Quick summary
Rolling in Holes is a bright, tactile puzzle title for iPhone where you manipulate multi-segment ball pieces across a playfield to fit them into matching receptacles. The core aim is simple: guide each piece into its correct hole while avoiding collisions and blocked pathways.
Core controls and rules
Players use touch to slide or roll the blocks across the board. When any part of a block contacts its target hole and the route underneath is clear, the whole piece will drop into place. Careful planning is required because other balls, additional holes, and tight corridors can prevent successful placement.
- Smooth drag-and-roll touch controls that move whole blocks across the grid
- Matching colored pieces to their corresponding openings to complete a level
