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
