How to Play
Black Ball controls and movement
Use WASD or your arrow keys to get moving. If you are on a phone, just tap the arrows on the screen. Black Ball controls feel a bit slippery at first, so don't expect to stop on a dime. You need to account for that momentum before you jump.
Mastering the Black Ball objective
To finish, you must grab the magic key before touching the magic door. This is how to play Black Ball properly since the door stays locked otherwise. A common mistake is rushing past the key because you are too focused on dodging hazards. Take a breath and look around.
Finding the Black Ball secrets
Every level hides a secret emerald in a tucked-away passage. These aren't just for show. You need them to unlock new skins that give you extra health. Things get much tougher by the later levels, so hoarding those hearts is the only way you survive the gauntlet.
