Does the game remember my best score?

Often it does, using your browser's own storage on that device. It will not follow you to another phone or computer.

No, but it helps. Many arcade games put audio cues on obstacles and power-ups, so headphones can make the timing easier to read.

The guide

Overview

Hero Ball is a fun platform game with a friendly and round little character that needs to find all its friends. Take on the role of a bouncy ball and start moving and jumping through every stage to find all the characters trapped in those horrible cages, but try not to be harmed by all the traps and enemies.

What it's like to play

Half the fun is the restart button. In an arcade game you are never more than one tap from another go, and the game knows that. It ends your run abruptly, shows your score next to your best, and waits. Sessions are made of these loops. The rules stay simple but the pace keeps shifting, so what felt impossible on the first attempt feels routine by the tenth.

How to play

1Tap or click once to start and once more to jump, flap, or fire. If a direction is needed, swipe or use the arrow keys.
2Lead your movement slightly. Obstacles arrive faster than they appear to, so act when they are still a little way off.
3Treat bonuses as optional. A bonus you could not reach safely was never a bonus.
4Pay attention to the score screen between runs. It often shows what you did better or worse than last time.

Why it's worth a go

Hero Ball is immediate. There is no loading beyond the first few seconds, no download and no sign-up. Within half a minute of arriving you are playing, and within two minutes you have a score to beat. For a free browser game, that is all you need.

Who it's for

Reflex players, high-score chasers, and anyone who likes a little friendly rivalry over a phone passed around a table. Children like the early part of every run; adults like the part where it gets hard.
