The goal of Ball Puzzle is to connect various path tiles on a grid to create a continuous track, guiding a rolling ball from its start point to the designated finish. Successfully completing the path allows the ball to roll, solving the level.
You control the game entirely with your mouse. To interact with a path tile, simply left click on it. Each left click will rotate the selected tile 90 degrees clockwise, changing its orientation and connecting possibilities.
Begin by identifying the start and end points of the ball's journey. Then, strategically rotate the surrounding path tiles to form a clear, unbroken line between them. Some tiles may be fixed, limiting your options and adding to the challenge.
As levels progress, you'll encounter larger grids and more complex path configurations. Plan your rotations carefully, sometimes working backward from the end point or focusing on critical junctions to ensure a smooth connection.
Visualize the path - Before you start rotating, mentally trace the entire route the ball needs to take from start to finish.
Work backward from the end - Sometimes it's easier to determine the required tile orientation near the finish line and work your way back to the start. Focus on junctions - Pay close attention to points where multiple paths could potentially connect.
A single wrong rotation can break the entire track. Don't rush rotations - Each click matters. Think about the impact of a rotation before you make it, especially if moves are limited.
Identify fixed tiles early - Note which tiles cannot be rotated; these are your anchors and will dictate parts of the overall path. Look for dead ends - If a path leads nowhere, it's a dead end.
Re-evaluate the tiles leading into it and adjust their rotations.
