Blue Balls

Blue Balls is a video game in the action genre originally released in 1991. It is currently playable on DOS.

BlueBalls is a single player puzzle game.

The player controls a small white dot that navigates the screen using the numeric keypad. The object of the game is to eliminate, that is, to hit the Blue Balls that appear on the screen. The more balls you collect, the more points you earn. The Blue Balls appear randomly in the playing area. After a while they disappear and reappear somewhere else, which also happens when you catch one. Mines also appear randomly on the screen and can be picked up before they detonate and leave a black hole. A life is lost when the player hits the edge of the screen, any wall in the play area, a black hole or any of the red balls they leave in their wake.

The game documentation says that the game is sensitive to CPU speed. This, along with the starting level, number of lives and game speed, are set by command line parameters when the game is loaded.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
