About game
Calculate every angle and force to guide your sphere into the goal using physics as your primary tool. Ballistic forces you to think ahead because every swipe consumes a precious move from your limited allowance. You might slice through ropes to drop obstacles or trigger gravity switches to shift the path entirely. TNT crates and portals add layers of complexity that transform simple setups into intricate logic puzzles. Mastering these levels requires patience since you can observe the environment before committing to an action. The sandbox mode lets you design custom stages to test your creativity against other fans of the genre. You can play Ballistic right now in your browser without any downloads or installs. Solving these brain teasers proves your skill as a master of velocity and logic.
How to play
The goal is to get the ball into the hole within the move limit. One move is one action:
— Swipe a rope to cut. All ropes touched by a single swipe count as one move.
— Gravity arrows (on some levels) rotate gravity up, down, left, or right.
The rest works automatically: fans blow, buttons open doors, portals teleport, swings tilt under weight, TNT explodes on contact, boosters accelerate, trampolines bounce, ice slides, and sticky blocks hold the ball. Be careful with the stakes—they'll break the ball.
There's no time limit: moves are spent only on actions, so wait for the right moment. Meet the author's minimum (par) and you'll get three stars. If you get stuck, press ⟳ and try a different order of actions.
In "Level of the Day," everyone has the same task: compare your solution with your friends. And in the editor, create your own level and share the link.
