The latest and, in my opinion, greatest of the Ball Revamped series has been released! Ball Revamped IV: Amplitude is now available on John Cooney's website, jmtb02.com.
John has returned to the original stationary playing field from his previous scrolling version in both parts of III, and added plenty of new obstacles and power-ups in 100 new levels to keep you satisfied for a good half an hour or so. Controls are the usual arrow keys, and [P] for pause.
Although some of the obstacles are recycled from past versions of the game, there is plenty of new material to keep you satisfied. The level design is great, and as always, every ten levels introduces a new stage. This means the music and background change, and new power-ups are often added, too. My only complaint would be the looping music clips are incredibly short and get annoying quickly. Even more annoyingly, there does not seem to be a mute button, so you'll need to mute the main volume control of your computer. However, this is more than made up for by the great physics and amazing level design. Overall, an excellent addition to a great series of games. Click.
Cheers to Shang and DooMerPS for suggesting this one. =)
Update: Sound can in fact be turned off from the pause menu. Thanks, Role!

Hi Gryph. Oh, wait! I'm getting a vision! A psychic vision!: you have Flash. . . .version. . .I'm getting a number. . .it's. . .it looks like an upside down L. . .it's too small! It's a 7! Oh no! Go get Flash 8! Quick!
I bet you that's the problem. If not, what browser/OS/version of Flash do you have?

That took...around 1200 seconds of my life.

Wow good game! I love the ball Series! First time through and I got 718 Seconds and 118 Deaths... Haha hopefully next time will be better!
Posted by: Trev | January 21, 2006 6:14 PM

Another great addition to the Ball Revamped games.

Actually, the game music can be turned off in the pause menu! So I guess this game doesn't have flaws ;).

The final boss was annoying and stupid. Jeez, after all that I just quit.
*grumble*

I got through to the "gathered" level (25 or so?) and had to stop after that. Does the difficulty ramp up?
Posted by: anon | January 21, 2006 11:06 PM
I'm with you harukio. up until the last boss, i was thinking this was the best ball revamped game so far. I love the new additions and the half-way boss was great. But the end was just terrible. I quit after a few tries.
Posted by: Joe | January 22, 2006 12:23 AM
argh, on the last boss it plays fine but when it gets to the hand slapping the screen bit it goes really jumpy until it gets back to the begining of the cycle again, which makes it quite the impossible to actually hit the exit door, i managed to hit it 4 times and finish the game but it took ages and about 400 deaths on top of the 20 i had in the game... very very frustrating

Anyone else's game freeze on Level 50? Or is that just me? If so, it'd be nice to have a level code for level 51. If anyone's willing to play through two levels for me, then 49's password is

Hi Wulfo, i had no problem with L50.
So heres the code for L51:
cheers,
cosie
Posted by: cosie | January 22, 2006 8:45 AM
Level 55
Posted by: Leon | January 22, 2006 9:18 AM
That is lvl 52 tho'. Forgot to look at 51, sorry.
Posted by: Brandon | January 22, 2006 11:17 AM
51s PW is
also, the game seems to freeze right before lvl 50 for me also, it may be loading the boss fight, or something. Did you give it time to see if it gets better?
Posted by: THSS | January 22, 2006 12:21 PM
Mostly the game was quite enjoyable, but I agree that the final boss fight wasn't up to par. Having to dodge around for 20 seconds waiting for the one second when you can hurt it is just ...sorta an MMORPG-ish time sink. It doesn't make the game more challenging or fun, just take longer.
Up until that though, quite good.
Posted by: Sriad | January 22, 2006 3:25 PM
Wow, what a game.
100 levels... the final battle makes me want to go play Super Smash Brothers
Posted by: Mason | January 22, 2006 4:33 PM
I feel honored, all because I had to go out to eat in the middle of the game.
Posted by: Role | January 23, 2006 11:33 AM
whats the password for 56 and the last level?
i cant get past those darn lasers
Posted by: kevin | January 25, 2006 5:41 PM
The game has a problem...why won't it load at the start?!
Posted by: Tyler | January 31, 2006 7:45 PM
Hi Tyler, the game loaded just fine for me. Do you have Flash 8 installed? From the looks of the comments above, I'm thinking that it's a requirement for this game.

Phew. Finally finished it. I have to say in all my gaming experience, the two bosses in this game are by far the most annoying I've ever seen. The first one because it rotates (I'm so glad it didn't change colours) and the second one because of that brain thing with three stick parts coming out of it. What is that thing anyway? It just kills you every time and it takes ages. Well, either way I got time:1009 and lives:171 though about 65 of them were waiting for The Creator to actually do something constructive (ie. make himself vulnerable), but other than that its a solid game with quite good game play.
Posted by: Gohst | February 1, 2006 9:13 AM
Have you guys even played Ball Revamped III: Gemini? Now THAT was an SoB of a final boss. The battle just went on and on and on, million shapes, million patterns.. this final boss you complain about is as easy as a pancake. Learn the pattern, it's really not that hard.
Posted by: baba | February 1, 2006 11:46 AM
omg! i can not get passed level 91.... anyone got the code for 92? pwease....

