How to Play Tunnel Ball
Dodge obstacles by switching lanes. Walls, barriers, and gaps appear ahead and you have a moment to read them before reaching.
Navigate forks by choosing a branch. Some forks are safe on both sides; others hide dead ends that require instant reaction.
Speed increases over time. The longer you survive, the less reaction window you get, so early-game composure pays off later.
Tunnel Ball Tips & Strategies
Stay near the center when possible. It minimizes travel distance to dodge either direction, which matters as speed climbs.
Don't overcorrect. Sharp unnecessary lane changes into walls kill more runs than obstacles you failed to dodge.
Memorize recurring patterns. The same obstacle configurations repeat - recognizing them lets you pre-position instead of reacting.

About Tunnel Ball
It's a reaction-speed endurance test. The first minute is forgiving; by minute two the obstacles arrive fast enough that hesitation means collision. Patterns repeat - a wall with a gap on the left, a barrier forcing a quick lane switch, a fork where you pick a branch blind - and recognizing them buys you fractions of a second.
Speed builds continuously, so your best run is always a question of how long you can sustain focus before a single lapse ends it. Distance is the score, and beating your own number is the loop.
The visual simplicity helps. A plain tunnel with clear obstacles means there's nothing to misread - if you crash, it's because you didn't react, not because you couldn't see what killed you.
