How far will you go?
How far will you go? drops you into a minimalist arena where a single sphere is your avatar. From the first roll, the pace is brisk, but it never lets up—the velocity climbs with every moment you survive. The challenge lies in weaving through a shifting labyrinth of blocks and gaps that demand split-second steering and flawless timing. Each run is a fresh trial, pushing your hand-eye coordination to its limits as the environment whips by in a blur of color and motion. This is a pure arcade experience stripped to its essence: no levels to clear, no score to chase beyond your own best distance. The beauty is in its simplicity, yet the tension is relentless. As your speed increases, so does the intensity, turning every near-miss into a heartbeat-racing thrill. Whether you have a minute or an hour, it's an easy pick-up-and-play challenge that invites you to push just a little further with each attempt. How far will you go? The answer is up to you.

What is How far will you go?
A simple premise, an unrelenting test. How far will you go? is about one thing: keeping a speeding ball on track for as long as you can.
How to Play
Use your mouse or touch to slide the ball left or right, avoiding the oncoming obstacles. The ball automatically accelerates, so every second increases the difficulty.
Tips for Playing
- Stay centered to give yourself equal reaction time on both sides.
- Watch ahead for patterns, not just the next obstacle.
- Make small, controlled movements to avoid overcorrecting.
- Don't panic if you clip an edge—small hits don't always end the run.
- Keep your focus on your own path; distractions cause crashes.
