Lumiappaday #116: Fast Ball 2 demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800

From the game’s screenshots at Marketplace I thought this was going to be like the classic Nokia Bounce where you have to navigate a ball across different labyrinths of sorts. Anyway, no it’s not that, it’s actually just your simple run and jump style game. The ball has its own propulsion and you just have to avoid obstacles. Touch any and you have to restart. It’s very addictive.

In cartoon mode, the game kinda looks like the original Bounce, but there is also a futuristic spacey theme – the levels are all the same just in a different colour scheme.
