Game overview

Basket Fill is a sports puzzle where you never touch the balls directly. Instead you draw arrows on the board, and footballs, basketballs and tennis balls follow those arrows into the basket that matches their colour. Portals, magnets, spinning wheels and wall bumpers redirect anything careless, and five special balls change the rules once they arrive: one passes through walls, one ignores bumpers, one splits in two. Landing several baskets in the same run is where the big scores come from.

This title is best suited to players who want a physics puzzle with a sports skin.
