Summary

Blodia, known abroad as Timeball, is a quirky sliding‑puzzle title that first appeared on the original Game Boy and later on the X68000, but only in Japan. The core mechanic revolves around a tiny ball that rolls along tracks you assemble by dragging tiles around a grid; black tiles act as the "void" you can pull adjacent pieces into to complete a road. Press a button and the ball speeds up, but miss a piece and it plummets out of play, forcing you to rethink the layout. A built‑in level editor lets you craft your own mazes, extending the replay value far beyond the shipped stages. Fun fact: the name Blodia is an anagram of Diablo, nodding to the PC game that inspired its design.
