Mineball
Mineball drops you into a world of winding passages and silent threats. Each level is a carefully crafted maze where danger lurks beneath the surface. Your task is simple: roll the ball from the start point to the exit. But the path is never safe. Buried mines are scattered throughout, waiting to detonate on contact. One wrong turn and it's over. Success demands a steady hand and a sharp eye. You'll need to memorize safe routes, judge distances, and time your movements with precision. As you advance, the mazes twist into more elaborate shapes, and the ball's speed increases, turning every decision into a heart-pounding gamble. It's a blend of careful planning and quick reflexes that keeps you on edge from the first roll to the final gate.

What is Mineball
Mineball is a test of nerve and navigation. Roll through deceptively calm corridors where every turn could be your last.
How to Play
Use the arrow keys or WASD to steer the ball through the maze. Avoid the mines and reach the glowing exit to advance.
Tips for Playing
- Scan the path ahead before you move—many mines are visible if you look closely.
- Take corners slowly at first; sudden movements often lead straight into a trap.
- When speed increases, use short taps on the keys to keep control.
- If you hit a dead end, backtrack carefully along the exact route you used.
- Learn the mine patterns by watching the ground texture for subtle differences.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I touch a mine?
The ball explodes immediately, and you must restart the level from the beginning. There are no second chances in a single run.
Can I save my progress in the middle of a level?
No, checkpoints are not available. You have to complete each maze in one go, so careful planning is key.
Is there a time limit?
No, you can take as long as you need. However, the game's pace naturally pushes you to keep moving, and some levels feel more urgent with the ball's speed.
Are the mines hidden from view?
Mines are not fully invisible. They blend into the floor, but you can spot them if you pay close attention to the surface details.
Can I skip a level if it's too hard?
No, levels must be completed in order. But each one teaches you skills that help with the next, so keep practicing.
What happens after I finish the last level?
There is no endless mode; the game ends after the final maze. You can always replay earlier levels to improve your time.
