About

Ball Picker

Features
Read full description

Collect the balls and throw them into the shredder and improve your collector with the money you earn. Collecting, scattering and smashing beautifully lined colored balls gives a great ASMR feel. Experiencing this and distributing different areas in new sections is a separate excitement. We wish you a lot of relaxation and fun in this game.
