Long ago, an ancient ball artifact slept on Earth - a sphere humming with forgotten magic. Then the aliens came. They took it. They locked it deep inside their base, far from the world it once protected. But some powers can't be contained forever. The artifact awakens. Now it has one purpose: escape. You are that ball. Roll, dodge, and unleash ancient magic across an alien stronghold that does not want to let you go. Every obstacle on the road ahead is part of their defense system - and every one of them is standing between you and freedom. MASTER 6 UNIQUE ABILITIES Unlock, buy, and upgrade powers that turn you from a fleeing relic into an unstoppable force: Lightning Discharge: strike the nearest enemy with a bolt of raw energy. Levitation: take to the air, where your acceleration goes through the roof. Time Distortion: slow the world to a crawl and weave through the impossible. Wrecking Ball: swing across the battlefield like never before. Shockwave: stun every enemy around you, then crush them on impact. Pandora's Box: the ultimate power. Unlocked only when all others are mastered. What's inside? Open it and find out... 20 HANDCRAFTED LEVELS No endless runner. No procedural filler. Every one of the 20 levels is uniquely designed, with rising challenge and a real finish line to reach. This is a journey with an ending - your ending. STUNNING HANDMADE VISUALS Every model and texture is crafted by hand. From the artifact's intricate surface to the alien corridors you tear through, GravityBall is built to be beautiful. ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK A custom, original OST scores your escape - pulse-pounding when you need it, atmospheric when the base goes quiet. UNLOCK UNIQUE SKINS Customize your artifact with a collection of distinct skins and roll in style. Awaken. Dodge. Escape. The aliens stole something they never understood. Show them what it can do. Download GravityBall now and begin the escape. To deliver all 20 high-fidelity 3D levels and the complete original soundtrack, this game requires an additional one-time download of approximately 450 MB upon initial launch Terms of Use (EULA): https://nullsoftware.net/terms
