About

Beads Break

Features
Read full description

Break the glass. Pour the beads. Reveal the picture. Beads Break is a satisfying color-sorting puzzle with a twist: every level hides a pixel-art picture under a layer of stained glass. Tap a pane to shatter it, and the colored beads underneath tumble down into your tank. Crates below pull out matching colors one by one — keep the beads flowing and the picture slowly comes to life. But be careful: the tank can only hold so much. Break too fast and it overflows. Break too slow and you'll never see what's hiding underneath. Every tap is a choice. HOW TO PLAY • Tap glass panes to shatter them and release colored beads • Beads pour into the tank and pile up with real physics • Crates below collect matching colors automatically • Fill a crate and a new one slides in — keep the chain going • Clear every bead to reveal the hidden picture! WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • Insanely satisfying glass-shattering action — shards, shakes and pops • A hidden picture in every level: animals, food, patterns and more • Easy to learn, tense to master — manage your tank like a pro • Quick levels, perfect for one-handed play anywhere • Relaxing to play, but every level keeps you thinking Can you reveal them all without overflowing the tank? Download Beads Break now and start shattering!
