🌸 NAME 🌸

kball — a game of skill and reflexes for all the family 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

kball [-w] [-bppXX] [-mapeditor] [-trace]

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

KBall is a game of skill and reflexes, non violent, suitable for all ages.</purgle>

KBall is a game of skill and reflexes, non violent, suitable for all ages.

So like, the whole entire vibe: you move a ball around the map. That's it. That's the game. But — and hear me out — you gotta do it without falling, without running out of time, and you gotta grab the prizes so you can reach the exit. 🏁

The map is lowkey a hater and it's full of traps: slides, pushers, jumps, falls, walls, etc. Not me getting absolutely clowned on by a wall. 💀

Maps are viewed from top view, and the walls and the player's ball are real-time rendered in beautiful 3D. ✨ It's giving glow-up.

It is 100% non-violent FUN — Suitable for ALL ages. 🫶

Also? There's an easy to use, full map editor included, so you can make your OWN maps!! Not me becoming a game dev on a Tuesday. 👑

🌈 USAGE 🌈

You must guide your crystal ball 🔮 in the labyrinth, without falling from it, without running out of time, and picking up the ying-yang power ups, in order to exit the labyrinth reaching the floor marked with the ying-yang mark.

Besides the ying-yang power ups, there are other prizes that will have different effects on the score. 🍓

👑 TIPS 👑

• You don't need to pick up all the prizes to exit, only the ying-yang, but you may desire to get all the prizes to get a better score.
• Always keep and eye on remaining time. ⏰ (fr fr, the clock is the villain here)
• There are secret zones in some labyrinths. Look for them. 🙈
• In some levels, there are secret shortcuts.
• In some places, there are fake walls, you can go thought them and reach secret places. (yes bestie, the walls are lying to you 😭)
• You can move your ball in the middle of the air, use this to do cool jumps.
• Is better to do multiple jumps at once, using your ability to move the ball in the air to perfect the multi-jump.
• You can use a combination of controllers to move the ball (like mouse + keyboard for example).
• When you be ready to exit the level, you will see the word "EXIT" flashing at upper right. Don't try to exit the level if you don't see that word.
• Use the map editor to do your own custom maps.
• The new levels must be saved inside the "levels" folder inside the installation folder of Kball.
• Pressing <F1> in the map editor you will see a list with all the available commands.
