The makers of hit mobile titles such OnPipe and Perfect Slices are back with a new and exciting puzzle game called Sand Balls. In fact, this mobile game could provide you with hours of entertainment. Even though it has a minimalist and straightforward gameplay, Sand Balls can be addictive and enjoyable.
The goal of Sand Balls is to bring as many balls as possible from point A to point B. As the name suggests, you will guide the balls through the sand. On top of that, a bunch of obstacles will stand in your way. For that reason, our detailed list of Sand Balls cheats, tips and tricks can be of great use. So, without further ado, let’s dive deep into the sand and send the balls to their destination.
1. Make Sure All The Balls Reach The Truck
Sand Balls is a game that relies on a simple concept – draw a path in the sand to avoid obstacles. Unfortunately, the roadblocks will come in all shapes and sizes. In other words, the barriers will make your task more and more challenging as you progress through the game. Of course, the early stages will present less of a challenge.
Either way, it is important that you develop a habit of bringing all the balls to the truck which is waiting for them. If you fail to deliver the requested amount of balls, you will have to play the level all over again. The number at the bottom of the screen will inform you about the number of balls that you need to get to the truck. In essence, the best course of action is to try and keep the balls in a tight formation. By doing so, all of them will move through the sand and go into the delivery truck at the same time.
2. Use The Retry Button If You Fail To Deliver Enough Balls
As we said, you will be in charge of a large number of balls when playing the game. If that was not enough, different types of roadblocks will be scattered along the way. As a result, the process of moving through the sand will be more demanding than it may seem at first. One of the tips we could share with you is that you should draw wide paths in the sand. In other words, try swiping your finger left and right to clear out a large patch of sand.
By doing so, you should bring enough balls to the delivery truck. But, if for some reason you fail to guide a sufficient number of balls, you will have to play the level again. So, we suggest that you hit the Retry button as soon as you notice that the truck is not moving. To clarify, the truck will leave once you provide it with enough balls. If not, there is no point in waiting. Click on the button in the upper left corner and try again.
3. If All Else Fails – Skip The Level
The secret to getting all the balls down to the truck is in making bold strokes across the sand. In other words, the more sand you erase – the more space there will be for the balls to go down. Of course, every level will have its own set of obstacles that you will need to take into consideration. But, with practice, you should be able to progress through the game at a steady pace.
However, some levels could present you with a tougher challenge than the rest. Meaning, you will get stuck trying to beat the level in question. In those moments, frustration could kick in. Luckily, the game offers a simple and effective solution. By clicking the Skip button in the upper right corner, you can move on to the next level without any problems. The only ‘sacrifice’ you have to do is to watch a promotional video. So, watch an ad every time you want to skip to the next level in Sand Balls.
4. Use Bombs To Blow Up The Obstacles
As we mentioned a couple of times already, your task will be to draw a path and send the balls down to the delivery truck. Yet, lots of obstructions will try to hinder your efforts. All sorts of walls, pillars, holes, or spinning blades will be in your way, depending on the level.
Well, we already explained how you can move on to the next level in Sand Balls. Yet, there are other methods that can help you with navigating the balls. For instance, you can use bombs to clear out large sections of the playing area. To clarify, bombs will be lying around in certain spots in the sand. As you maneuver the balls around the obstacles, you will come across the bombs. And, all you need to do is make a path towards the bomb to set off an explosion. As a result, the detonation will crash the surrounding roadblocks, propelling the balls further down.
5. Upgrade The Truck To Earn More Diamonds
Once you deliver the balls to the truck, the car will rush off and reward you with diamonds. If you manage to steer all the balls down to the finish line, your efforts will be rewarded with a perfect score. In other words, you will receive three stars and a bunch of pink diamonds. The diamonds are the in-game currency when it comes to Sand Balls. So, you should collect as many of them as possible.
For example, one of the ways in which you can boost the number of diamonds is by upgrading the delivery car. In the early stages of the game, the balls will be transported by a small truck. But, as you climb through the ranks, you can unlock better and better cars. In fact, the bigger the truck – the more balls it can carry. Consequently, this means that you will receive more diamonds as a reward. Thus, it pays off to invest a couple of gemstones to unlock a new truck.
6. Use Diamonds To Unlock New Balls
To be honest, Sand Balls is not a game that offers a wide array of options and features. On the contrary, the simplicity of the gameplay is one of the main advantages of Sand Balls. With that being said, there are some extra elements that can enhance your playing experience.
For instance, Sand Balls offer the possibility of changing the colors and the texture of the balls. By going into the Shop, you can unlock new balls. Of course, you will have to pay a certain fee for unlocking a new type. Yet, the game will become much more colorful as soon as you splash the cash. So, don’t hesitate to visit the shop as soon as the game informs you that new balls are available. By changing the size and structure of the balls, you will improve their maneuverability. In translation, it will be easier to guide them around barriers and roadblocks.
7. Collect The Free Gifts
So, diamonds are the player’s best friend when it comes to Sand Balls. As such, you can never get enough of them. And, that also means that you should exploit every possibility of obtaining more of those pink gemstones. Of course, the most obvious method is to maneuver the balls into the back of a dumpster truck. Yet, the game offers other options as well.
