"GooBall" is a Mac computer game by Over The Edge Entertainment and published by Ambrosia Software. In the game the player assumes the role of an alien stranded on Earth. "Goober", as the alien becomes known to the CIA, is stuck inside a life support device made of protoplasm (hence the title). The gameplay is similar to the "Super Monkey Ball" series; the player tilts the environment and Goober rolls around in it collecting gems and making his way to the end gate. The only difference is that Goober can stick to surfaces by holding down the command key.

"GooBall" was created with an early version of Unity game engine, before it became publicly available.
