MyLittleBall (the most unfortunately titled form of entertainment since the console on which it is played) is the game that puts you, the player, in the position of a bouncy little red ball with an undying urge to further elevate himself by means of randomly arranged platforms.
MyLittleBall (unfortunately named game) puts you in the role of a lively red ball that bounces and strives to reach new heights by jumping across platforms that are randomly placed.

Gameplay

Standard Mode

Become the ball. Hold the WiiMote normally and rotate it left and right to control the ball and make it soar upward. Stay bouncing on the platforms to avoid falling (which is not recommended). Score as many points as you can and then challenge your friends, family, secret lovers, teachers, and coworkers!

Don't forget to bring a towel.

NEW! Two-Player Mode

The same rules apply, except a second player can grab a WiiMote, press 'B' during the game, and start bombing the player controlling the ball. Simply aim and press 'B' to drop the bombs.

Controls

Player Button Action
Wiimote 1 Wiimote A Button Start game
Wiimote 1 Wiimote Minus Button Pause game
Wiimote 1 Wiimote Home Button Return from whence you came
Wiimote 1 Wiimote Vertical Tilt Move
Wiimote 2 Wiimote B Button Join the game/Drop bombs!
Wiimote 2 Wiimote Aim Point at where to drop the bomb

Rotate the Wiimote left and right to control the ball. The larger your horizontal velocity, the greater the factor by which your vertical velocity increases (but you don't really need to worry about that).

Player 2 can join any game by pressing 'B' on a second WiiMote. Then, point at the screen and drop bombs to blast your opponent off the screen.
