Game Is Hard Level 103 Breakdown
What You See
Two grey ramps at the bottom, three colored buttons underneath, and a gap at the top where a ball spawns. Each button press drops a ball of that color, which bounces down the ramps and off screen. At first glance it looks like you just need to drop a green ball — but there's no green button.
Why You're Stuck
I looked for a green button that wasn't there, then started pressing buttons at random hoping a green ball would appear. The catch is that you can't drop green directly — green has to be produced by mixing. The ramps are the mixing palette, and the sequence of button presses is what changes their color. Until I saw the ramps shift from red to blue to green, I was trying to conjure a color instead of building it.
The Answer
Press red, then blue, then yellow. The ramps cycle red → blue → green, and the yellow ball released on the final press turns green when it contacts the now-green ramps.
How to Beat It
- Tap red — the ramps turn red and a red ball drops.
- Tap blue — the ramps turn blue and a blue ball drops.
- Tap yellow — the ramps mix blue and yellow into green, and the yellow ball turns green on contact.
- Watch it exit — a green ball is the win condition.
Troubleshooting
- Only ever red/blue/yellow balls drop: that's correct — the green appears only after the ramps turn green.
- Pressed out of order: the ramps just track the last color pressed, so reset by tapping red, then blue, then yellow in sequence.
- Ball stayed yellow: you need the yellow press to come AFTER the blue press, so the ramps are green when the yellow ball lands.
Why It Works
This is color theory through a mechanical filter. You can't summon green from a button, so the puzzle routes the mix through the environment: press blue to tint the ramps, then yellow to combine with it into green. The yellow ball is the final ingredient, and its collision with the green ramps is what "paints" it. The red step is just there to establish that the ramps respond to the buttons before the real mix happens.
The Rule to Carry Forward
When the target color has no button, mix it through the environment. Watch what changes color with each press and use that as your palette.
- Map the missing color — green = blue + yellow, so those two presses are mandatory.
- Press in build order — the mixing only works if the components land before the result.
- Watch the shared object — the ramps, not the ball, are the real state you're editing.
The ramps are your mixing bowl. Their color after each press tells you exactly what the next ball will become.
Looking for a green button. There isn't one — green must be mixed from blue and yellow.

Game Is Hard Level 103 FAQ
How do I make the ball green in Game Is Hard Level 103?
Tap the red button, then the blue button, then the yellow button. The ramps turn green (blue + yellow), and the yellow ball that drops becomes green when it touches the green ramps.
What order do I press the buttons in Game Is Hard Level 103?
Red first, then blue, then yellow. Each press changes the ramps' color and drops a matching ball; only the final yellow press produces the green result.
Why does the red ball not help in Game Is Hard Level 103?
Red is a setup step. The real color mix is blue + yellow = green, so red just primes the sequence before the blue and yellow presses create the green ramps.
