Swipes Ball

One careless swipe and the ball is skewered on a spike—time your flicks like a surgeon to clear every physics puzzle.

Picture this: a ball, a grid of spikes, and your finger hovering over the screen. Swipes Ball is the kind of puzzle game that looks deceptively simple until you're stuck on level 14 and your fingertip is sweating. You drag anywhere on the screen to aim a directional swipe, and the ball shoots off in that direction. There's no mid-air control—once you let go, you're just watching physics do its thing. That's the beauty and the curse: every level is a chain reaction waiting to happen. You'll bounce off walls, ride moving platforms, and dodge spinning blades. Sometimes the ball moves exactly how you predicted; other times it clips a corner and rolls backward into a pit you forgot was there. The levels escalate from 'cute and easy' to 'why did I ever start this?' I remember one stage with three moving magnets that redirected the ball mid-flight—it took me eleven attempts because I kept forgetting the middle magnet pulses on a timer. The feeling when you finally thread the needle and the ball drops into the goal is worth the frustration. There's no lives system, so you can retry instantly, which is dangerous for your free time. Visually it's clean and minimal, so the physics are the star. The ball has a nice weight to it, not too floaty, not too heavy. Color-coded obstacles help you read the level at a glance. It's the kind of game you can blast through in ten minutes or sink an hour into while convincing yourself 'just one more level.' Perfect for when you need a quick brain teaser between classes.

Use mouse or drag in the screen to play this game.

Aim slightly past your target—the ball's bounce often changes the final landing spot. Moving hazards have predictable patterns; wait for the gap, then swipe. Bank shots off walls are more reliable than threading a narrow direct path. A quick short flick gives way less power than a long, deliberate drag. Don't obsess over stars on your first attempt; finish the level and come back later.
