Incredible Shrinking Sphere

ISS: Incredible Shrinking Sphere is an isometric action-puzzle maze game with similarities to Marble Madness and Spindizzy. Players guide a controllable sphere from the start of each level to its endpoint through four linked sections.

Functional squares provide essential movement and strategy options, including changes to the sphere’s size and physics. Revolving squares can fire the sphere in a random direction, while ramps launch it at high speed in its current direction. Weapons and shields help overcome hazards, although black holes are always fatal.
