Space-Balls (Game)

This article is about the Paper Computer Game, the first of the Space-Balls Series. For the tribe of Ape-Balls on which the game is based, see Space-Balls (Tribe)

Space-Balls is a Paper Computer Game published by Elvin Publishing. It is a spinoff or loose sequel to Xaq to the Future, and the first game in the Space-Balls Series. The game follows the adventures of an amnesiac protagonist who (we later find out) is named Liit, and his partner robot, Tutorial Bot. The duo is also joined by a host of other robots and creatures, creating an ever-growing party.

The game has inspired a few sequels, including Tutorial Bot's Past and Dino's Quest. It also inspired the computer game, "Bots".

Adaptations[]

As of 2020, Space-Balls is the Paper Computer Game that has received the most adaptations into other media. It was adapted into a comic book, entitled "Unknown Space Ball Captive", and also an internet cartoon, "Space-Balls".

JPGS made a lego animation very loosely based on the game, in two episodes, also titled "Space Balls".

About the Game[]

Story and Situation[]

Liit, a thus-far unknown Prisoner, wakes up to find himself locked in a jail cell on a Space-Ball Starship. In his cell, he finds several threatening robots, and also meets Tutorial Bot. Together, the two must escape the ship, land on the planet Zoniat, and survive to learn the truth of their world!

The Character[]

Liit is a prisoner with no memories. He's recently been captured by the Space-Balls and thrown into captivity. Little is known about him.

Allies[]

Tutorial Bot, Liit's robotic sidekick. His specialty is giving tutorials to players, but he's also helpful: he can fly, get small objects from distant places, and identify creatures. However, there's a mystery to Tutorial Bot—What's his true origin and nature?

Kill Bot, A Space-Ball robot, fashioned from a mutilated Guy. He's dangerous and armed to the teeth, but if you've got his activation codes, he'll protect you and help you.
