Pushed Balls

How many balls can you guide home before the board turns into a traffic jam? Pushed Balls tests your spatial brain one tap at a time.

Pushed Balls is one of those puzzle games that looks deceptively simple until you're twenty levels deep and still chasing that perfect clear. You've got a flat board with a handful of colored balls and matching holes scattered around. Tap anywhere on the screen and every ball within the blast radius gets shoved away from that point. The goal sounds easy: roll each ball into its matching colored slot. But because every push moves multiple balls at once, you're constantly fighting your own physics. I kept coming back for the chunky, elastic feel of the collisions. There's a moment when you tap right between three balls and they roll into their holes in near-perfect sync—a little dopamine hit. Then you realize you just nudged a fourth ball into a wall corner where it's now completely stuck. That tension between careful planning and chaotic chain reactions is the whole game, and it gets genuinely tricky once conveyor belts, walls, and multi-colored locks show up. Don't expect a tutorial to hold your hand. The first few levels teach you the basics through trial and error, and then the gloves come off. Some levels have a move limit, so you can't just brute-force your way through. I found myself staring at the screen for minutes, mentally tracing ripple effects before each tap. It's a thinking game disguised as a casual time-killer. Works great with a mouse or touchscreen, and since it's browser-based, you can jump in for one puzzle or twenty without committing to a download.

Tap on screen to play this game.

Tap slightly off-center of a ball to push it in a curve—straight-on taps often cause messy pile-ups. Before you commit, scan the whole board: one push can shove a ball into a dead corner you didn't notice. If a ball keeps rolling past its hole, try tapping the exact opposite side to slow it down on approach. Chain reactions are your friend but also your enemy. Sometimes the best move sacrifices one ball to free three others. Move limits are brutal. Always plan two taps ahead, even if the first tap looks clean.
