How to Play

Bring the ball to the bucket by tilting the platforms.

• Starting the Game
  • Select the play button below the title of the screen to begin.
  • Your web browser automatically saves your game progress.
• Game Controls
  • Desktop
    • Left click and drag with your mouse to tilt the platforms.
  • Touchscreen devices
    • Tap and swipe on the screen with your finger tilt the platforms.
• Game Play
  • Level selection
    • Levels are unlocked in sequence. Only the first level is playable when you start the game for the first time.
    • After finishing one level, you automatically unlock the next.
    • You can replay any of the levels you’ve already unlocked.
  • Basic rules
    • Tilt the movable platforms at an angle that would allow the ball on the top platform to roll down to the bottom.
    • In many cases, you might need to tilt the platforms several times to have the ball move in the desired direction.
    • Some levels have hazards like retractable spikes on stationary platforms.
      • If the ball hits them, you fail the level.
      • On early levels the spikes go down when you move the platforms counterclockwise. As you advance through the game when you get to level 12 some spikes disappear on counterclockwise moves while others retract on clockwise moves.
    • Although the ball has a fuse, it is not a timer. The ball will not explode unless it hits a spike.
  • Tips
    • Trial and error are your allies.
      • Don’t be reluctant to play and replay to recalibrate your moves to clear the level.
      • In general, move fast yet gentle. You don’t want the ball to move erratically on its way down.
      • The game gets quite hard by the time you reach level 15, requiring a timed move that falls far off an angled platform, ricochet off a spinning platform, and down into the bucket, while avoiding a moving spiked mallet swinging on a chain.
        • Level 20 is similar, except you need to use 3 spinning platforms, 2 fixed platforms, a fixed wall, and avoid two chained swinging obstacles.
    • Spikes
      • If your ball must pass through a platform where the spikes have gone under, make sure it has enough momentum to roll away to the next platform.
        • You can adjust the positions of moving platforms while the ball is on a fixed platform, but be sure not to activate spikes by spinning in the wrong direction.
      • This game often requires sharp direction shifts on the platforms just after the ball has left.
        • If you moved the platform clockwise and the ball is about to run into spikes you can then make a hard counterclockwise move.
        • On platforms where spikes respond in the opposite direction the opposite is also true.
      • When you spin counterclockwise the spikes retract.
        • If you can spin the platforms over 180 degrees while balls are not on them you can then keep using counterclockwise spin moves throughout the duration of the level to keep the spikes retracted.
        • Once you get up to level 12 the game has multiple types of spikes where some are retracted on counterclockwise moves and others are retracted on clockwise moves.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like physics puzzle games.
