Superball

SuperBall, a former interactive game show from the German TV station Sat.1, revolutionized viewer participation by allowing them to directly influence gameplay through calls to the moderator, who guided a ball through an obstacle course based on their instructions. This adaptation takes the concept into a digital format, offering players a hands-on experience where they must control the ball themselves.

The primary objective in this application is to navigate the ball for as long as possible while avoiding obstacles. A notable challenge arises from the mechanics: once the ball is in motion toward one edge, players are unable to alter its direction, adding a layer of strategic planning to the gameplay.

Several control modes enhance the user experience:

• Tilt: Tilt your device left or right to move the ball in the corresponding direction.
• Swipe: Swipe left or right on the screen to guide the ball accordingly.
• Tap: Tap on the left side of the screen to direct the ball left, or tap on the right side to steer it right.
• Shake: Shake your device to switch the side of the ball, with an initial tilt required to set its direction.

Players have the option to submit their scores, allowing them to compare their performance with others, fostering a competitive spirit within this engaging application.
