In Brief:
Spherun is a simple 11 level, top down physics based puzzle game where you have to navigate the ball to the yellow exit point by avoiding or smashing through any obstacles using the arrow keys.
Care needs to be taken not to knock down the walls otherwise you may block your way to the exit and do not leave the blue platform/background otherwise you'll fail.

Press Esc to return to the main menu. Clicking on play will bring up the level map. All levels are unlocked from the outset.

Levels become steadily harder to beat as you progress through the levels. Watch out for the balls momentum, The faster you move, the longer it will take to stop moving.

You can see a video of game play HERE

Conclusion:
Overall Spherun is a decent physics based puzzler and ideal for coffee/tea break situations where you need to take a short break from more important matters. My only negative would be the number of levels included with the game. It's more akin to a demo than a full version game.
Notes on Security
I scanned a zipped copy of the installed game using Virus Total and it found zero hits from ? antimalware engines. You can see the scan HERE.

This reminds me somewhat of Marble Madness, one of my all-time favourite games (even though I'm rubbish at it!).

So in Spherun, we're in top-down 2D, so there's no gravity, and there don't appear to be (?) any "baddies" chasing you either. But like MM, you must stay on the "path" (the blue square) or die; and you have that pesky inertia of the ball to deal with. I believe the striped barriers/walls are fixed, but the white blocks/boxes are push-able.

All a little simple perhaps for some of you, but I'm certain I would find it incredibly frustrating to play, having seen the video of gameplay! One for people with steadier hands than myself, I suspect?

Cad Delworth,

Ah yes Marble Madness. you can get it free over on MyAbandonware together with several other marble rolling games HERE. There are three versions, one of which is a construction set.

You can also find 30 free marble rolling games over on Rudy's Caiman games HERE; some very similar to marble madness.

The first computer game (not counting the education games we bought) I bought my son when he was around five years old was called Marble Blast Gold, which is also listed in the MyAbandonware page that I've linked to above.

Today's game reminds me of an old Playstation 1 game Irritating Stick which was trying to bank off a popularity of a game show.. Except if you ran into the barriers you would have to start over as you were shocked.

You can see the game here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ePkBHX1rDo

The game is best enjoyed with analog controls.

Also a sequel was made for Neo Geo called Irritating Maze. You can find that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E-201c6Vv8
