Running of the Ball
A downloadable game for Windows
The Running of the Ball is a popular winter sport in which two teams flee from a massive rolling snowball. This year's teams, Team Double Button and Team Always Growing, are the best of the best and will play a great game for excited fans of the sport.
You play as the sneaky Gamblin' Joe, who has placed bets on *both* teams simultaneously. He plans to rig the game so that both teams score an equal number of points, creating a tie. In the event of a tie, both teams win and you make big money on *both* of your bets.
Do you have what it takes to rig everyone's favorite sport and pull off the perfect crime?

This is such a fun and original concept! I love the idea of turning a winter sport into this chaotic, high-stakes game with a sneaky twist. Playing as Gamblin’ Joe trying to rig the match adds a clever layer of strategy and humor — it’s not just about running, it’s about timing and planning, which makes it super engaging. 👏
It actually reminds me a bit of a rhythm-based running game I’ve played recently, where precise timing is everything. Have you ever tried Speed Stars? You can check it out here: https://speedstarsunblocked.net — it’s all about hitting the left and right keys in perfect rhythm to race your way to victory. I think fans of this game would really enjoy it too!
