Break the Cup Game Review

Break the Cup Game Background

Break the Cup is a Rube Goldberg-type physics game. Drag and drop the ball in the right spot to start a chain reaction that breaks all the cups in the game. The game was developed by Demonte Maximiliano of QKY Games Studio. Its gameplay is very similar to Spill Wine.

How to Play Break the Cup

To select, left click with your mouse or tap on the touchscreen with your fingers. Select the play button on the bottom center of the loading screen to bring up the welcome screen. Select the play button at the center of the welcome screen to open the level selection screen. Choose a level to begin.

On a desktop, move your mouse cursor to move the ball, then left click to drop it. On a touchscreen device, tap on the screen and swipe to move the ball, then release to drop it.

Basic Gameplay Advice

The game has 60 levels, which are unlocked sequentially. You can replay any of the levels you’ve previously beaten.

Drop the ball in the correct spot to dislodge the glass from the platform. The ball will fall straight down; any object it hits will be affected by its momentum and will be knocked off if it hits it at the right spot.

Take out all the glasses on the level to clear it. You can drop the ball directly above the glass, let the ball roll toward it, or allow . Besides glasses, the levels also feature rectangular objects. These, too, will fall down if hit by the ball and will destroy any glass that they land on.

You start each level with 5 balls, including the one you currently have on hand. If you run out of balls, you fail the level. If you think you made a mistake, consider restarting the level using the reset button on the top right corner of the screen.

Each level has a star rating based on how efficiently you clear it. The fewer balls you use to solve the level, the higher your star rating will be. The number of balls you need for a 3-star rating ranges from 1 to 2 balls, depending on the complexity of the level.

Advanced Playing Tips & Strategy

Study the layout of the level carefully. Pick out how the ball will fall and what it might knock over along the way down. Understanding this will not only help you know where to drop it but also determine how many balls you’ll need at the minimum to solve the level.

The level’s background is that of a room with vertical-striped wallpaper. Use the wallpaper pattern to help you aim the balls with greater precision.

There are some levels where you’ll need to use drop one ball and use another ball to move it. Whenever this happens, wait for the first ball to come to a complete stop before dropping the second one. Doing so gives you greater control over where the first ball rolls.

Educational Aspects

This game encourages creative thinking and problem solving. Players must use the physics of the game to their advantage and determine where they need to drop each ball to create the chain reaction needed to break all the glasses.
