Ball Attack

Mission briefing

Blast through endless waves of bouncing balls, dodge incoming obstacles, and upgrade your powerful cannon to survive longer in this intense, fast-paced arcade shooter filled with nonstop action and explosive fun!

Field manual

Drag to Move: Slide your finger (or mouse) left and right to control the cannon. Shoot Automatically: Your cannon fires continuously—focus on aiming and dodging! Destroy Balls: Each ball has a number—shoot to reduce it to zero and blast it apart. Dodge Everything: Avoid touching balls or it’s game over! Collect Coins: Use coins to upgrade your firepower, speed, and special abilities. Survive Waves: The longer you last, the tougher (and more rewarding) it gets!

Launch orders: press Launch mission above and the game loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first move. It is designed for a portrait (upright) screen and takes its orders from mouse, keyboard or touch, depending on the mission. It is built tall, for an upright screen — a phone held normally frames it best, though any window will run it. If it offers a fullscreen control, use it — a fight this size deserves the whole screen.

Field notes for action operations

• First run is reconnaissance. Spend it learning where the danger actually spawns from instead of chasing a score — most action games announce their patterns honestly in the opening minute, then repeat them with worse manners.
• Movement is a defensive stat. A moving target at half health outlives a stationary one at full health in nearly every game on this board, so keep relocating between shots, strikes and reloads.
• Learn the exit before the entrance closes. In arena and chase games alike, the players who survive longest are the ones who noticed the second doorway while everyone else was watching the first.

Ball Attack — questions from the ranks

What does it cost to play Ball Attack?

Nothing at all. The mission is free from the first order to the last — no sign-up, no download, no paid tier guarding the good levels. The advertising around this page is what keeps the board free.

What sort of mission is Ball Attack?

Ball Attack is filed in our Action theatre. Like every operation on this board, it is a browser game — read the briefing above for the publisher's own account of what you are deploying into.

Can I run Ball Attack on a phone or tablet?

Yes. It plays in the browser on phones and tablets exactly as it does on a computer. It is built tall, for an upright screen — a phone held normally frames it best, though any window will run it.

Do I have to install anything before playing?

No installation of any kind. Ball Attack is an HTML5 game: press the launch button and it loads on this page, and closing the tab leaves nothing behind.
