Ball Puzzle

Guide a rolling ball through 240 hand-crafted tile mazes—can you slide the path into place with the fewest moves?

Ball Puzzle throws out the frantic tapping most hypercasual games rely on. Instead you get a calm, almost meditative grid of tiles—some slideable, some stubborn iron—and a single ball waiting to roll. The goal sounds simple: rearrange the path so the ball can travel from start to finish. But by level 20 you'll be staring at a knot of tiles wondering how you ever thought this was easy. What hooked me is how the game respects your intelligence. Each level is a small physics puzzle disguised as a sliding block game. You drag tiles to create a continuous groove, but the ball only moves after you hit go. That means you can set up a route, test it mentally, and undo a mistake without penalty. The iron tiles are the real wrench—they lock certain positions, forcing you to route around them in clever ways. I remember a mid-game level where I had to snake a path around two iron blocks that seemed to block every possible route, then realized I could slide a tile backwards to create a loop that fed the ball around the obstacle. That small moment of 'oh, that works' is the core loop. 240 levels is a lot, but the difficulty curve is fair. Beginner levels teach the basics, while Expert stages had me using the hint button more than I'd like to admit. The hint system doesn't give you the full solution—it nudges one tile, leaving you to figure out the rest. Undo is unlimited as far as I can tell, so experimentation is encouraged. If you enjoy spatial reasoning, this is a satisfying brain workout that never feels like a chore.

Move the sliding tiles to create a path for the ball. Aim to win with few moves as possible. Iron tiles can't be moved. If you are stuck, you can undo your move or use the hint. Enjoy hours of gameplay in 240 levels ranging from Beginner to Expert.

Always scan the whole board before moving—iron tiles are easy to overlook. Use undo liberally; there's no penalty for testing a path. The hint only shifts one tile, so try to solve around it after the nudge. Plan backwards from the goal tile for complex later levels. Slide tiles in small increments to avoid blocking your own future route.
