Red Ball 4: The Hero We All Need
Stumbled across Red Ball 4 while browsing for something quick to play. Man, was I in for a surprise! This isn't just another platformer - it's got personality, challenge, and that addictive "just one more level" factor that kept me glued to the screen way longer than planned. Released on 01.01.2023 and getting regular updates (latest one dropped 08.14.2025), this little red hero has been rolling into hearts worldwide.
The premise? Evil minions want to turn our beautiful round world into boring squares. Only our bouncy red protagonist can save the day. Sounds simple, right? Yeah, I thought so too. Boy, was I wrong about the "simple" part!
