Our take on Puzzle Ball
The focus on routing a ball through discrete challenges leaves less room for narrative, exploration, or character development. Its editor and ranking systems add creator and score competition, but the core play remains centered on repeating physics-based level attempts.
What is Puzzle Ball?
Puzzle Ball is a physics-based game in which players guide a ball from a starting point to a finish while navigating obstacles such as swings, pendulums, and bridges.
The ball can change material, altering how it travels through a level. Points decrease during play, while bonus points appear along the route. Completing a level with a high score can set a record on its leaderboard and add to a player's global ranking. The game also includes an editor for building and publishing custom levels. Players can rate published creations, with creator standings collected in a Top Builders List. Level records and global scores support competition across the game's challenges.
