BucketBall - a Fun Little Online Game

Test your targeting and puzzle solving skills

From Lee Seats, for About.com

When I first saw the name BucketBall I figured it was probably a boring shoot the ball into the bucket game with no real time wasting power. After I started playing BucketBall I was hooked. The combination of simple basic game play and puzzle solving work well together to make the game a fun and addicting time waster.

As you would expect, the first few levels are simple and easy. The game starts getting more interesting at level 6. Here are a few hints for playing:

  • When you put your mouse over the ball and the targeting arrow appears, move the mouse cursor to the tip of the arrow. You can aim more precisely that way.

  • When you put a ball in the wrong color bucket it gets shot back out. You will want to remember that for solving some levels.

  • You can use the restart button to start a level over. I had to do that when I managed to get two wrong color balls in the same bucket and they were stuck.
