More about this game
Your goal is to build the highest streak possible by launching a ball from its circular orbit into a target ring. The ball constantly travels around a central hub, and the target ring moves around the outside. You must time your release perfectly so the ball flies straight into the target. As your score increases, the orbit speed ramps up and the target ring shrinks. A run ends immediately if you miss the target and the ball flies off-screen, forcing you to start over.
Tips
- The target ring moves as well, so you need to anticipate exactly where it will be when your ball reaches it after you tap.
- The orbit speed increases as your score goes up, maxing out at 3.8, so your timing window will get much tighter as you progress.
- The target size shrinks from 88 down to a minimum of 48 as your streak grows, requiring much more precision during the later stages.
Questions
How do I score points?
You score one point for every successful hit when your ball lands inside the target ring. Your goal is to build the highest streak possible before missing.
Why did my run end?
Your run ends instantly if you miss the target ring and your ball flies off the screen. You must hit the target every time to continue.
Does the game get harder?
Yes, as your score increases, the ball's orbit speed ramps up and the target ring shrinks, making it much harder to time your shots perfectly.
