BallMan is a retro arcade game that takes you back to the good old days. The game starts in a multi-floor underground maze and challenges players to navigate through obstacles while collecting points.
The game has straightforward and user-friendly rules. You can move BallMan by pressing the "Left" and "Right" keys consecutively. Once you reach the end of the stage, you'll automatically move to the next one above. To pass each level, you must climb to the upper floor and walk through the door.
Your journey won't be easy, though, as dangerous blots will lurk in the underground. These blots include Blot-dead, which takes away one of your lives. If you only have one life remaining and you come across a Blot-dead, you will fail the level. Blot-drop will send you back one stage down, and if you are already at the bottom level, it will have the same effect as Blot-dead. Blot-slow will slow down your pace for a short time, while Blot-stop will stop you in your tracks. Blot-ice, on the other hand, will make you slide as if you're on a rink.
Despite these obstacles, you can still find bonuses to help you. For instance, Bonus-berserk will make you invulnerable to blots' harmful effects for a specific period. However, the effects of previous Blots encounters won't vanish, so you should still proceed with caution. Another useful bonus you can find is Bonus-score, which adds a definite amount of game points to your score. Lastly, there's Bonus-life, which grants you an extra life.
Overall, BallMan is an enjoyable game with simple rules and straightforward gameplay. With its cool gameplay, it's a great choice for those who want to refresh their old memories.
