A NEW ANGLE EVERY TEN LEVELS Starting at level 10, every tenth level takes the puzzle onto a 3D cube. Drag to rotate it, inspect the faces and follow arrow paths around its edges.

Remember those capsule gumball machines growing up? Gumball! is the relaxing ball sort puzzle that brings that feeling back. Swap colorful gumballs, snap on a lid, and unwind with every tap. Gumball! is a free ball sort puzzle. Tap a prize capsule, swap matching gumballs into another, and keep going until every capsule is one perfect color. No timer. No rush. Just a clean, satisfying sort you can play with one hand. This is the gumball machine as a puzzle. The tubes are prize capsules. The balls are candy colored gumballs. When a capsule fills with four of a kind, the lid snaps on, the capsule shrinks, and it drops into the machine. The machine fills as you play. HOW TO PLAY • Tap a capsule, then tap another. • Matching gumballs swap over if the colors match and there is room. • Fill every capsule with a single color to win. Glass clinks. Lids thunk. Capsules rattle into the globe. It scratches the same itch as a ball sort, color sort, water sort, or marble sort, just quieter and wrapped in a toy you already know. • Untimed levels you can finish in a minute or sit with for a while. • One finger. Portrait. Couch, commute, or in bed. • Thousands of levels, including HARD and SUPER HARD. • Mystery foil gumballs and new capsule twists as you go. • A gumball machine that opens onto collectibles, coins, and boosters when you fill it. If you want a relaxing color sort that still feels like a toy, not a kids cartoon and not a mess of pop ups, this is it. Bright, simple, and hard to put down, like the grocery store machine you remember. Open it after a long day. In a waiting room. One more level in bed. Play until the machine is full. Swap the colors. Make the machine happy. Gumball! from Staple Games. Support: staplegames.com/contact.html Privacy: staplegames.com/privacy.html
