About this game Read the full description
Pure, tactile focus.

Tilt the board to shift gravity and roll metal balls into their holes. It starts as a relaxing physics exercise, but the complexity deepens fast.

A single careless movement can spill your balls over the edge in Patience Mode, forcing an instant restart.

What's Included in the Demo

This free demo includes the first 20 hand-crafted levels across a branching map, playable in both Zen Mode and Patience Mode, with global leaderboards and unlockable ball skins and trails. (The full 100-level campaign, built-in Level Editor, and Steam Workshop browser are exclusive to the full game.)

Choose Your Playstyle

How you approach the challenge is entirely up to you. Switch between two distinct modes on any level at any time:
  • Zen Mode: Play with protective walls to keep balls safely on the board. Perfect for finding a casual, stress-free flow.
  • Patience Mode: No walls. The edges are lethal, demanding absolute precision and steady hands.

Simultaneous Multi-Board Physics

As you progress through the 20 hand-crafted demo levels, the challenge multiplies. The play area splits into multiple distinct boards that all tilt together with a single movement. Aligning the board on the left might ruin your entire setup on the right, forcing you to keep track of multiple boards at once.

Interactive Mechanics & Obstacles

Puzzles get even harder with interactive mechanics that change how you approach each board:
  • Switches: Roll over floor switches to drop walls, raise barriers, or unlock trapped balls.
  • Portals: Teleport balls across gaps and between disconnected platforms.
  • Elevators: Lift balls up to higher platforms and elevated tiers.
  • Bumpers: Bounce balls off angled walls to redirect your momentum.
  • Reverse-Gravity Balls: Cyan balls that roll in the exact opposite direction of your tilt. Tilt left, and they go right.
  • Explosive Balls: Touch an orange ball and it detonates, blasting every ball on the board into the void.

Climb the Leaderboards & Fail in Style

Trying to rush will just send your balls flying off the edge. The only way to beat the target times is to slow down, stay calm, and master the cleanest route across the board.
  • Global Leaderboards: Refine your routes to beat strict star times and compete for the fastest runs in the world.
  • Custom Ball Skins & Trails: Unlock new materials, skins, and trails so when you do fall off the edge, at least you can fail in style.
