About game
Physics puzzles turn simple stacking into a high-stakes race against gravity. Balls in a glass hooks you instantly because every drop feels like a gamble with the laws of motion. You aim your shot at the cup to drop numbered spheres that bounce and roll exactly like real objects. Two identical digits hitting each other causes a merge, creating a larger value that takes up more space. Building up to the 2048 goal requires careful planning so you do not reach the rim and end your session. Clever players trigger chain reactions by stacking numbers to rack up massive score multipliers. This addictive merge mechanic keeps your brain sharp as you juggle the falling pieces. You can jump into this challenge right now for free in your browser with no download required.
How to play
The controls take one move: pick a direction and drop the ball.
On a computer, move the mouse to aim and click the left button. On a phone, tap where you want the ball to go. A dotted line shows the direction, and the angle is limited by the walls — the ball can never miss the cup.
The ball always appears at the top centre and stays there: only the direction changes. The next ball is shown on the right, so you can plan ahead. A new one arrives as soon as the previous ball lands.
Two identical numbers merge into the next one on contact. Drop your balls so matching numbers end up side by side, and try to set off a chain — back-to-back merges multiply your score.
On-screen buttons:
Hammer on the left — spend coins to remove any ball. Tap the hammer, then the ball.
Arrows on the right — swap the current ball for the next one by watching an ad.
Cup at the top — leaderboard; the icon beside it mutes the sound.
The game ends if the balls settle above the dotted line at the rim.
