"When you present an Englishman with a principle or an instrument, no matter how impressive it may be, you will see that the English mentality is focused on finding a flaw, a drawback, or an impossibility with it. If you mention to them a machine for peeling potatoes, they will say it's not possible. But if you demonstrate it peeling a potato before their very eyes, they will still dismiss it as useless because it can't cut a pineapple." -- Charles Babbage
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.
Compete against a friend and protect your high-score by knocking them off the screen!

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.
