# About BallBall

BallBall is an addictive and fast-paced arcade game built on a realistic physics engine. In this minimalist challenge, your sole objective is to keep a cascade of colorful balls from falling off the bottom of the screen. Using a simple paddle, you must react quickly to bounce the balls back up, earning points for every successful save.

The game is designed to be an endless test of reflexes and concentration. As your score increases, the challenge intensifies. Balls begin to fall more frequently and at a greater speed, pushing your skills to the limit. With its clean design and smooth physics, BallBall offers pure, high-score-chasing fun for players of all ages.

## How to Play

The goal of BallBall is to achieve the highest score possible by preventing balls from falling past your paddle.

- **Objective:** Keep all balls on the screen. The game ends as soon as one ball gets past your paddle.
- **Controls:** Move your paddle horizontally along the bottom of the screen to intercept the falling balls.
- **Scoring:** You score one point for every time a ball successfully collides with your paddle.
- **Progression:** The game's difficulty increases over time. The rate at which balls spawn will get faster, and the force of gravity will increase, making the balls fall more quickly.

## Features

- **Realistic Physics:** Powered by the Matter.js engine, every bounce and collision feels dynamic and authentic.
- **Increasing Difficulty:** The game automatically ramps up the challenge by increasing ball spawn rates and gravity, ensuring it never gets stale.
- **Responsive Design:** Play seamlessly on any device. The game automatically adjusts to fit your desktop, tablet, or mobile screen.
- **Simple &amp; Intuitive Controls:** Easy to pick up and play with support for mouse, keyboard, and touch controls.

## Controls

- **Mouse:** Move your mouse left and right across the screen to position the paddle.
- **Keyboard:** Use the Left/Right Arrow keys or the 'A' and 'D' keys to move the paddle.
- **Touch:** On mobile devices, slide your finger left and right on the screen to control the paddle.

## Tips &amp; Strategies

- **Stay Centered:** Try to keep your paddle near the center of the screen as a default position to minimize the distance you need to move for any ball.
- **Focus on the Lowest Ball:** Prioritize hitting the ball that is closest to falling off the screen. It's easy to get distracted by higher balls while a lower one slips by.
- **Use Small, Precise Movements:** Avoid wild swings. Small, controlled movements are more effective for managing multiple balls and setting up your next move.
