Balling Ball
Slide the floors under a bouncing ball and drop it through the gaps
About Balling Ball
A coral ball bounces in the middle of the screen and never moves sideways. Below it is a stack of floors, each one a slab that wraps around the screen with a gap in it. Drag and every floor slides together. Line up a gap under the ball and it drops to the next floor. Every floor you pass scores, and falling through several in a row without bouncing scores more each time.
Fall through three floors in a row and the ball turns heavy. The next slab it lands on shatters, even a dark one. Dark slabs are the only danger: land on one when the ball is not heavy and the ball cracks apart. Each level ends on a white pad with a coral ring, and the next stack slides in straight away, with narrower gaps and more dark slabs.
What is different about this version
The ball never moves; the world does. The whole game is one drag, and the combo turns a careful player into a reckless one on purpose.
How to play Balling Ball
- Drag left or right to slide all the floors at once, and line a gap up under the ball.
- Each floor you drop through scores. Dropping through several without a bounce scores more for each one.
- Three floors in a row makes the ball heavy, and the next slab it hits shatters.
- Never land on a dark slab unless the ball is heavy.
- Reach the white pad at the bottom to clear the level.

Strategy
When two gaps line up, drop straight through both to build the heavy ball before a dark floor comes up.
Mistakes that cost you the game
- Dragging too far and parking a dark slab under the ball.
- Landing on the rim of a gap while still sliding.
Tips
- Level one has no dark slabs, so use it to learn the drag.
- The ball's shadow always sits on the surface it is about to land on.
