Brazen Ball: Roll Through Saws, Lasers and Spikes
📚 Game Guides: games picked by genre, one page each
What is Brazen Ball?
In Brazen Ball you drive a robot ball. The courses are packed with saw blades, lasers, meteors, magnets and wind, and the finish marker sits at the far end. Getting there is only half of it, because the point is getting there quickly.
How to play
Roll the ball left and right to move, and jump when an obstacle appears. Each level has a finish marker, and reaching it means touching no saw, spike or laser on the way. One touch and the level starts over. Your time is being recorded, so standing around costs you as well. Even when you pick up collectibles, try not to break your flow.

Tips
- Jump after you have built up speed rather than at the foot of the obstacle, since the ball carries further as it accelerates.
- In the magnet and wind sections tap the keys briefly instead of holding them, or you lose your line.
- Do not try to clear a level on the first attempt, learn the route and cut your time on the second run.
Frequently asked questions
Is my time recorded?
Yes. The game measures how quickly you reach the finish, and you can replay a level to lower it.
Can I play on a phone?
The controls sit on the keyboard keys, so a computer is far more comfortable.
