Hemball

Hemball is a puzzle game set in a factory producing ball-pit balls. The objective is simple: safely guide the various coloured balls from the top of the screen into the matching trucks at the bottom.

This would be easy if they arrived in the correct order, but they rarely do. The balls traverse a platform featuring multiple doors that allow you to redirect their path or even hold a ball back for later.

Beyond matching balls to the correct truck (indicated by the coloured skip), you must prevent balls from colliding, as they will explode. Each level has a minimum delivery requirement and a time limit. You can earn bonuses by exceeding the delivery quota and minimising losses from collisions or incorrect deliveries.

The controls are simple:
- Tap doors or adjacent buttons to open or close them, guiding the ball through the platform.
- Poke the rat at the top to make it switch sides (provided it isn't already busy).
- Tap the mallet when it appears to free any stuck balls; this is also a handy way to slow down the pace.
- Tap a truck when the tea-cup symbol appears to make it leave - useful if you get stuck.

There are three types of doors: vertical sliders, horizontal sliders, and trapdoors, each indicated by the symbol on the adjacent yellow button and there are 22 unique levels to explore, each with a different layout to master.

Tip: don't be afraid to lose a few balls, there's plenty more where they came from... Generally it's better to lose balls than trucks.
