About the Game

Your goal is to guide the white ball to the blue platform. However, you can only interact with the ball using other objects on the level. Some of these objects are special balls: click near them to trigger an explosion that launches them in the opposite direction, obeying the laws of physics.

Different objects have different properties. Some are pushed away by mouse clicks, others shatter into pieces...
There are also portals that instantly teleport objects to different locations. When teleporting, an object's movement speed is preserved, so be cautious when using them. You'll also encounter spiked blocks that destroy objects, making it necessary to act carefully on certain levels.

Gravity can also shift in the game! There are two types of objects that can change gravity:

  • Buttons that, when clicked, instantly change the direction of gravity.

  • Activated objects that, when collided with by a green ball, will alter the gravity direction.

Blocks have various properties as well. Some are destructible upon collision or explosion, while others are solid yet movable. Some even repel the green ball. There’s rarely a strict algorithm for solving a level — you’ll often need to trust your intuition to find the solution.

Platforms also interact differently with objects. Some cause round objects to roll in a specific direction. Transparent platforms are color-coded and can only interact with objects of the matching color.

The puzzles vary in difficulty. Some require agility and quick reactions, others demand patience and caution, while some challenge you to think about the sequence of actions. For example:

  • Green balls are primary and must be delivered to the platform of the same color.

  • Yellow objects react to explosions triggered by mouse clicks.

  • Blue objects are destroyed upon collision with yellow objects.

  • Light Blue objects are indestructible but can be moved using yellow ones.

  • Red objects can be destroyed by an explosion.

As you play, you’ll gradually understand the mechanics of the levels and be able to tackle any challenge!

Exciting gameplay will keep you hooked! Let’s go for victory!
