About Happy Clicks Game

The yellow balls are waiting for you to get them to the exit, but they are not the controls. Happy Clicks makes the other balls do the work. Click one with a useful power and it changes what happens around it. Attraction brings things closer; repulsion sends them away. The puzzle is finding the right place and moment for that effect.

Yury Grigoryev and Ilya Kanatov made this colourful physics game. The portal has a target to meet, and a stage can put the waiting balls on opposite sides of the screen. The pictured fifth level, for example, shows two yellow faces on separate shelves above a central exit. Before acting, consider how each one could reach the same destination.

Look at the shape of the route as well as the balls. A useful push can become a bad one if a block redirects it. When something nearly reaches the portal, resist the temptation to click wildly. Repeating the attempt with a small change in timing will tell you more than adding several effects and trying to guess which one mattered.

How to Play Happy Clicks Game

Use the special balls to send the required yellow smiley balls into the exit portal.

  1. Find the portal and read its target. Look for the yellow balls that need to reach it.
  2. Identify the other balls and the effect you can activate. The original instructions ask you to work through those balls rather than directly steering the yellow ones.
  3. Click a special ball when its effect can help the route. Watch where the affected balls actually travel.
  4. Consider the remaining target before trying another effect. Make the next attempt a deliberate adjustment to the last one.

Tips for a better round

  • Follow the whole route to the exit before clicking. A push that clears one ledge may still send a ball into a worse position.
  • If balls begin on separate shelves, consider their routes separately. They may need different timings even though they share a portal.
