How to Play
Carefully inspect each level's scene and tap or click on the spot where you believe the ball is hidden. If you're correct, you move on; if not, keep looking—there's no penalty for wrong guesses.
Tips for Playing

- Scan the edges of the screen first, as the ball is frequently placed near the borders.

- Watch out for shadows or slight color differences that might give the ball away.
- If you're stuck, step back and look at the whole image rather than zooming in on one area.
