Exciting Gameplay with a Simple Rolling Ball
This game, inspired by "Rolling Sky," captivates with its simplicity: a ball just rolling along. The Scratch community has embraced and extensively remixed this concept. The most popular remix is the sequel, "Ball Rolling 2" (link provided below).
Simplicity in Design: A Single Sprite and 100% Pen Usage
Remarkably, the game comprises just one sprite and is entirely created using Scratch's pen feature. I admire this creator for his other 'bullet' projects too, his calculations and designs are always impressively elegant.
Interactive Course Creation Enhances the Fun
The real joy of "Ball Rolling" is in the ability to edit courses. After starting the game with the green flag, press the 'A' key. You'll be able to navigate the course with crosshairs. Press the spacebar to alter the course tiles, adding or removing them. Use the left and right arrow keys to change tile positions. It might be a bit confusing initially due to the lack of visual aids, but you'll get the hang of it.
You can edit everything from "Ball Rolls 1-5," even creating devilishly challenging courses for yourself!
If you're up for a tough challenge, try previewing the entire course by pressing the 'A' key before attempting to complete it.
[3D] Ball Rolling Series: An Overview
This series, all from the same author, includes several variations. Here's a brief introduction to each, in the order they were released. You can play all the games in the first series by clicking the link below.
Ball Roll 1: BGM is "Red Soul like a Hozuki" by Touhou Koumago.
Ball Rolling 2: Four times harder, featuring colored tiles for jumping. The author cleared it in 30 tries. BGM: "Runate Elf" by Toho-Koumago (with a clear movie).
Ball Roll 3: Eight times harder, also with colored jump tiles. BGM: "Shanghai Tea House" by Oriental Red Magic (clear movie).
Ball Roll 4: An 800 times harder version (lol). The author couldn't clear it. BGM: "Is U.N. Owen her?" from Touhou Koumagou (clear video).
Ball Roll 5: A 1600 times more challenging version, akin to a kaioken double-up.
International Success and Recognition
"Ball Korokoro" has gained significant traction internationally. Notably, super-scratcher CrystalKeeper7 remixed it, receiving an incredible response.

This is a successor to the hugely popular 3D Rolling Sky! Were you relieved after completing the last one? Well, there’s more. The floor starts rising from the very beginning. The tension here is rising, too! Let’s roll!
Create a course
To switch to course edit mode, press the green flag, then press the A key before starting. Because this game has many obstacles, it’s would be a good idea to preview the course by pressing the A key. Even in the preview stage, the obstacles will pop out of the tiles, so you can think of how to work yourself through them. Looks like the creator cleared it in one shot!
BGM: “Voile, the Magic Library” by the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil

There are bars now, but no worries, the bars will go up. The lasers can somehow be cleared, too. But the waving floor! I fell dozens of times here. The creator hasn’t cleared the game yet! BGM: Eiyasho Touhou~Imperishable Night ‘Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke’ *The edit mode for New/ Rolling Ball 4 and 5 is the Z key, not the A key.

Although there are many remixes of Rolling Sky, this series really inherits the spirit of the original. The courses are well thought out and it makes you feel like you finally found the one. The difficulty level is quite honestly devilish. The name of this series is “Rolling Sky”. This game inherits the same name of what the original game was based on. I’m putting it up because it’s cool. Let’s roll!

" "Running in the Night" is a popular song, isn't it? I also love this song. The longer you can keep a ball from falling into a pit while the song plays, the longer you can listen to it. If the ball falls, the song stops and you have to start over from the beginning. So, the desire to listen to the whole song grows, and you find yourself trying again and again. I believe it's enjoyable from both perspectives: keeping the ball from falling and wanting to listen to the song until the end.

Summary of the author's notes
MK New Ball Roll 1 A new version of the ball rolling game with extra features like floors, jump floors, ledges, lasers, fragile floors, wave floors, and barriers. This one's easier than before. The fragile floors now look more like transparent glass. We've also cut down on the number of blocks from over 9000 to less than 7000 to make the game run smoother. There are some changes in the game's design too. It's so easy, the creator cleared it on the first try. Check out the next game at the Scratch website. No more heavy music, just fun rolling!

In this game, you control a ball by moving your mouse pointer left and right, avoiding numerous obstacles as you make your way to the goal. To start the game, click your mouse in the center of the screen! Delicate handling is required, so adjust your mouse sensitivity to a comfortable level before playing. You can clear the stage by breaking the ball multiple times and starting over, learning the stage's gimmicks as you go. Completing all the stars within a stage is quite challenging, but it's rewarding.

Summary of the author's notes: Shoutout to Ak-tui248 for creating the original "MK Ball Roll Challenge 1" and s00384206 for "New Ball Roll 5 Final". Here's what you need to know about this game: It's the start of the series! This time, it's super easy - it's the first one, after all. Difficulty level: 1 out of 10 stars. Keep an eye on the top left for data display, showing high score, number of completions, average, completion rate, and attempts. Fun fact: When you clear the level, sometimes a different kind of victory message pops up instead of the usual "YOU WIN". Background music is "Shanghai Teahouse". Looking forward to continuing this series with you all!
