Hilli Ball

Hilli Ball is a quiet little game about one small thing done well: rolling a ball to the top of a hill and stopping it there. Press and hold to build up power. Let go. Too little and the ball rolls back to you. Too much and it sails over the crest and away down the far side. Get it right and it settles on top, and you move on to the next hill. That is the whole game. There is nothing else to learn. FIFTY HILLS Each hill asks a slightly different question - a long gentle climb, a narrow crest, a double hill with a gap in the middle. The difficulty jumps around; an easy hill can sit right after one that takes you twenty tries. A WHOLE DAY, HILL BY HILL The hills move through morning light into the middle of the day, then late afternoon, sunset, dusk and finally night, with the moon and fireflies. Cottages, rivers, orchards, windmills and mountains sit in the distance. Butterflies drift over the daytime hills. PLAY IT FOR A MINUTE OR AN HOUR No timers, no lives, no energy to wait for, and no penalty for missing. Try a hill as many times as you like. The game keeps track of how many balls you used to finish all fifty, so there is something to beat next time if you want it - and nothing pushing you if you don't. THINGS TO EARN Glitter balls in pink, teal, blue and orange, and Animal Friends - horses, sheep, a fox, an owl, geese, a deer and more - who turn up quietly on hills all the way through the game. Both are optional and purely decorative. Neither changes how the ball rolls. MADE TO BE CALM Soft music that fades between scenes, gentle sounds, and both can be turned off in settings. No accounts. No sign-up. No leaderboards or streaks. Nothing to miss out on if you put it down for a month. Free to play, supported by ads.
