On the Ball is a ball rolling game that was originally released as Cameltry (1989, Arcade).
+ 100 stages are available, so there's plenty to keep you occupied and the inclusion of 3 credits per world is generous.+ Multiple paths throughout the stages results in increased replayability as you attempt to beat your high score.
+ Scattered time bonus items add a risk-reward element as to whether it's worth obtaining them due to the ticking clock.
+ Controls are spot-on (affording you extreme precision) and the ball physics are surprisingly accurate.
- Offers nothing new after the first world and the difficulty pacing is wildly inconsistent as you progress.
- Some gimmicks tend to frustrate rather than entertain, such as the reverse gravity that flips your controls.
- Game doesn't remember your progress after beating a world, so you must enter a password at the title screen to continue.
