Red Ball 4

What it is

Red Ball 4 is a free platform game from FDG Entertainment GmbH & Co.KG, in the Arcade category with an Everyone rating. It was released on October 24, 2014, and the last update is dated July 23, 2026. You roll, jump and bounce a red ball through a series of levels, and the story is a light comic one about saving the world from boxy invaders.

What it does well

The ratings are the best argument. The game holds 4.65 stars across 3,634,394 ratings, and installs stand at 100,000,000+. Five-star ratings make up 82.6%, with another 9% at four stars. For a game that has been out since 2014, that is a lasting record.

Content is clearly defined. The listing mentions 75 levels, boss battles and physics elements that shape how the ball moves. There are traps to get past on the way, and the listing says the game has a groovy soundtrack.

It also has practical features that many casual games skip. Cloud support is listed, which suggests progress can be saved online. HID controller support is mentioned too, so you can play with a gamepad if you prefer.

The tone is light, and the content rating of Everyone suits a wide audience. The cartoon style in the story keeps the mood playful.

Where it falls short

The listing says nothing about ads or in-app purchases. A free game of this size often has some form of both, but the page does not state it either way, so the store page’s purchase notice is worth reading.

The description is also brief. It lists 75 levels but gives no sense of how long they take or how the difficulty rises. It does not mention online features, leaderboards or multiplayer, so assume a single-player game.

Finally, 4.2% of raters gave one star and 3% gave three stars. That is a small group of unhappy players, and the page does not offer any explanation.

Who it suits

Platformer fans who like physics-based jumping and clear level counts should be happy here. Players wanting depth, customization or online competition will not find any of that described.
