Guide a ball through a maze of platforms and trampolines to reach the goal. With each move, you’ll need to switch worlds at the right moment to create a safe path forward. Timing, precision, and quick thinking are the keys to dropping the ball into the goal! Created by John Bauer and Peter Brumbach for 2D Game Design at Grove City College
