# About Endless Ball Runner

Endless Ball Runner is a minimalist and addictive arcade game that tests your reflexes and timing. In this fast-paced challenge, you control a rolling ball on a journey across an endless path littered with obstacles. The game's clean design and straightforward mechanics make it easy to pick up, but the increasing difficulty provides a deep challenge for players aiming for the highest score.

The core of the game is its progressive difficulty. As you successfully clear more obstacles, the ball's speed steadily increases, demanding quicker reactions and more precise jumps. Your goal is simple: survive as long as possible, clear as many obstacles as you can, and set a new personal best score with every run.

## How to Play

The gameplay is intuitive and focuses on a single action: jumping. The ball rolls forward automatically at a constant speed. Your task is to make the ball jump to avoid colliding with the rectangular obstacles that appear in your path.

- **Objective:** Survive for as long as possible by jumping over obstacles.
- **Scoring:** You earn one point for every obstacle you successfully pass.
- **Progression:** The game speed increases every 10 points, making the challenge progressively harder.
- **Game Over:** The game ends immediately if your ball collides with an obstacle. You can then restart to try and beat your score.

## Features

- **Endless Gameplay:** The path and obstacles are procedurally generated, offering a unique challenge every time you play and endless opportunities to beat your high score.
- **Progressive Difficulty:** The game speed increases as your score goes up, ensuring that the challenge always keeps pace with your skill.
- **Simple One-Touch Controls:** With just one action to master—jumping—the game is incredibly easy to learn but difficult to master.
- **Responsive Design:** The game automatically scales to fit any screen size, providing a seamless experience on desktops, tablets, and mobile phones.

## Controls

The controls are designed to be simple and accessible on any device:

- **Desktop:** Press the **Spacebar** or **click the left mouse button** to make the ball jump.
- **Mobile:** **Tap anywhere on the screen** to make the ball jump.

## Tips & Strategies

- **Master Your Timing:** The key to a high score is timing your jumps perfectly. Try to jump just before you reach an obstacle. It's often better to jump a little early than too late.
- **Anticipate and Adapt:** As the game speeds up, look further ahead to anticipate upcoming obstacles. Your reaction time will become critical.
- **Short vs. Long Taps:** The height of your jump is fixed, so focus on the timing of the tap, not the duration. Quick, decisive taps are all you need.
