I had been tracking a bit of the absolutely spastic movement from RedemberGames for what has become *HYPERBALLIN*'. It's a high-speed physics platformer placing an unnamed Silver Surfer-like character on top of home-sized marbles. The playtest was announced this week and mixes time-attack sequences and parkour-style locomotion with generative strategy, using marbles that won't stay in one place. The developer announced the work with [the announcement](https://www.instagram.com/p/Dehl54nhbaR/?ref=killscreen.com) on Oct. 16, and the playtest runs on Windows with a keyboard and mouse or a controller.

According to [its itch.io page](https://redembergames.itch.io/hyperballin?ref=killscreen.com), the player races across "multiple marble racing tracks where the floor is the enemy," chaining wall-jumps, floor-surfs, air-dashes, teleports and momentum redirects to build speed with no upper limit. Runs are graded in time-attack ranks that top out at Diamond, and the goal is to reach a figure called the Dominus. Also notable is the serene industrial skyscape, a counterbalance to the frenetic activity below.
