Ball Rotate drops you into a arcade challenge you can start in a couple of seconds. It leans on physics, so expect a steady difficulty curve. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.
About Ball Rotate
Rotate the shapes and lets the balls out thanks to gravity.
How to play Ball Rotate
There is very little to learn before your first run. Load the game above and it fills the player in portrait. On a phone you can play one-handed; on desktop the frame stays centred so nothing is cropped. Restarting is instant, so there is no cost to experimenting.

Why it is worth playing
The appeal here is the loop: a short round, a clear result, and an obvious idea about what to do differently next time.
