Ball Balance Controller

A physics character controller with personality: a cartoon rider desperately balancing on a giant rolling ball. Includes 11 ready-made games, AI riders and a no-code level designer.

Controller

• Torque-driven ball physics: roll, steer, jump, dash, brake — with grip, rolling resistance and weight you can tune
• Simulated balance (inverted pendulum) with a tipping point: speed changes, landings and bumps all knock the rider around
• Full fall cycle: ragdoll tumble → climb back onto the ball → victory pose; head-bonk collisions on low obstacles
• Procedural character animation (Animation Rigging): treadmill legs, scramble, windmill arms, panic flail, googly eyes, squash & stretch
• Works with your own humanoid characters: automatic convert, scale, rig and ragdoll

Editor tools

• Setup Window: character, 7 ball skins + size, feel presets, one Difficulty slider, one Silliness slider, camera presets, audio slots, and a Validate page with one-click fixes
• Game Scenes window: 12 one-click scenes (test playground + the 11 games), with per-game rider count, team size, AI skill and round length
• Level Designer: top-down blueprint editing with live 3D preview, 21 placeable pieces, "Continue the track", levels saved as assets, one-click test play
• Trailer camera: 7 cinematic shots, slow motion, HUD-free clean mode

Gameplay kit

• AI riders with skill / aggression / accuracy personalities; spectate when you're out
• Throwable props (crates, beach balls, rubber chickens) with carry poses and auto-aim
• Balance HUD, over-head balance indicators, kill feed, scoreboards, countdowns and restart handling
• Scripting API: events, external input (SetMoveInput, Jump, Dash…), Push/Fall/Respawn, and a game-mode base class

Compatibility & content

• Unity 6 · Built-in Render Pipeline and URP (one-click material conversion)
• Requires Input System and Animation Rigging — a bundled installer adds both
• Keyboard + mouse and gamepad controls out of the box
• All meshes, materials, effects and sounds are generated — no third-party assets; replace any of them with your own
• Quick Start PDF (5 pages) + full Documentation PDF (21 pages) with scripting examples

Roll the ball. Stay on top. Try not to laugh.

Ball Runner Controller puts your character on top of a giant rolling ball — legs scrambling like a log roller, arms windmilling, googly eyes panicking. The balance is a real physics model, not an animation: push too hard, land too heavy or take a beam to the head and the rider tumbles off in full ragdoll… then scrambles back up the ball and strikes a victory pose.

It plays great in thirty seconds and stays funny for hours, which makes it a perfect base for party games, streamer bait and “one more round” prototypes.

Built for designers, not just programmers. One Setup Window does everything in plain language: pick a character, pick a ball skin, drag a Difficulty slider from “forgiving fun” to “circus tightrope”, and drag the Silliness slider to scale all the comedy at once — noodle spine, floppy head, tongue out, squash & stretch. Drop in your own humanoid model and the window converts, scales and rigs it for you, ragdoll included.

11 games in the box. Every one is a normal Unity scene, created with one click and yours to tear apart:

• Obstacle Course — ramps, bumpers, see-saws, hammers, checkpoints and a best time
• Last One Standing — the arena keeps falling into the sea; last rider riding wins
• Race — against AI riders that wobble and crash just like you
• Hot Potato — pass the lit bomb before it goes off
• King of the Hill — hold the zone, shove everyone else out
• Falling Tiles — every tile you touch drops away
• Paint the Floor — 3v3 turf war, most floor wins
• Ball Soccer — push a giant ball into their goal
• Waiter Race — deliver a tower of cupcakes without wobbling
• Bowling — giant pins, real ten-pin scoring
• Endless Roller — a track that builds itself and speeds up

The AI riders have personalities (skill, aggression, aim), lose their balance believably, and will absolutely throw a rubber chicken at your head.

Make your own levels without code. The Level Designer window has a top-down blueprint view with a live 3D preview: click to place floors, ramps, bumpers and hammers, hit “Continue the track”, then test-play your level in one click. Levels save as assets you can reuse anywhere.

Everything is self-contained. The cartoon mannequin, ball skins, materials, effects and even the sounds are generated by the asset — no third-party dependencies. Swap in your own clips, materials and characters whenever you’re ready.

For programmers there’s a clean scripting API underneath: events (OnJump, OnFall, OnBalanceChanged…), external input hooks for your own controls or AI, and a documented game-mode base class to build new rules on.

Works with Unity 6 on the Built-in Render Pipeline and URP (one-click material conversion included). Uses the Input System and Animation Rigging packages — an installer sets both up for you.
