Red Ball

Red Ball is a simple little arcade-like game in which you control a ball and guide it over an obstacle track.

You have to get the ball to the finish line by jumping over obstacles and by controlling its movement speed to time its passing through all kinds of obstructions and barriers. The Red Ball game is especially popular on mobile devices, like Android smartphones.

This small Google Chrome extension lets you launch and play the Red Ball game in any browser webpage, without having to access any particular website. Just click its toolbar button and the game will start.

The thing I don’t like about this extension is that every time I click on the browser while the game is open, outside the game window, the latter gets automatically closed, closing the game as well. This is really annoying, as there’s no way to properly pause the game. The good news is that the levels are pretty short, so if you still need a quick and simple method to waste some spare time, Red Ball the Chrome extension is still a decent option. It’s free, simple to install, simple to play, and quite addictive.
