Throw Ball in the Hole

Lob, bounce, and curse as the ball teeters on the rim—can you sink every sphere into its matching bucket before your patience snaps?

I didn't expect a game about throwing balls into holes to get under my skin, but here we are. The first few levels are almost insultingly easy: one white ball, one bucket, a gentle lob. Then Throw Ball in the Hole introduces a second ball and a second bucket, and suddenly your brain has to juggle angles, power, and which colored ball you're aiming at. I spent an embarrassing number of attempts on a level with three red balls scattered across wooden planks, each needing its own red bucket on the opposite side. The game never rushes you—there's no timer—but that just means you'll sit there overthinking every flick. The 3D physics do most of the heavy lifting. Balls bounce off walls, roll down slopes, and sometimes clip a corner in a way that feels unfair until you realize you simply threw it too hard. You drag to aim and release to throw, and the trajectory preview helps, but it won't account for a bouncing ball's aftertouch. Once I learned to under-throw and let gravity do the work, my success rate jumped. Multiple balls add a layer of color-matching that turns it from a casual toss into a spatial puzzle. You can't just sink one ball and move on; every ball has to land in its own colored bucket, and some levels hide buckets behind barriers or on moving platforms. What surprised me is how meditative it becomes. No lives, no fail state, just you and a handful of stubborn spheres. The levels ramp up slowly enough that you'll feel clever, then they smack you with a four-ball layout that demands actual planning. There's a quiet satisfaction when three balls drop into their buckets in quick succession after fifteen failed attempts. If you're after a low-pressure physics brain teaser, this one's an easy afternoon sink.

your objective is simply to put the ball in the hole. When there are multiple balls, you will need make sure that each ball lands in its respective colored bucket

Under-throw slightly; bounce often beats a direct line. Aim for the bucket rim's near edge to drop balls softly. Check all bucket colors before you start flinging. Use walls as backboards for tight angles. For multiple balls, clear the farthest bucket first. Let go early if the preview arc looks too long.
