad, muted that after my first few games. One could argue that it doesn't look great but its so dead simple that it doesn't really matter. Overall, its free, and it takes up very little storage, and its fun. (Edit 8/8/25) Music is much better now, no real complaints anymore :)
