How to play Sky Ball Run

Sky Ball Run is an endless three-lane ball runner. Swipe between lanes, jump the gaps, smash through walls on a boost, and fly through portals into new worlds.

How to play

  1. Change lanes

    Swipe left or right to roll one lane over. Swipe twice, fast, to cross two lanes. On a keyboard, use the arrow keys or A and D.

  2. Jump and slam

    Swipe up to jump barricades, gaps and spiked mines. Swipe down in the air to slam straight back to the track.

  3. Ride the ramps

    Yellow ramps carry you up onto the roofs of the blocks. Stay up there for the coins, then drop off the end.

  4. Grab the power-ups

    Green boost pads launch you forward and let you smash through anything in your way. The magnet pulls in every coin nearby.

  5. Go the distance

    The run keeps getting faster and the track gets busier. Hit a wall or fall off the track and you can revive once, with an ad or 25 stars. After that the run is over, so chase your best score.

  6. Spend your coins

    Every coin you grab is saved. Spend them in the Balls shop on new balls, from a cool blue Ocean ball all the way up to a mirror-tiled Disco Ball with its own light show.

Tips

  • Look two obstacles ahead, not one. The lane you need next is often the one beside you now.
  • Coins often lead straight at a crate or a rolling boulder. Stay for the last one, then slip aside at the final moment.
  • A last-second dodge counts as a close call and is worth bonus points.
  • Save your jumps for barricades and gaps. Tall blocks cannot be jumped, only dodged or climbed from a ramp.
  • A boost turns every wall into points. Steer into them while it lasts.
