Ball Games Online: Rolling, Bouncing, Volleyball and Pong
Updated
Ball games online are games where a ball is the thing you steer, fire or hit: roll it along a floating track, bounce it into blocks, send it over a net, sort it by color or knock it past a friend's paddle. Soccer, basketball, pool and bubble shooters have guides of their own, linked at the end; this one covers the other ball games in the ball games collection.
Types of ball games
| Type | What you do | Start with |
|---|---|---|
| Rolling ball | Steer a ball along a course without falling off | WOBBLE IT |
| Bounce and aim | Fire balls that ricochet into blocks or crystals | RICOPOP |
| Net and bat sports | Volleyball, pickleball, tennis, ping-pong, baseball | Netherton Volleyball |
| Ball puzzles | Sort, guide or drop balls into the right place | Basket Fill: Ball Puzzle |
| Paddle games | Keep the ball in play and get it past the other paddle | Table Pong |
Rolling ball games
- WOBBLE IT rolls a beach ball over floating block worlds where the ball sticks to every side of a block, so a wall becomes the floor when you roll over an edge. Collect every key to open the exit before the hourglass runs out. There are 150 levels in 10 worlds, plus bonus and hidden ones. W rolls, A and D turn, Space hops and E jumps forward.
- MarbleMaze2 guides a marble past decoy holes, spinning blades, moving walls and toxic blobs to the green finish. Hold Shift to boost, or on a phone tilt the device or drag to steer.
- Roll Ball: Hole Puzzle rolls a ball across sky platforms and into a hole, past sliding walls, ice, spring pads, wind and crumbling floors. The levels are generated without end.
- Brazen Ball is a 2D race against the clock as a robotic ball, through sawblades, lasers and meteor showers. A and D roll, W or Space jumps.
- Flume (V2) is an endless run inside a half-pipe where going faster keeps you alive longer; Space boosts when the bar is full.
- Extreme Ball Balancer 3D keeps a ball on narrow wooden bridges and rails above deep water.

Tips for rolling ball games
- Ease off before a narrow bridge or a sharp turn. A rolling ball keeps its speed, so slowing early is easier than correcting late.
- Plan the route around what you must collect. In WOBBLE IT the exit opens only when every key is taken.
- Save boosts for straight, safe stretches, as in MarbleMaze2 and Flume.
Bounce and aim games
These play like a cross between a brick breaker and a pool shot: you choose the angle, and the bounces do the rest.
- RICOPOP aims a volley of balls off the walls to shatter every crystal in as few shots as possible, across 50 levels in 10 chapters. The balls come back by themselves after each volley.
- Elemental Barrage fires elemental balls at monsters that march one row closer each turn. Pickups add balls, twin balls merge into stronger ones that burn, freeze or chain lightning, and a boss arrives every 10 rows.
- Total sweep fires balls at numbered blocks. Each hit takes 1 off the number, and a block disappears at zero.
- Candy Ball Blast shoots candy balls through rows of candy bricks before they reach you, with a boss every 5 levels.
- Ricochet Paint Aim sends one ball through peg mazes to splatter targets: hold the click to aim and let go to shoot.
- Pinball: Cube Crusher uses pinball flippers to send balls into cubes, and every cube that breaks lets out more balls.

Bank shots off the walls work the same way as in bubble shooter tips.
Volleyball, tennis, ping-pong and baseball
- Netherton Volleyball is pixel-art volleyball where you call the shots for a 6v6 team. Tap when the ring turns green to serve, pass, dig and block, and pick which hitter gets the set. Beat 18 rival teams in best-of-three matches to 11 points, then win a best-of-five final.
- Funny Volleyball is quick 3D volleyball against a computer opponent: move, jump and hit the ball at the right moment, with matches of a couple of minutes and different characters and balls.
- Pickle Ball Clash plays pickleball with swipes: a long swipe sends the ball far, a short one near.
- Tennis Guys is 3D tennis with swipe controls.
- PongFu makes you a panda playing ping-pong in a bamboo arena: curve the ball, smash, and beat opponents with clever angles.
- Baseball Mania sends you 10 pitches; click or tap to swing and hit as many home runs as you can.
- Batting Kings is a run of baseball matches where you time each swing with the mouse to hit the ball and score.

Ball puzzles
- Basket Fill: Ball Puzzle draws arrows that guide sports balls into baskets of their color, across 120 levels with portals, magnets and bumpers.
- Wool Sort: Yarn Color Puzzle sorts yarn balls into tubes by color, over 50 levels and 3 difficulty modes.
- CollisioX moves all the balls at once with a swipe. Each one slides until it hits something, and balls of the same color merge.
- Ball and Maze slides a ball through a maze to collect every star.
- Hole in One is a set of physics puzzles solved by flicking a ball into a glass bowl.
- Tomato Bounce launches a tomato from platform to platform over 50 levels; the fewer jumps you use, the more stars you get.

Pong and paddle games for two
Wikipedia's article on Pong describes Atari's 1972 arcade game: each player moves a paddle up and down one side of the screen, and a point goes to the player whose opponent fails to return the ball. These keep that idea.
- Retro Pong is the plain version: first to 5 points wins, for one or two players on the keyboard.
- Table Pong is table tennis for two on one keyboard, one player on WASD and one on the arrow keys, with on-screen arrows on a phone.
- Multiplayer Pong Time finds you an online opponent after you type a nickname.
- REFLEX PONG is for one player who moves two paddles at once, W and S for the left one and the up and down arrows for the right one, through a 2-minute round. Space raises a shield.
The same idea with a puck instead of a ball is in how to play air hockey.
