Guide and Throw

Guide and Throw is a puzzle game in which you move dots attached to a line with the mouse to guide a magic ball to a portal. You can push the ball with either dot or with the connecting line by moving them toward it.

Game modes

The game has over 30 levels in which you protect the magic ball until it reaches the portal. Endless mode places you in a procedurally generated environment, where you try to keep the ball safe for as long as possible.

Challenges and hazards

You can throw the ball at bonus objects to collect them, but it is destroyed if it hits the bottom platform or a projectile. Some areas open only when a dot presses a button or enough magic balls are collected in a designated area. If your line intersects a platform, it loses its power and cannot push the ball until it is no longer colliding with the platform.

Levels introduce different ways to use the lines and interact with the environment. In split-screen levels, you interact with objects at the bottom to move objects at the top. Some levels have multiple lines that you move to bounce the ball between them and reach areas inaccessible to either line alone. Other levels have no magic ball, so you must rely on your line and may interact with other objects to reach the portal. In areas that block the line but allow the ball through, you must throw the ball to another line or deactivate the blocking zone to progress. You can also interact with the environment to trigger events.
