About Stop the Ball
Patience beats speed in Stop the Ball. A colored ball rolls along a long chute full of moving obstacles, straight ones, curved ones, cross-shaped ones, jagged and round, all turning in different directions and different planes.
Your power is the pause button, so to speak: you can halt the ball as you approach each obstacle and wait for the perfect gap before moving on. The aim is to travel as far as you can, and crashing ends the run. Control it with the mouse or by tapping the screen. Take your time, watch the rhythm of each obstacle, and go when the way opens.
