## What is Red Ball ™?

Download Red Ball™, a single-player endless arcade game that you won’t be able to put down. Use your finger to guide the player’s hand and catch the ball — but be prepared, the ball gets faster as the game goes on! A shadow shows where the ball is heading. The more centered your palm is on the shadow, and the longer your palm is on the shadow, the more likely you are to make a catch!

- Collect coins as you play to unlock new balls and backgrounds.
- Make sure to avoid hazards with your hand — if you hit them, you will lose the game.
- Find clovers to become immune to hazards and get a guaranteed lucky catch for the next five balls!

FEATURES:
- Shop: Over 40+ unique balls and 10+ cool backgrounds to unlock with coins. Collect them all!
- Level Up: Earn XP with every catch. Unlock exclusive balls at level 25 and level 50 and boost your catch luck every time you level up!
- Achievements: Unlock GameCenter achievements by breaking your high score, collecting coins, leveling up, and finding the secret ball.
- Leaderboards: Compete with friends on GameCenter across high scores, coins collected, XP collected, and balls unlocked.
- In-app purchases: Buy coins or remove advertisements. Completely optional.

### 1/5 — The Eighth Wonder of the World

*2025-07-20, version 1.0.2*

I am also a Red Ball fanatic who plays the game every day and every where, no matter the locale. I love the intrusive ad banners and the fact that the game plays like an early flash game developed by a kindergartner. I look forward to playing this nearly broken mess in all of my locales. All of them.
