Sports balls rarely face this much danger. In BallVania, you steer a ball through side-scrolling rooms filled with hazards such as lasers, spinning blades, cannons and spears, in a style that borrows from tough retro games.
The controls are simple, but the levels are not forgiving, so expect to retry many times and learn each trap's rhythm. There are holes that move you from one spot to another, which adds a little puzzle thinking to the reflex work. Different sports balls are available to play as. It is free in the browser, with a pause option whenever you need a breather.
