Play Tommy's Starball Online

Game Overview

Tommy’s Starball is one of those weird little MS-DOS games that somehow sticks with you. You control this round-faced kid named Tommy, rolling a glowing ball through these maze-like levels full of ramps, switches, and way too many bottomless pits. At first it feels like a simple physics puzzle—just nudge the ball onto the right platforms—but then the game starts throwing curveballs, like conveyor belts that send your starball flying if you’re not careful.

The pixel art is so cheerful it almost hurts, all bright blues and yellows, and the music has that classic bleep-bloop charm. I remember getting stuck on this one level with rotating platforms for way longer than I’d like to admit. It’s the kind of game where you fail a bunch, then suddenly everything clicks and you feel like a genius for five seconds… until the next screen humbles you again. If you’ve got a soft spot for ’90s puzzle-platformers, this one’s a blast.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
