Ball Breaker is a fast-paced 2D arcade shooter where you control a cannon to destroy numbered balls before they reach their objective. Levels gradually become more challenging and require fast reflexes, clever movement and smart upgrade decisions to achieve higher points.
How To Play Ball Breaker
Each level will progressively fill the screen with numbered balls, all of which are slowly falling towards your cannon.
- Select a good firing position with the gun to the left or right.
- The cannon will shoot itself on the nearest balls to it.
- Destroy the ball by shooting at it repeatedly until the number on it becomes zero.
- Dodge the falling objects, and don't hit the cannon.
- Upgrade by collecting coins and jewels that drop while you are playing.
- Unlock new weapons and gear to survive longer in every level.
As you advance through the game, the balls will grow larger and the numbers on them will increase, meaning you'll need more bullets to take them down. The speed of the descending waves of balls will also increase.
Control Instructions
On PC (Desktop)
- Move the cannon with the A/D keys or Left/Right arrow keys.
- Or hold and drag the left mouse button to aim the cannon as you choose.
On Mobile
- Just swipe left or right on the screen to move the cannon.
Tips For Playing Ball Breaker Well
- First deal with the smaller balls, since they die faster, making the screen less cluttered and lowering the pressure of the falling balls.
- Keep the cannon moving all the time, don't stand still for too long, because if you do, it's possible to get stuck under the big falling balls.
- Upgrade your cannon often to enhance damage. Balls get tougher later on.
- Save your ultimate for the hard scenarios - like when you find a huge ball, or a dense wave of balls out of nowhere.
- You can take advantage of collecting as many coins and gems as you can, as these are the major resources that will help you unlock more powerful equipment in the long term.
