Glimmy: Ball Sort Puzzle
About Glimmy: Ball Sort Puzzle — Calm Color Sorting with Twists
Glimmy: Ball Sort Puzzle is a relaxed, no-timer color sorting puzzle spread across 400 levels and 20 chapters, each set beneath its own sky. The core task is straightforward — sort every ball into a tube of matching color — but the game layers in a steady stream of surprises that keep each chapter feeling fresh. Mystery balls hide their color until the balls above them shift out of the way. Ice can freeze individual balls or entire tubes. Locks stay sealed until a tube of their matching color is completed. Open-bottomed tubes let balls flow from below as well as above. Every finished tube fires a comet: aim it at a frozen tube or ice layer of your choice, or watch it automatically open a lock that matches its color.
There is no move limit and no countdown clock, so every puzzle can be worked through at whatever pace suits you. Along the way, win chests and collect backgrounds, weather effects, tube rims, caps, and tube celebrations. Each level awards up to five stars, and finishing three levels a day keeps a daily flame going. A rank and leaderboard track longer-term progress. One free hint is available every level, and spending a gem rewinds a move when things go sideways. Progress is saved automatically.
How to Play Glimmy: Ball Sort Puzzle — Sort Every Color to Clear Each Level
Select a ball, then select a destination tube to move it there. A single ball or a consecutive run of same-color balls will transfer onto a matching color or into a completely empty tube. The goal for each level is to fill every tube with one solid color.
Special Ball and Tube Mechanics
- Open tubes: these tubes release balls from the bottom as well; select the bottom ball to move it.
- "?" balls: a mystery ball reveals its color only once no other ball sits above it.
- Ice: freezes balls or whole tubes; each completed tube breaks one layer of ice, and you choose which ice to target.
- Locks: a lock stays closed until a tube of its matching color is finished, at which point the comet from that tube opens it automatically.
Controls
- Mouse click / Touch tap (ball): select a ball or a run of same-color balls
- Mouse click / Touch tap (tube): move the selected ball to that tube
- Tap bottom ball (open tube): move a ball out from the bottom of an open tube
