84/100

Mexiball is another hit from the masters of mobile gaming at Donut Games. It’s a 'hot and spicy' puzzle game that tasks you with sorting and matching colored balls on a board. What starts as a simple matching game quickly evolves into a complex brain-teaser as you encounter lasers, gates, and 'colorizers' that change the balls' properties. The goal is to clear the board in as few moves as possible, which adds a high level of strategy and replayability for perfectionists.

The Mexican-themed presentation is delightful, with vibrant visuals and a catchy soundtrack that perfectly complements the 'no time for siesta' gameplay. It features 80 well-designed levels that range from 'simple as pie' to 'hard as concrete,' ensuring that both casual players and hardcore puzzle fans will find something to enjoy. Like all Donut Games releases, it’s polished, charming, and has that signature 'just one more level' feel that makes it hard to put down.

Tips

Finding the Best Path

Try to visualize the whole sequence of moves before you start dragging. In many levels, the order in which you move the balls is crucial—moving one ball might block a laser that you need to use later. Remember, you can always go back and watch your best solution to see where you can improve.

Gameplays

Spicy Mechanics

Look out for the 'Colorizers'—passing a ball through these will change its color, which is often the only way to clear certain groups. Use the lasers to clear paths, but be careful not to accidentally destroy a ball you need for a later match.
