SpeedBall

SpeedBall is a casual arcade game for Android in which we have to escort a ball rolling along a platform full of obstacles that we have to try to dodge.

Control a ball rolling around at full speed

Remember that futuristic video game from the 80's where we had to play some kind of violent sport on an ice rink that combined elements of ice hockey and handball? If you're getting old, you've probably played SpeedBall on your Atari, Amiga, Commodore 64, or Sega Master system. Well, we're sorry to disappoint you, but this version for Android has nothing to do with this title from The Bitmap Brothers, or with that racket and ball game that you can buy in any old sports store.

A frenetic game that requires good reflexes

SpeedBall is basically a casual game for Android with a storyline that you can guess from the name. A ball is rolling at full speed along a blue path full of obstacles and we'll have to try to avoid them by swiping left and right to avoid colliding with them. The speed of the game is frenetic, to such an extent that each game usually lasts less than the ads we have to watch to keep playing.

And that was it. The truth is that there isn't much more to say about this game in APK format than its simple entertainment proposition. As we add points to our score for advancing on the platform, we can acquire new skins for our ball to turn it into a soccer ball, a heart, an arrow, a flower or even a Poké Ball.

Also, with an in-app purchase we can get rid of all those annoying ads and participate in the global leaderboard with the other players when we access the game from our Google Play Games profile. All in all, a decent game to spend our free time, although it can also be quite frustrating.

Requirements and further information:

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 4.1.
• The app offers in-app purchases.
