The game!
The Ball is a one funny and very engaging game, it is kinda based on that thought perhaps that we all once had that what if I could throw away a huge ass ball at people with immense force, what would happen then?
Well we are not exactly saying we have the answer but we are close because we are shooting a huge ass ball with immense fire power but at creatures and ancient architectures.
The ball is the story or call it a setting of a guy, an archaeologist trapped inside an underground ancient city that holds science and magic in its fabric, you have to get out of here and all the while escaping the enemies that will try to harm you!
And all you have got to defend your self is a force launching gun that helps you push or pull a giant ball that works both as a puzzle solving element and as an enemy repeller (killer).
And that should set at least half of you to get it right now.
The gameplay!
The gameplay is simple as eating an ice cream or drinking a fruit tart or publishing a book on the internet, all you have to do is just aim your ball (no pun intended, wait a minute all puns intended!) and use it so that the available puzzle challenges at each level of the game (there are total 8 in total) get solved and a way gets revealed.
However there will be enemies trying to stop you because they want to invite you to their so awesome pajama party going on since forever, so you smash their numb skulls with your ball (ah, we always wanted to write something like this like from forever!).
The whole dungeon like fantasy underground ancient city is designed keeping the Lara Croft games in mind and the gameplay is heavily impressed by Portal.
The game, The Ball is a first person action and adventure game that is available in a Potato Sack Bundle along with 12 other such interesting indie games, available on OnLive and Steam, of course.
The company!

The appeal!
The humorously interesting and pretty curious gameplay mechanics imbibed game, The Ball is one very fun game that holds all its uniqueness in its concept of the ball!
