Gameplay
The gameplay throughout the games is identical, with the player controllable using WASD or the arrow keys, with space to jump. In the app, tapping and holding on either side of the screen will move the player in that direction, while a simple tap triggering the jump. In all games except Red Ball 4 and 5, the player can jump to swim in water. In 4 and 5 it just kills you.

 * The games don't appear to be canon to each other.


 * Because of this, water, Red Ball's Girlfriend, plots, and enemies are the only ones to be designed differently.
 * Both Red Ball 3 and Red Ball 4 episode 5 use rescuing the Red Ball's girlfriend as the main plot.
 * Additionally, both villains are grey.
 * The entire series seems to be based on the Bounce games by Nokia.
