The premise, in the publisher's words
You are a ball. You roll, you jump, you fall. You try again. The Masochistic Ball is a 2D platformer that starts off light-hearted… then steadily descends into madness. Over the course of 40 carefully designed levels, the difficulty grows — from smooth and approachable beginnings to brutally demanding challenges that test your timing, control, and persistence. No enemies. No guns. Just pure platforming, and the sweet taste of failure. You’ll still need sharp reflexes and sharper focus to make it through the later levels. The Masochistic Ball is for players who like a good struggle, a satisfying climb, and that tiny voice that says “okay, just one more try.” Do you have what it takes to roll…
