Sand Balls - Puzzle Game 2.3.35

Puzzles are always great for the mind as they stimulate brain cells. Such games are addictive as well as puzzles always seem easy at first but can solutions can prove elusive. This leads to long gaming sessions where you look for the right answers to win the game and prove to yourself that you have a mind capable of solving the most difficult of puzzles. Sand Balls is a puzzle game developed by SayGames that tries to put your mind to the test in an engaging manner and see if you can pass its mental tests or not.

Sand Balls has a very simple layout with the app's clean interface a joy for the eyes. The game doesn't overcomplicate things at the start with the gaming starting right upon launch. This is a pleasant surprise in comparison to other games with cluttered game menus where you are required to move through different game menus before the actual game can be launched.
Sand Balls starts with a guided tutorial where you are told how the game works and how you can overcome obstacles with simple arrows to help you out. Since the game is simple enough and its controls are not complicated at all, this approach for the game's tutorial works just fine. Even without any guidance, it won't take more than a level for you to figure out how the controls work and which strategies will help you in the gameplay the most.

The gameplay of the puzzle game has a touch of simplicity about it as well. The game adopts a very simple and easy difficulty level at the start of the game. As you gain experience and skill, the difficulty level rises in order to provide more challenging puzzles. The escalation in difficulty levels is moderate and you will never feel that any level in the game is too difficult to complete. You might have to repeat a few levels and you might even fail in a couple of levels at one stage or another but the game gets the balance between a challenging puzzle and an impossible puzzle just fine.

The puzzle game is simple at the outset. There are a few colored balls at the top of a sand dune. You are required to chart a course for the balls in such a manner that they get in contact with neutral balls before going down into a truck at the bottom of the dune. The neutral balls turn to your side if any of your colored balls strike them. You have to simple swipe in the direction that you want the colored balls to follow. Gravity is at play in most cases and therefore, how you chart the course should be in line with the principles of gravity. You can't move the balls sideways and can only bring them down in sloped directions at best.

The puzzle game is frustrating because of the frequent ads. It is understandable for the free version of the game to have ads but the number of times users have to endure ads can be extremely annoying. One ad is a must after every round while sometimes, ads pop up even during a round. This is an area where the developers should focus in order to improve the user experience.
