You know where it went in. You know where it came out... but how did it get there? Uncover the balls path! This sounds like a challange that you must accepte!
Pathstorm offers players a unique and fun casual puzzle game experience for gamers and non-gamers of any age. Your goal is to find a variety of hidden objects on the playfield. Achieve this goal by rolling a ball onto one of the playfield's many paths.
By paying attention to visual and audio cues, you can isolate the locations of those hidden obstacles and win the level.
