Our take on Forgotten Ball
The defining mechanic is rotating the surrounding world by 90 degrees, changing the plane available to the ball and shaping how platforming routes through the tower are approached.
What is Forgotten Ball?
Forgotten Ball is an abstract platformer set in a large, connected cubic labyrinth.
The player controls a ball while ascending a tower through platforms and puzzles. Movement takes place across three spatial planes, with an ability that turns the surrounding world by 90 degrees so the ball can travel along another plane. Red geometric entities patrol the environment and obstruct progress. The tower provides limited clues about the ball’s origin and purpose, while the overall setting uses a minimalist style and an open-world structure.
How Forgotten Ball plays

- 02Cubic tower
- The ascent takes place through a connected labyrinth containing platforms, puzzles, and roaming red obstacles.
- 03Sparse narrative clues
