About the game

Ace Plays! is a first-person adventure for kids. Ace blows bubbles and launches bouncy balls to help the friends he meets, find hidden treasures and finish each world’s goals.

Every world has its own adventure, a treasure hunt and a timed challenge, with a star for each one. Finish a world to open the next one on the Adventure Map.

Five worlds to explore

  1. Bubble Park

    Learn to bubble and bounce in the sunny park, then play fetch with Biscuit the dog.

  2. Dino Valley

    Friendly dinosaurs, big and small. Find their eggs and help Lulu the long-neck.

  3. Coral Cove

    A sunny lagoon of puffer fish, playful sharks, baby turtles and a singing whale.

  4. Twilight Trench

    Deep down where tiny lights glow. Follow Glim and light up the dark.

  5. Frosty Peaks

    Snowy hills, sliding penguins, playful seals and a great big woolly friend.

Opening it for the first time

These apps are not signed with an Apple or Microsoft developer certificate, so your computer will ask you to confirm before it opens Ace Plays! the first time. After that it opens normally.

Windows

If a blue “Windows protected your PC” box appears, choose More info, then Run anyway.

macOS

Drag Ace Plays! into Applications and try to open it. When macOS says it can’t check the app, open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and choose Open Anyway.

On macOS 14 Sonoma and earlier you can instead right-click (or Control-click) the app, choose Open, then Open again.

Linux

Make the AppImage executable, then double-click it: right-click the file, choose Properties → Permissions and allow it to run as a program. Or in a terminal: chmod +x AcePlays-1.0.1-linux-x86_64.AppImage

If it still won’t start, your system may need FUSE (on Ubuntu, the libfuse2 package).
