Glass Ball Puzzle

Why We Picked Glass Ball Puzzle

Glass Ball Puzzle sits at the quieter end of this shelf: no timer, no lives, just the board and the space left on it until the board is complete. It is closer to a good crossword than to a good action game. Early boards forgive almost anything; later ones ask you to plan around pieces you have not seen yet. Nothing about it is novel, and everything about it is finished. The page's own numbers: 369 plays, 4.3 out of 5 from 7 ratings, and 133 of 172 on the puzzle shelf.

How to Play

The page documents very little, so these are the things worth knowing before you spend time on it:

• Click once inside the game frame before using the keyboard; a freshly loaded iframe does not always have focus.
• Clear whatever the level asks you to clear, and count the space that the clear gives back.
• Stop while the puzzle is still interesting; it will still be solvable later.

Editor’s Note

Score and streaks are mostly absent; the solved board is the reward, which is a limitation for some. There is no story layer and no upgrade tree: the whole of it is the board in front of you.
