Ultraman Ball is one of those weird little Game Boy gems that makes you go, "Wait, what?" at first glance. Instead of the usual giant hero action, you're rolling around as a tiny Ultraman-turned-ball, bouncing off platforms and enemies like some kind of cosmic pinball. The controls take a second to get used to—you're not running, you're rolling, and the physics feel just janky enough to keep you on your toes.

It's got that classic early '90s Japanese quirkiness, with bright, chunky sprites and levels that flip between "kinda easy" and "why is this jump so precise?" out of nowhere. Not gonna lie, the ball gimmick grows on you after a while—there's something satisfying about ricocheting off walls to squash bad guys. Just don't expect deep lore or anything; it's pure, silly arcade fun.
