Author's Description: The latest game from the swedish indie-developer Monokey. Bollen (means 'the ball' in swedish) is a cute puzzle/platformer with nice pixeled graphics and very nice oldskool-type music. The goal of the game is to lead Bollen to the red flag. There're enemies (and friends too) on the way however. Bollen can only move left and right and must use the green ghosts or the jumpblocks in order to get to higher places. Collect 25 coins for an extra life and collect the golden cup on all levels to unlock the secret extra stages. Try it out!

Screenshots
Public Opinion Overall Rating: 9.3 9Nice graphics, and music (ad nauseam). Amazing what you can do with just left and right controls. 10Bollen is a great game, one of the best that I've played in a while. Such a simple concept, but it's really fun and addictive. Graphics, music, controls, it's all fantastic. 9This is a very well-done game. Keep up the good work!
