Drop Ball Adventure is a ball sorting puzzle game similar to water glass games. The player's goal is to fill a container on each level with balls of different sizes in the correct order to prevent overflow above a dashed fill line.
The levels present the player with different scenes. A container might rest on a table, floor or other object. The game presents fill buttons marked with balls by color, size and number below each scene.
The player must use common sense to complete a level. For example, they should drop large balls into a wide-bottom container first. A container with a narrow bottom requires a different strategy. The player should start with tiny or small balls to fill the bottom area and then switch to the larger ones.
The game provides skull bombs intermittently on a wide lower-right tab. The player uses the bombs to clear bottlenecks. They can earn two additional bombs each time they're willing to watch an advertisement. That said, they can also pop the balls like bubbles with their cursor on some levels, which makes the bombs somewhat unnecessary.
Drop Ball Adventure rewards the player with coins. They use their winnings to change the ball skin. They access design options by selecting a lower-right tab marked with a ball icon. If they don't have enough coins, they can earn more to pay for a random skin by viewing ads. They can also play a slot machine game that allows them to win new skins with ad views.
