Red Ball 4 - Game Walkthrough (all 1-15 lvl + Boss fight)

We're back with the latest in our Red Ball series of articles!  This time around, we're going to go over Red Ball 4, the sequel to previously covered Red Ball 3.  It has essentially the same gameplay, but with some changes and improvements here and there.

First off, you'll notice that the graphics are simpler for the main character.  Everything is also much bigger than in the previous game.  This makes it so there are fewer things visible on the screen at any given time, but it has the bonus of making things a lot more detailed.  While the eponymous red ball still has a few facial animations here and there, they tend to be less pronounced than in the previous game.  Still, there are some interesting new animations added to the little guy;  sadly, those animations are mostly for when he dies.

Probably the animation that'll be seen the most often is the standard death animation where the red ball vanishes in a puff of smoke and ascends to the sky as a ghostly winged figure.  Hopefully you won't see it too often though, and the developers of the game have aided you in that regard by doing away with the one-touch death.  This time around, you've got three hearts so you can take some damage before going down.

That's just as well, as there are a whole bunch of baddies wandering around.  For the most part, they're easy enough to get rid of, but they can be annoying and will certainly get in your way.  In contrast with your round redness, the baddies are all dark, frowning squares who roll (do squares roll?  Round things roll, so do squares scroll?  Enough silliness, on with the article!) about and try to squish you.  There aren't that many variations of the baddy though, so don't expect too wide a variety.

There are various ways to get past them though, easiest of which is simply to do just that, go past them.  If that's not an option though, you can jump on top of them while channeling a certain Italian plumber.  Alternatively, you can use the terrain to your advantage and squish them underneath boulders, smash them into cliff faces, or even drown them.  Just be careful that you don't drown yourself, unless you really want to see that animation that is.

One downside is that the levels are not quite as complex as in the previous game.  Sure, they look a lot nicer, and the level of detail has certainly risen, but you won't have the same level of interactivity and zaniness as in the previous game.  That's not to say that the game isn't fun though, it's still a great game.  There are, however, fewer levels, but as there are two more volumes to come with Red Ball 4, that's not as much of a problem.

And that about wraps it up for the first volume of Red Ball 4.  Stay tuned, and we'll get to Volume 2 before you can say "red ball"!
