PipeBall

Pipe Puzzles. Beat the World.

$0.99 · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Roll the ball from start to finish using fewer pipes and boosters than anyone else. Hundreds of community maps, build your own, challenge friends to beat your record Roll the ball from start to finish using as few pipes as possible. The catch: every map is solvable, but solving it BETTER than anyone else in the world is what'll keep you up at night. GAMEPLAY Drag 45° and 90° elbow pipes onto the grid to steer the ball. Drop 2-way and 4-way speed boosters to overcome the friction of turning, bouncing, and rolling. Bounce off bounce walls. Dodge kill walls. Collect colored keys to unlock matching colored walls. Hit Play, watch the physics, adjust. 760+ COMMUNITY MAPS Hundreds of player-created maps from PipeBall's original 2013 catalog have been imported and are ready to play, plus everything new from today's community. Browse, solve, and like the ones you love. BUILD YOUR OWN Use the built-in editor to drop kill walls, bounce walls, keyed walls, keys, and place the start + finish on a grid from 5×5 to 30×30. Your maps stay private on your device until YOU solve them — that's the catalog's guarantee against impossible puzzles. Once you solve your own map, it's shared with players around the world. WORLD'S BEST SCORE Every map shows the lowest pipe count anyone has ever solved it with, plus the country of the record holder. Can you beat it? If you give up, unlock the world's best solution for $0.99 — and if a better record is set later, you automatically see the new one too. Each unlock applies to one specific map; buying one doesn't unlock another. CHALLENGE A FRIEND Send any map via Messages, Mail, AirDrop, or any sharing app. The link opens straight to that map in your friend's PipeBall — or to the App Store if they don't have it yet. PERFECT FOR Fans of crosswords, chess, sudoku, Scrabble, Words with Friends, Angry Birds, or any game that rewards critical thinking. Great for kids too: every map IS solvable, but lower scores get exponentially harder — like golf. The challenge isn't just solving the map. It's solving it with fewer pipes than anyone else in the world. PipeBall has no ads, no subscriptions, and no tracking. The only In-App Purchase is the optional $0.99 World's Best Solution unlock per map.

After 12 years, PipeBall is back — completely rebuilt for modern iOS but keeping the same maddeningly addictive gameplay that hooked everyone in 2013. WHAT'S NEW • Rewritten from scratch in Swift + SpriteKit. Universal app — runs natively on iPhone and iPad • Brand new Google Cloud backend replacing the legacy SQL Server / ASP.NET stack • 760+ community-created maps from the original PipeBall catalog have been migrated and are playable again, along with their world-record holders and likes/dislikes • Work-in-progress on every map saves automatically — pick the phone up mid-puzzle and your pipes are still where you left them • Map editor reborn — drop walls, keys, start, and finish on grids up to 30×30 with a real color picker; your map stays private until you solve it yourself • Challenge a Friend now uses iOS Universal Links — send any map via Messages, Mail, AirDrop, or any share sheet; it opens straight to that map in your friend's PipeBall • Per-map World's Best Solution unlock at $0.99 — buy one to see how the record was set; if a better record is posted later, you get the new solution too WHAT'S CHANGED • Native iOS share sheet replaces the old email / Facebook share button • No ads, no subscriptions, no third-party analytics, no tracking • Anonymous device identifier replaces the old account system; purchases and best scores follow your device through reinstalls • Privacy-by-default — see Settings → PipeBall for what data is collected WHAT'S THE SAME • The same 45° / 90° elbows, 2-way and 4-way boosters, bounce walls, kill walls, keyed walls, and color-coded keys • The same global world's-best leaderboard • The same maps from 2013 — go beat your old records • The same "easy to solve, exponentially harder to optimize" curve If you had PipeBall on your old iPhone, welcome back. If you're new, start with the Tiny map and try not to get hooked.
