Introduction to Soccer Balls 2: the Level Pack
I dove into Soccer Balls 2: the Level Pack thinking it’d be a quick kickaround, but it surprised me with how clever its puzzles get. You still swipe to launch your soccer ball toward a goal, but now there are bumpers, fans, portals, and moving platforms that demand a bit of strategy before you pull the trigger. At first, you’ll breeze through the opening stages by just eyeballing the angle and power, but pretty soon you’re juggling timing, ricochets, and even gravity-flipping zones. It’s addictive in that “just one more level” sort of way.
What really sets this Level Pack apart from the original is the way each set of levels highlights a new gimmick. One batch has you dodging spinning blades that will knock your ball off course, while another introduces springy surfaces that can send you rocketing toward far-off corners. You’ll earn up to three stars for each attempt, which feels like a fun challenge without ever punishing you too harshly—if you can’t get all three, you still unlock the next row of puzzles. And if you’re stuck, you can watch a quick hint clip to see exactly how someone else solved it.
Visually, the game keeps things simple and clean. Everything is bright and crisp—white lines on green turf, colorful bumpers, and a clear interface that never gets in the way of your shot. The sound design is satisfyingly snappy too—you can almost feel the net ripple when you score, and there’s just enough background crowd noise to remind you that you’re playing soccer, even in a puzzle game. Between the steady difficulty ramp and the playful touches, I found myself coming back whenever I had a couple of spare minutes. It’s a small package of fun that doesn’t overstay its welcome.
