Super Linearball is one of those weird, obscure SNES games that makes you go, "Wait, what is this?" at first glance. It's a Japanese-exclusive puzzle game where you control this little ball that rolls along these straight lines—hence the name—and you've gotta clear stages by hitting switches or avoiding obstacles. The controls take a second to get used to since momentum matters, but once it clicks, it's oddly satisfying.
Honestly, the whole thing feels like someone took a pen-and-paper maze and turned it into a minimalist arcade challenge. The music’s got that early '90s synth vibe, and the stages ramp up fast—some later puzzles had me restarting way more than I’d like to admit. If you’re into niche retro puzzlers, this one’s a neat little time capsule.
