How a game unfolds
- Intro: present the rules, your prizes, and an eye-catching visual.
- Game: the player bounces the ball to the rhythm of the music.
- End: the Win or Lose screen appears depending on the score. You can add a Leaderboard and redirect players to your social media, website, or store through CTA buttons.
Gameplay and scoring
The principle is simple: bounce the ball on moving platforms by sliding your finger left and right. The difficulty increases gradually, which drives performance and makes players want to outdo themselves.
Baller 3D rewards precision. Depending on how accurate the bounce is, the labels Cool!, Great!, or Perfect! appear on screen, and points vary based on precision and collected items:
- Cool: 1 point
- Great: 2 points
- Perfect: 3 points
- Perfect x2: 4 points
- Perfect + Collected: 5 points
If a bounce is missed (Missed), the player loses a life: the screen turns red for 0.5 seconds and the Missed alert appears.
Levels, lives, and difficulty
Baller 3D runs in endless mode, set to a 90-second music track.
- You can customize the number of lives, from 1 to 5.
- The difficulty increases automatically:
- Level 1: normal speed (100%)
- Level 2: x1.25 speed
- Level 3: x1.5 speed
- Level 4: maximum speed maintained
In your settings, you can also manually adjust the difficulty and set a minimum score to reach the winning screen.
Visual customization
To align the game with your visual identity, you can customize several elements:
- The cursor (the ball): 1/1 image, 1000x1000 px, in PNG, JPG, or WEBP, 8 MB maximum. For example, upload a basketball visual so the cursor looks like a basketball.
- The collectible items: 1/1 image, 1000x1000 px, in PNG, JPG, or WEBP, 8 MB maximum.
- The platform pattern: 1/1 image, 1000x1000 px, in PNG, JPG, or WEBP, 8 MB maximum.

- Choose a cursor consistent with your universe, for example a ball in the colors of your sport or your brand.
- Set a realistic minimum score for the winning screen to balance accessibility and challenge.
- Adjust the number of lives based on your goal: few lives for an intense challenge, more for a mainstream audience experience.
