About this game

Impossaball is an action-puzzle game released in 1985 for the Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum. You control a ball that continually bounces through checkered 3D environments filled with walls, ceilings, spikes, cylinders, magic rings, and other obstacles.

The objective is to land on every cylinder in each level, squashing them down to ground level. The ball can be directed while moving or bounced higher to build momentum, but careful movement is essential: spikes must be avoided, and magic rings can either increase the remaining time or cost a life depending on how often they are touched.
