Key Features
- Grid logic: The board layout dictates your movement options. One wrong slide traps the ball in a dead end.
- Star hunting: Pathing matters more than speed. You have to weave through tight corridors to snag every gold star available.
- Metal blocks: Some pieces are fixed in place. They act as walls that force you to find unconventional routes around them.
- Clunky physics: The ball sometimes gets stuck on the corner of a tile. It feels a bit stiff when moving between blocks.
How to Play
Slide the Ball: Basic movement
Use your mouse to drag pieces around the board. Slide the Ball controls are simple click-and-drag inputs. Just clear a path for that silver sphere to reach the goal. A common mistake is moving blocks too fast without checking the corners. Always plan the route before you start dragging things.
How to play Slide the Ball for stars
To earn all three stars, you need to guide that ball through specific tiles on the map. You have to route the ball through every star before it hits the exit. It gets tricky once the board layout gets crowded. That is how to play Slide the Ball with actual strategy.
