Route Digger 2

Scoop out the dirt, time your tunnels, and watch the colored balls roll, drop, and settle into their matching bins in this addictive arcade puzzler.

You get a cross-section of dirt packed with colored balls up top and matching bins buried at the bottom. Your only tool is a mouse or finger, and you literally dig away the earth to build paths. Gravity does the rest. The balls roll, bounce off walls, and knock each other around, so a route that looks straightforward can go sideways fast if a heavy ball clips a lighter one mid-fall. I spent way too long on one level where a red ball had to thread between two solid rock chunks—I ended up carving a channel barely wider than the ball itself, then held my breath as it wobbled through and plopped into the bin. That kind of near-miss is the whole appeal. There's no digging budget or time limit, so you can experiment, but the terrain is finite and every scoop is permanent. Undo exists, but it only takes you back one move, which turns each level into a quick logic puzzle: you'll stare at the layout, plan the ideal tunnel, and then adjust on the fly when a ball takes a weird bounce. Later levels throw in multiple colors, angled platforms, and pockets of loose sand that collapse under weight. You'll need to route balls separately without letting them mix, because once a blue ball drops into the red bin, you're back to the last checkpoint. The arcade loop is tight: solve a level in 30 seconds, fail, reset, try a different approach. It's perfect for short breaks, and the touch controls work surprisingly well on a phone—just drag to scoop. If you liked games like Where's My Water or Cut the Rope but want something more freeform, Route Digger 2 scratches that itch without overcomplicating things.

Use your mouse to play the game or tap on the screen!

Carve gently near the bottom so balls don't overshoot the containers. Plan the whole route before you start digging—every click removes dirt permanently. Watch how different ball weights react; heavier ones need steeper slopes. Use the walls to bank shots rather than digging straight down. Reset early if you misplace a tunnel—don't force a bad route. Try to keep different colored balls separated until the very end.
