Introduction
A basic overview of the game
Meriball is the National Sport of Meridell. It's a game simuiliar to the real life game, 'Wall ball' and 'Handball.' Instead of using your fists or hands, you use a stick to hit the ball. The game is to hit the ball to the wall and bounce off for your opponent to hit, and so on, back and forth until someone misses the ball.

Playing the Game
How to play the game
Choose a character to play with (characters are walked through below) and start the game! You will start off the game by serving the ball to the wall, by pressing space bar. It will bounce of the wall for your opponent to try to hit. If your opponent misses the ball, you win a point and you'll serve again. Win 5 points before your opponent does, and you will move onto the next round to compete with a much tougher opponent. Be careful and watch out for burrowing Symols. They will pop out suddenly and you will trip over! In this game there are also power-ups, which you and your opponent can collect, that may or may not help you (explained below).
Power-Ups
The evil and helpful power-ups
- Faster Ball - This power-up can help and sometimes go against you. It makes the ball travel faster, which comes in handy to outplay your opponent. Though it can easily outplay you.
- Slower Ball - This power-up causes the ball to travel slower. It isn't a great power-up to use unless you like boring, slow matches.
- Double Size - This power-up doubles your size. Be sure to grab this every time it appears, because it is a great power-up.
- Shrink Opponent - Another recommended to get power-up. This power-up will decrease the size of your opponent!
- Reverse Direction - This ball will reverse the direction of the way the ball bounces off the wall.
- Bomb Drop - This power-up will drop a big bomb on the playing field. Get away from it when it drops and blows up. You can get stunned if you get too close!
- Random - This power-up will result in a random effect.
The Characters
Choose your favorite
There are three items you want to consider when choosing a character: Speed, Recovery, and Power
- Lisha - She's the ideal character to pick, because all three components are great.
- Morris - This character is great for its Recovery. he can recover faster from being tripped by Symol or stunned by a bomb.
- Kayla - This character doesn't have much Power or Recovery speed, but her Speed is great!
- Boris - This character is not too great. All three of the components are bad.
- Jeran - This heroic character may not have the speed or Recovery speed, but his power is awesome!
Extra Tips
Tips to better at your game

- When you and your opponent hit the ball back and forth, the speed of the ball will increase gradually each time it is hit.
