How to Play Filled Glass

To select, left click with your mouse or tap on the touchscreen with your fingers. Select the play button at the center of the welcome screen to open the level selection screen. Select an unlocked level number to begin.

Select anywhere onscreen to shoot balls in that direction.

Basic Gameplay Advice

Shoot balls in a specific point in the level and watch them fall down toward the cup at the bottom of the screen. You can only shoot balls from a specific area of the top row shown in the first level. Your goal is to fill up the cup to the level indicated by the dashed line. When enough balls have reached the cup, wait a few seconds for the balls to turn white.

Try to shoot the balls from a direction where they can avoid the spikes. In levels where platforms and spikes move, time your shots to when the balls have the greatest chance of getting into the cup.

You start each level with 5 lives, which you can keep track of on the top left corner of the screen. Each time a ball hits a sharp object, you lose a life. A single ball can hit sharp objects multiple times, costing you a lot of lives at once. You can also lose lives if the balls fall down offscreen, though you won’t lose any for those that roll offscreen to the left or right.

The game has 90 levels, which are unlocked sequentially. You can go back and replay any of the levels you’ve previously beaten if you like. Your web browser automatically saves your level progress. The latest level you’ve unlocked appears on the bottom center of the welcome screen.

Advanced Playing Tips & Strategy

Balls tend to back up when you pour them all out at once. For most levels, we recommend releasing the balls in short pulses so more balls reach the destination without rolling offscreen. Short pulses also let you avoid bringing the balls to the

In general, it pays to look for the shortest or safest path you can find. This will give you more control over how the balls fall down. For instance, a shorter path makes sense if you can start at the shortest part of a platform. Likewise, some levels have more sharp objects on one side than on another, making your choice more obvious.

Carefully timed moves can also help you avoid rotating hazards. Drop the balls at the right time when the spike is facing away so you can drop the balls safely.
