The goal of the game is to get a ball to touch the checkered surface long enough for you to get to the opened door.

Hitting a ball breaks its surface, reducing its size and revealing a new surface with different properties. After a short time, the ball starts reconstructing its surface until it reaches its original state.

Controls:

A/D: Move left/right

W: Jump

S: Drop ball

J: Grab/throw ball

K: Hit ball

Tips: If you need to gain more height with the throw, try to throw it with your jumping momentum. The sooner you throw the ball while jumping, the higher it should go.

If you're wondering how the theme fits the game, I'll explain it. You have a ball with a certain surface and certain properties, and when you hit it, the surface breaks, revealing the one beneath it. The new surface has new properties.
