Key Features
- Limited Ink: Every pixel you draw disappears from your budget. You must plan your route before you commit to a single line.
- Judging Glass: The facial expression on the cup changes based on your success. It's surprisingly motivating to stop that frown.
- Physics Puzzles: Water behaves like actual liquid here. It splashes and pools in ways that might ruin your perfectly drawn structure.
- Creative Freedom: There is no single correct solution. You can brute force a messy path or try for a clean, elegant stream.
How to Play
How to play Joy of Glass mechanics
To start, drag your mouse or finger to draw a physical path for the liquid. Joy of Glass controls rely on your ability to sketch ramps and walls that funnel water exactly where it needs to go. Keep your lines short, because you only get a limited amount of ink per level.
Mastering Joy of Glass physics
Don't overfill the cup. It will reject your effort if the water level goes past the rim. A common mistake is drawing a massive ramp that sends the stream flying everywhere but inside the glass. Later stages introduce obstacles that force you to get creative with your pencil strokes.