One of the easiest methods is to accept free gifts. To clarify, Sand Balls will throw a gift your way every once in a while. Needless to say, the gift comes free of charge, and you will receive a bunch of diamonds that you can use in the Shop. Either way, the free gifts are a great incentive. By receiving a boost in the number of diamonds you have at your disposal, the gameplay of Sand Balls will become much more enjoyable all of a sudden. Therefore, accept the rewards and invest the diamonds in a smart way.
8. Make The Most Out Of The Bonus Level
Besides the occasional free gifts, Sand Balls will present you with another enticing offer. In other words, bonus levels will appear after you climb 5 levels in the game. It goes without saying that you should maximize the number of diamonds you will collect during the bonus level. In a way, bonus offers are another form of freebies, and it seems that Sand Balls is packed with such features.
Also, the concept of bonus levels is simple and easy to grasp. In short, you only need to drag the finger down and draw a straight path for the balls to follow. Once you open the way, an avalanche of colorful balls will stampede down to the truck. As a result, you will receive more diamonds than ever before. On top of that, the game will make an incredible offer of multiplying your winnings by four times. Needles to say, we urge you to accept the offer and collect as many gemstones as possible.
And this would conclude our guide for Sand Balls. If you know other helpful tips, tricks or strategies for the game, leave us a comment below!
I have over 2 million diamonds what do I do with them I unlocked all the balls already
And how do you unlock more vehicles? I also have unlocked all of the balls and level 400
Best I can tell there is nothing to do with them. The can’t even buy you a few minutes of ad free play.
My husband plays on his iPad. That version has a Sand City that he has a small city building side-game where he spends the diamonds. I’m on the Android version, about 50 levels ahead of him and no sign of anything like what the Apple version has.
On Sand Balls if I go back to to the menu it let’s me have numerous amounts of bonus levels. I don’t know if this happened to anyone else?
There needs to be more different balls to buy. I also need more to do on Sand City. That game is boring, because coming soon never comes. It would also be nice to have new challenges. I am on Level 650 or so
How can you get pay the pink wheel of death without losing so many balls? I am in level 6-level 1578.
For me, get as many balls as possible. The path of the wheel of death can be stopped from turning the corner if you provide a hole on the bottom of the barrier for the alive balls can easily roll on. Also, dump as many as you can at that starting point. I can get enough balls to pass the level, but no stars.
Good luck!
Susan, thank you! Couldn’t figure that one out!
I’m having the same problem, the pink wheel eats up most of my balls. There must be something to do. I’m lucky to get 1 star on a level with that pink monstrosity.
Please help with level 614 , this giant roller squishes all the balls.
Am I the only one to reach over level 2200? The pointy things go out more than in and pop the balls. I can’t get past it. I have never skipped a level.
That’s what I came here to figure out too. Those pointy things (I call em daggers) are killing me.
How many levels are there?
Can I restart the game at level 1? I downloaded this game for my grandkids, they are little so I was playing to learn it in order to teach them. Would really like to let them start at the beginning. Please help. Don’t want them to have to start where I left off.
Any way to replay levels? I didn’t get 3 stars at first and want to improve my scores!
I’m at level 1105. I’m done. The levels are all the same puzzle in different order. You can not do anything with all the diamonds you collect. You can not buy cars or unlock anymore balls. It was a fun game for the first 10 levels. I’m done.
For those who have an abundance of gems, did it unlock the new update that is at the bottom left of the home screen? It seems when I have some gems collected the bar gets fuller, but when I use the gems on balls, the bar goes back to 0%. Just wondering if that is something you could use your gems for
Invest diamonds in sand city that generates more diamonds for you
At what point/level can u move on to sand city’s next attraction. It’s going on a bit
I was wondering the same thing. I have a full beach to the max on all levels and i can’t get to the next one. It just says “coming soon” and outta been like that for four months. I stopped playing for a while to see if it would unblock but no luck. I want to know how to unlock the next beach.
I had over a million diamonds. I downloaded the update
And now I have 2700 diamonds. How do I get them back?
I was wondering how many levels this game has? I’m at 900 now. I see that Mr. Done has 1105 & then he quit. I have an Android Samsung tablet. I have the sand city & I’ve bought everything on the screen & don’t know what else to do. How do you use balls for the city? I keep getting a message for to spend my balls, I’ve bought everything I could, I own every thing I could & it’s still telling me this.
Wondering the same thing have purchased everything there is and have the “Coming soon” message as well. Am almost at the limit on balls as well and hand over 1million diamonds then what? Seems pointless to continue if there is no way to use them.
Jak odblokować coming soon??

I was wondering the same thing
I’m on here trying to figure out how I can get onto the next sand spot to!
I’m also seeing the issues you’re all stating. Plus I’m curious About the yellow bar across the top of Sand City. Mine has been at “6” 285/1000 forever. It doesn’t go up or down no matter what I try.

Mine is the same! Same numbers too!
I’m there now and was wondering on how to go further?
I have the same question. Also waiting for the “coming soon” that’s not happening
There is a little replay sign at the top left of your screen. Press it before the truck has disappeared

Real bogus……once Sand City is fully build, and the nummer of stars reaches 285, you’re done…..the next level is “coming soon” for over a few months now. I’m done.

Boring game! I’m at level 1285 and I’m done with it. Got so fed up with an ad after every move!
I too have completed the first sand city and have almost a million diamonds. How do I get the the next city to use the diamonds?
I’m on level 700 now, have developed the sand city which was provided, have unlocked all the balls and vehicles. Now there is another sand city beside the old one with the ‘Coming soon’ label, it is still not unlocked. Also, I guess it is not a part of the VIP version.
Can anyone tell me about this coming soon sand city.
Boring game after reaching the max. Waiting for the comming soon episode
Hi,
