A downloadable Spike Balls for Android

Spike Balls V1.4 (first public release):

Spike Balls explores dexterity mechanics by requiring you to tap the incoming floating spike balls which will otherwise hit your character. As you progress, the spike balls will come in at a greater speed and the fun background music will accelerate to show you this! You get three lives which are demonstrated by rotation of the platform you are standing on. Once it's rotated three degrees, you are done and must start again.

This is a fun game to have on your Android which will certainly entertain you when you are bored. Enjoy!


Controls

Tap once - destroys red spike balls/picks up health points

Tap twice - destroy black spike balls

Install instructions

1. Download the APK file to an easy-to-find location on your computer (like your desktop). 

2. Before you can install it on your phone you will need to make sure that third-party apps are allowed on your Android device. Go to Menu > Settings > Security > and check Unknown Sources to allow your phone to install apps from sources other than the Google Play Store.

3. Once you've downloaded the APK file on your computer, connect your Android device to it.

4. At this point, you may be asked if you want to charge your phone or connect it as a 'media device.' Choose Media device. 

5. Then, find your phone's folder on your computer and copy the APK file into a folder of your choice in your Android device. 

6. You will now be able to search for the file location in the "My files" app of your phone.

7. Find the APK file, tap it, then hit Install. 


Note: Newer versions of Android do things a little differently. Rather than check a global setting to allow installation from unknown sources, you'll be prompted to allow your browser or file manager to install APKs the first time you attempt to do so.
