Play On the Ball (Europe) Online
Tilt a 3D maze like your life depends on it, trying to guide a ball through before it plummets into the abyss—just when you think you’ve got it, the game laughs and throws chaos at you. That level 7 still haunts me.
On the Ball, released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992 by Asmik Ace Entertainment, is a puzzle game that stands out from the platform's more action-oriented library. It arrived during a period when developers were experimenting with new ways to use the SNES hardware, and this title offered a different kind of challenge, one built on precision and patience rather than reflexes.
You control the tilt of a maze viewed from an isometric perspective, carefully rolling a ball through a series of obstacles and traps. The main objective is to guide your ball to the exit on each screen, avoiding pitfalls, moving platforms, and enemies that can knock you off course. Signature mechanics include manipulating levers to alter the maze's layout and timing your movements to sync with moving parts. The pacing is deliberate, and the difficulty ramps up significantly as later stages introduce more complex, multi-layered puzzles. It feels like a constant, tense negotiation between your inputs and the game's physical unpredictability.
