The Rules
- Observe the scene - Look at where the ball starts and the obstacles below it.
- Make your prediction - Tap on the ground where you think the ball will land after bouncing through all the obstacles.
- Drop the ball - Press the Drop button and watch the physics unfold!
- Score - The closer your prediction to where the ball actually lands, the higher your score (0-100%).
Understanding the Obstacles
Each puzzle contains a mix of obstacles that affect the ball's path. Learning how each one works is key to making better predictions.
- Platforms - Flat horizontal surfaces that redirect the ball. Slightly angled platforms push the ball gently to one side.
- Ramps - Steeper than platforms, ramps accelerate the ball in a specific direction. Pay close attention to the angle -- it determines where the ball goes next.
- Bumpers - Large circular objects with high bounce. The ball rebounds strongly off bumpers, often in hard-to-predict directions.
- Pegs - Small pins arranged in clusters, similar to a Plinko board. The ball pinballs between pegs and usually exits near the centre of the cluster.
- Funnels - Two angled walls that channel the ball toward a single point. Funnels guide the ball's path and make it more predictable.
- Triangles - Triangular deflectors that send the ball off at sharp angles. They can point up or down, changing how the ball interacts with them.
Scoring Breakdown
Your score depends on how close your prediction is to where the ball actually stops. Here are the scoring tiers:
| 100% PERFECT | Your prediction landed right on the ball |
| 90%+ INCREDIBLE | Nearly perfect -- exceptional physics intuition |
| 75%+ EXCELLENT | Very close -- you read the scene well |
| 60%+ GREAT | Strong prediction with solid accuracy |
| 45%+ GOOD | Respectable guess, room to improve |
| 30%+ CLOSE | In the right area but not quite there |
| 15%+ TRICKY | The physics got the better of you |
| Below FOOLED | The obstacles won this round |
Tips for Better Predictions
- Start with the ramps - Ramp angles are the strongest directional cue. They tell you which general direction the ball will travel.
- Account for bumpers - Bumpers add significant randomness. If the ball's path runs through bumpers, widen your mental landing zone.
- Follow the peg clusters - Pegs scatter the ball but tend to centre it. The ball usually exits near the middle of a peg group.
- Watch for funnels - Funnels narrow the ball's path, making predictions more reliable. Use them as anchors for your guess.
- Consider friction - The ball slows down on flat platforms more than on angled ramps. A ball that lands on a flat surface near the edge may not roll off.
