The briefing

About this game

Airball is an action-adventure puzzle game in which an evil wizard transforms you into a ball of air with a slow leak. To become human again, you must find the Spellbook and the ingredients for the spell within a maze of 150 isometric rooms.

The rooms can be explored freely, but some areas require specific objects, such as a candle for dark rooms. Sharp hazards can burst the ball, while the constantly decreasing air supply creates a time limit. Pumps found throughout the maze can refill the air, though they must be left before overpressure causes an explosion.
