Guide the cascade into the bucket. 1,000 physics puzzles.
Balls pour out of the tube and it's your job to get them into the bucket. Drag ramps into place, turn them with the round handle, and build a path that carries every ball home.
As you go, levels add trampolines, fans, teleporters, bumpers, magnets and switch-operated gates. Earn up to three stars on each of 1,000 levels, play the daily level, and unlock new balls along the way.
Features.
- The levels form ten worlds of 100, each with a focus, such as trampolines in Bounce Zone, fans in Wind Works, magnets in Magnetic Lab and switches in Chain Reaction.
- Depending on the level, your tray can hold short, medium or long ramps and walls, trampolines, bumpers, fans, funnels, clockwise or anticlockwise spinners, moving platforms, magnets and teleporters.
- Stars depend on how many balls you catch: Level 1 needs 15 of 30 for one star, 22 for two and 28 for three, and all 30 earns a Perfect Cascade.
- There are seven ball sets: Classic, Candy at 25 stars, Ocean at 60, Sunset at 120, Gems at 200, Pearl at 10 Perfect Cascades and Golden at a 7-day Daily streak.
- The Daily Puzzle is built fresh for each date, uses a different world's parts on each day of the week, and builds a streak when you earn a star on consecutive days.

Tips for Ball Cascade.
- Fans push hardest close up and along the middle of the airflow, fading towards the far end. On fans and magnets, the push or pull comes from the side opposite the round handle.
- Magnets pull only silver metal balls, and the pull weakens with distance. Some tubes mix silver and coloured balls, so plan a path for both.
- Only a trampoline's yellow pad bounces. Harder landings give a stronger bounce, up to a limit, and tilting the pad aims the bounce.
- Balls keep their speed through a teleporter and leave the orange portal along its arrow. Drag the round handle beside the orange portal to aim the exit.
- The arena's sides and top are solid, so you can bank balls off them. Balls that come to rest anywhere but a bucket do not count.

Ball Cascade FAQ.
Can I play Ball Cascade on a phone or tablet?
Yes. It supports touch, switches to an upright layout when the screen is taller than it is wide, and lifts a new part above your finger as you drag it from the tray.
Does Ball Cascade save my progress?
Yes, automatically. Your stars, highest catch on each level, unlocked levels, chosen balls, Daily streak and sound settings are kept in your browser's local storage on that device.
Does Ball Cascade have keyboard shortcuts?
Yes. Q and E rotate the selected part 5 degrees (15 with Shift), arrow keys nudge it, Delete removes it, H shows a hint and Space drops the balls. During a run, F cycles between 1x, 2x and 4x speed.
What can I do if I'm stuck on a level?
Once you have tried a drop, press HINT; each press shows a faded outline of where one more part goes. After three runs with no stars, a SKIP button appears and unlocks the next level.
