In addition to the main campaign there's also a survival mode, pitting you against waves of enemies in a selection of trap-filled arenas. It's fun enough for a few minute's distraction, but it's unlikely to hold your attention for very long. Still, the main game is decent while it lasts - and although that only amounts to a couple of afternoon's worth of play (or one, if you're a jobless student), that's not a bad deal for the budget price of £15. The Ball won't lure many people away from the triple-A hits of the year, but if you're in the market for a spot of first-person puzzling, it's well worth the entry fee.
In this weeks Fantastic Neighborhood, Fred covers the Beta release of Electronic Super Joy, New Levels in Rayman jungle run, and expanded Ouya coverage including reviews of Deep Dungeons of Doom, You Don't know Jack, and One Tap Hero.
Fred then hosts a new Let's Play segment, but he may be full of hot air.

Mike from D Pad D Bags Says:
The Ball from Teotl Studios here is a first person puzzle game that takes inspiration from Portal. The player is an archaeologist exploring what is assumed to be Mexico who falls into a giant ditch. It just so happens that your colleagues can’t rescue you anytime soon, so they suggest you do some exploring.
