Ballance is a 3D puzzle computer game. It was developed by Cyparade and published by Atari. The gameplay is similar to Marble Madness: The player controls a ball that he has to move from one point to another without falling off the screen.
[edit] Balls
In the game, you can change your ball's material with special changers throughout levels. You can be a wood, rock, or paper ball.
The wooden ball is very stable and can be used for a lot of puzzles in the game. The wood ball is the very first ball, the ball used in the easy levels.
The rock ball is extremely heavy, and can be accidentally rolled off the edge of a level very easily, but this ball can easily push boxes and bridges down with ease. But beware, rolling a rock ball through a bridge made of planks will make the bridge collapse and will make you lose a life.
The paper ball is very light. Its surface is not smooth, unlike the wood and rock ball, so this ball can be a bit rough at first. This ball can be blown into the air by fans, and can roll up steep hills very easily.
