Introduction
Red Ball 4 is a 2D platformer game developed by Yohoho Games and published by FDG Entertainment, known for its engaging physics-based puzzles and vibrant graphics. In this game, you control a red ball on a mission to save the world from evil minions who aim to turn it into a square shape.

How to play
Controls
- Move Left and Right: Use the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard to roll the Red Ball in either direction.
- Jump: The up arrow key allows you to jump over obstacles, pounce on enemies, and reach higher platforms.
Gameplay
- Move: The core of the game involves moving the Red Ball from the starting point to the end of each level. Along the way, you’ll encounter various platforms, ramps, and environmental puzzles that require a combination of rolling and jumping.
- Defeating enemies: The primary way to eliminate the square minions is by jumping directly on top of them. A successful pounce will flatten the enemy, allowing you to proceed safely. Be careful, as running into them from the side will result in losing a life.
- Utilizing physics: The game incorporates a simple yet effective physics engine. You’ll need to use momentum to your advantage, rolling down hills to gain speed for longer jumps or to push objects.
- Overcoming obstacles: Expect to face a variety of challenges, including laser beams, swinging platforms, and bodies of water. Timing your movements and jumps is crucial to successfully navigate these hazards.
- Boss Battles: At the end of certain worlds, you’ll confront a more formidable boss enemy. These encounters often require a specific strategy to defeat, such as luring them into traps or repeatedly jumping on them at the right moment.
- Collecting stars: Each level is dotted with stars. While not essential for completing the level, collecting all the stars is a fun extra challenge and a mark of true mastery.
With its engaging gameplay and cheerful aesthetic, Red Ball 4 offers hours of entertainment for anyone looking for a fun and satisfying platforming adventure. So, get ready to roll and show those squares that a round world is a happy world
