Red Ball Forever 2: Bounce Past Spikes and Take the Keys Back
📚 Game Guides: games picked by genre, one page each
What is Red Ball Forever 2?
A little red ball has to cross one level after another, and you steer every bounce. Spikes and patrolling enemies stand between you and the kingdom's stolen keys. Each level ends at a flag, and getting there in one piece is the whole job.
How to play
Roll left and right to build speed, then press jump to clear gaps and spike beds. Land square on top of an enemy and it gets flattened; touch one from the side and you lose a life. Stars and keys are scattered along the route, and you pick them up simply by rolling through them. The level is done when you reach the flag at the far end. Run out of lives and the level restarts from the beginning.
Controls
| Key | Action |

| Up arrow or W | Jump |
| Touch | On-screen direction and jump buttons on a phone |
Tips
- Build speed before you jump; a standing jump will never carry you over the wide gaps.
- Drop onto an enemy dead centre, because clipping it at the edge damages you instead.
- On moving platforms, jump the moment the platform starts drifting away from you, not as it comes closer.

Levels unlock one by one, and the count varies by version, but the traps keep getting more varied as you go.
Can I play it on a phone?
Yes, direction and jump buttons appear on screen, though a keyboard feels more precise.
