Guide colorful crowds into active swimming pools to ride matching floating rings. In Pool Party: Mirror Match, your objective is to select stickman groups from the lower waiting grid, sending them into the water to grab matching floaties dropping down from upper chutes. Precision and dock sequence management determine your success. Sending a crowd into the water without corresponding floaties clutters the pool area, blocking incoming swimmers and stalling the line. Navigate multi-colored ring stacks, mystery character blocks, and high-capacity wave multipliers that demand smart visual planning. Match every swimmer to a float to clear the pool completely.

About

Balloon Marble Sort

Features
Read full description

Release trapped rolling spheres from floating inflated clusters. In Balloon Marble Sort, your goal is to pop colorful party bags on screen, releasing stored tiny beads directly into matching upper box slots. Success relies on careful popping order and slot capacity control. Popping a bag when its internal beads don't match your open collection boxes clutters your holding tray, risking a complete stall. As levels scale up, you’ll navigate numbered countdown bags, mixed pattern skins, and layered cluster arrangements that demand sharp visual planning. Pop wisely to clear every floating cluster.
