World Cup Glass

You've got a handful of tubes and a stack of soccer-themed balls — sort them all without getting stuck. Every move counts.

World Cup Glass is one of those deceptively simple puzzle games that eats your afternoon. You tap a tube to grab the top ball, then tap another tube to drop it in — but only if it's the same color or the tube is empty. Sounds easy, right? Then you hit level fifteen and realize you just sealed a red ball under three blues and there's no way out. That's when the real game starts. I kept coming back because it's just the right amount of frustrating. The balls are styled like little World Cup soccer balls, which gives it a nice theme without being too busy. The glass tubes are clear so you can see the whole stack, and the clink when a ball drops perfectly into place is oddly satisfying. It's basically a football-themed version of those water sort puzzles, but with sharper tension because every tube fills up fast and space runs out quickly. What I appreciate is that there's no timer pushing you — you can think as long as you want. But that also means you'll sit there staring at the screen, plotting three moves ahead, only to realize you should've started with a different tube entirely. If you like slow-burn logic puzzles that still feel active, this one's worth a shot. Just don't be surprised if you start muttering at your screen during the later levels.

Tap any tube to move the ball lying on top of any tube into another tube

Always check the bottom balls before moving a top one — that's your real constraint. Keep one tube empty as a temporary buffer; it'll save you more often than you think. Don't fill a tube completely unless every ball in it is the same type. If you've made more than five moves without making progress, restart the level instead of digging deeper. Look for two identical balls sitting on top of different tubes — clearing those opens up options. Try to plan your next two moves before you tap anything; it prevents the "oh no, I'm stuck" moment.
