► SIMPLICITY IS THE KEY TO A GREAT PUZZLE A great puzzle needs only a few simple elements to toy with the rules of physics and create a truly challenging and absorbing test of your logic. That’s certainly true for this addictive and original puzzle game that will have you racking your brain and trying over and over again to complete each level with nothing more than a pile of balls and a few pieces of rope. Challenge your logic and your spatial awareness on every single level in this simply fascinating mobile game. • Two stages for double the fun: Each level involves two stages, each an individual puzzle in its own right. First you need to draw a rope in the correct shape to draw all the large balls together without snagging the rope on any of the obstacles. The original balls then explode into a shower of smaller balls, and you have to use a set number of rope pieces to guide them all around further obstacles and into the cup waiting at the bottom of the board. • My cup runneth over… There’s a set number of balls that have to reach the cup for you to pass each level in the game, so make sure you give careful consideration to the laws of physics and put the ropes in exactly the right place before the balls are released. Otherwise, it’s back to the (rope) drawing board for a little more serious thinking… • Simple doesn’t mean easy: The concept may be straightforward, but intelligent game design in every level means that, soon enough as you progress through the game, each puzzle becomes a real challenge that will test your spatial awareness, your logical thinking and your understanding of physics to the max. • Try, try and try again: There’s no penalty for trying – if you mess up the level you’re on, just tap the reload button and have another go. The puzzles may be taxing, but you’ll never have to worry about running out of lives or waiting for the opportunity to test your latest genius theory. So don’t get stressed, just go ahead and try one more time. The solution’s bound to be just around the corner… ► SHOW OFF YOUR ROPING SKILLS Get the balls to walk the tightrope and fill the cup up till it smiles. This addictive and original puzzle game may look simple at first glance, but the further you progress the more each level will require both serious thinking and real dexterity, giving your brain a great workout and ensuring you’ll be deeply satisfied, and thoroughly entertained for hour after hour. Download the game now and start learning the ropes in this unusual and immensely fun puzzle extravaganza.
