Beach Ball, a sports game that combines elements of soccer and beach volleyball, challenges a player to participate in one-on-one soccer matches on a beach near the ocean on a warm, sunny day. To win a match, the player must score three times before their opponent.
The player receives an avatar that they can customize and upgrade in various ways. The avatar wears sunglasses and shorts. The player can change the character's gender, skin, hair and clothing colors and give them unique headwear. They can also upgrade strength, speed and special abilities. If the player runs out of the coins needed to perform customizations and upgrades, they can earn more by watching advertisements.
Beach Ball features a setup similar to a beach volleyball area. White lines frame the entire area and each character's area. The game requires the player to kick the ball before it hits the sand on their side or impacts their body. They receive a point toward their score when their opponent receives a hit from the ball or fails to kick it back to them.
The best way to beat the virtual opponent is to kick the ball to a spot next to the center line on the opposite side. The game provides a targeting line to help direct the ball's trajectory.
