(Update from Maximum: 1/19/21) Recently, the Red Ball community has learned that UltraAug, who makes an appearance in this documentary due to his discovery of spike glitch and top route 7, tragically passed away in the summer of 2018. This came as a shock to us all. This video is now dedicated to him to honor his legacy.

In 2008, a concrete mixer salesman from Russia began development on Red Ball, a simplistic flash game featuring a red ball and 12 unique levels. Released in 2009, the game became an instant hit, being played by millions around the world every year. This one game ultimately spawned a franchise that would come to pull in hundreds of millions of players and YouTube viewers through the mobile release of Red Ball 4. In as early as 2010, speedrunners sought to complete the original Red Ball as fast as possible, drawn to the game's addictive sandbox-style physics and intriguing level design. The history of world records and community actions in the eleven years that followed Red Ball's release have produced an absolutely amazing, inspirational tale that this video will aim to display.