LEVEL 101!!!
Final destination... I cant beat it!
Posted by: lewis | February 25, 2006 4:18 PM
Actually, there are flaws. The main problem is there's no way to pause or change options during that last boss battle (which frustrated me so badly I cried. I still haven't gotten it.) I had it running on Best Quality, which our DSL can take, but right around when it shows the square in the first level of the second boss (the Creator) the frames run so fast I don't even see anything, and will therefore probably never get past that level. In addition, the level codes are so small I can't even read them.
Posted by: JD | February 25, 2006 5:00 PM
I beat the game with a horrific score: time 2987 and 1178 deaths(Due to the last boss battle and went to the bathroom in middle)But hey I beat it. >_I beat the game with a horrific score: time 2987 and 1178 deaths(Due to the last boss battle and went to the bathroom in middle)But hey I beat it. >_

if u use it u can get to the falling spikes area in 4 seconds. i used it at school alot
Posted by: William | January 8, 2007 9:26 PM
Ok. One thing, The code for LEVEL 100 is genesis. The final boss is called "The Creator." Practically the creator of the game is John Cooney, so you might be fighting a colored hand drawing of John.
Posted by: AJ | January 9, 2007 5:03 AM
Sorry about that last post. Its register
That is the REAL password for LEVEL 100.
The Miniboss music is the usual Ball revamped boss tone
(for Trianguia and that crazy twin ball) while the Boss tone is the instruction tone on Four Second Fury/Frenzy/Firestorm.
Posted by: AJ | January 9, 2007 5:20 AM
to get to the 95th lvl do lvl code Brand
2nd boss is Creator.
Hit him 5 times when he shows his damn exit.
the cool thing is that the 5 lvls before lvl Genesis(2nd last lvl) is SHAPED AND CALLED 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Genesis is simply go down and hit teleport powerup, then go to exit. See? That easy! OH WAIT! YOU BEAT THE GAME! CONGRAGULATIONS!

I finally passed them all and no lives lost.
Posted by: I passed all Ball Revampeds | August 16, 2007 2:31 PM
@I passed all Ball Revampeds: True, but did you pass Ball Revamped 5: Synergy?
Posted by: AJ | August 16, 2007 9:18 PM
If anyone has a slow connection, or processing power don't bother. it's fine until level 101, but on that level the frame rate is too fast. It bounces about and the portal disappears before the frame rate catches up.
Was loving the game, had less than 100 deaths until level 101 and had to give up. Even on the lowest quality. Sort out the ending!!!
Posted by: SliderSteve | August 24, 2007 1:10 PM
i beat final boss time:855 deaths:135
Posted by: pee wee | October 4, 2007 8:09 PM
I need codes for level 56 55 50 and 70 if any one could do that for me I'll be very happy oh and the code for 70 is the most important thanks!
Posted by: Cassie | October 16, 2007 2:48 PM
Final boss way too difficult - put me off playing the game. Key gameplay problem is the buffeting whenever the hand smashes the screen or the fists punch in from the side. If the exit was always placed on the screen (eg. hovering around the top so it was still targetable but not always accessible) it would relieve some of the frustration and boredom of waiting around for the rest of the boss cycle. Rest of the game was excellent.
Posted by: Tachikoma | November 13, 2007 5:53 AM
AHHH! the boss is so hard!!!!!! i cant touch him!!!!!!
Posted by: Ryan | November 23, 2007 6:30 PM
I can't touch that ridiculous hand! The game lags and the frames starting from the slap thing to the beginning goes in just like 10 seconds! This is just maddening! I mean seriously! It's just crazy! I couldn't even get within 3 inches of the exit!
I've died 2,045 times and my time is 3,764! I haven't even touched the target once!
Posted by: Anonymous | January 4, 2008 12:38 PM
I finally beat the damn game!!!
1482 seconds and 620 deaths. I had like 200 deaths until the final level and then I just gave up trying to dodge and waited for the target.
Whew!
Posted by: Catie | February 14, 2008 6:05 PM
The Hand Was EASY! Might be cause I have Comcast >:D The only complaint I hive is that it is impossible to dodge the slap and you die 3 times! All of you who want the ending: The hand is shown exploding and the ball vanishes. It shows your grade. F! Beat that!
