About Don't Explode the Ball
In the game Don't Explode the Ball, you control the ball and must do everything possible not to touch the spikes and not explode. The upper and lower sides of the screen are completely covered with spikes, but spikes randomly appear on the side walls. You have to tap the ball, jump and guide the ball so that you hit the side walls without touching those spikes. Every time you touch the wall, you earn one point, and you have to keep doing it and earn more points. But keep in mind that as you progress, the game will become more difficult, and in addition to increasing the number of spikes, they also move to higher levels. Every few seconds a heart will appear on the screen, you will be able to catch it. These hearts are used in the store to unlock new skills. There are 5 different theme colors and 5 different balls to choose from.
