"When you present an Englishman with a principle or an instrument, no matter how impressive it may be, you will see that the English mentality is focused on finding a flaw, a drawback, or an impossibility with it. If you mention to them a machine for peeling potatoes, they will say it's not possible. But if you demonstrate it peeling a potato before their very eyes, they will still dismiss it as useless because it can't cut a pineapple." -- Charles Babbage.
MyLittleBall is the game that puts you, the player, in the position of a bouncy little red ball with an undying urge to further elevate himself by means of randomly arranged platforms.
Challenge a friend and then try to defend your high-score by blasting him off the screen.
User guide
Game modes
Standard Mode - Be the ball. Holding it normally, rotate the WiiMote left and right to control Mr Ball up and up and up! Keep bouncing on the platforms to avoid falling (falling is a bad idea).
Two-Player mode - Same rules apply, except a second player can pick up a WiiMote, press B in mid-game, and start dropping bombs on the player controlling the ball. Just point and press B to drop.
Controls
Wiimote:
A - Start game
Minus - Pause game
Tilt - Move/Control the ball
Pointer - Point at where to drop the bomb
B - Join the game, Drop bombs
Home - Return from where you came
Player 2 can join any game by pressing B on a second WiiMote. Then, point at the screen and drop bombs to blast your opponent off the screen.
