Deflect the Speed Ball is a fast timing game where a homing ball keeps coming back faster every time you hit it. Watch the ring around the ball: when it turns green, deflect at just the right moment to send it flying.
You can play Deflect the Speed Ball online for free with no download needed, right in your browser on phone, tablet or computer. As your speed climbs, the reaction window gets tighter, so every deflect takes sharper focus.
Along the way you can open crates for new swords and special abilities, giving your fighter a different look and a new trick for standing up to the speed ball.
