Play Airball (Proto2) Online
You're a deflating ball-person bouncing through wizard mazes, angling awkward jumps to avoid spikes while your air slowly runs out. The controls feel wrong until that one perfect bounce makes it all click—then you pop anyway.
Airball is one of those weird NES games that sticks with you—mostly because it’s equal parts frustrating and fascinating. You play as this sad little ball that used to be a person before some wizard decided to ruin everything. Now you’re bouncing through maze-like rooms, slowly losing air (and sanity) while trying not to pop against spikes or enemies.
The controls take some getting used to—you don’t just jump, you sort of… fling yourself at angles. At first I kept overshooting platforms or getting stuck in corners, but once it clicks, there’s something weirdly satisfying about nailing a tricky bounce. Just don’t expect mercy—this game loves watching you deflate helplessly.
It’s got that classic NES vibe where the music loops endlessly and the graphics are charmingly janky. Not for everyone, but if you like obscure, punishing platformers, this one’s a weird little time capsule.
