Sand Balls is a nicely designed and intuitive physics puzzle with one-touch controls, the success of which depends on both dexterity and the degree of development of the user’s logical thinking. The goal of the game is to accompany a group of miniature multi-colored elements (these can be balls, cubes, etc.) to the very bottom of a multi-tiered level, where they can safely slide into the back of a toy truck awaiting loading.
In order for objects to easily reach the truck, the user will need to draw a path with his finger, armed with a principle that was first used in the popular puzzle “Where’s My Water?” starring the crocodile Swampy. The result of each level of Sand Balls is influenced not only by filling the car body with multi-colored elements, but also by the degree of filling – the truck must, under their weight, move down the platform on which it stands, after which it will set off freely, and the gamer will earn diamonds.
Initially, the group of elements setting off on a journey is, as a rule, small, and along the way there are similar white elements – when they come into contact with a multi-colored mass, they also change their color and replenish the group. Among the problems that await the user in Sand Balls, one can note various obstacles that impede progress – these are barriers, spikes, spinning blades, fire traps, and so on. But fortunately, the developers also implemented auxiliary elements, for example, bombs that destroy massive obstacles, teleports that allow you to instantly move a multi-colored mass to another point, and other “helpers” that are indispensable at difficult levels.
