Read full description

Drop It is a draw-line physics puzzle. Swipe to create ramps and guides, then watch the marbles roll where gravity takes them. Each marble needs to reach the box that matches its color. Your ink is limited — draw too much and you'll run out mid-puzzle. That one constraint is what makes it interesting. No timers. No hint buttons. No paywall nudges. You figure it out or you don't — and when you do, it feels earned. Levels introduce saw blades, bombs, directional pushers and other hazards that change how you need to think. The physics stay consistent, so when something goes wrong, it's always on the drawing.
