Keep the ball inside the ring! Spin your paddle around the circle, bounce the ball back and survive as long as you can. One finger, simple rules, and a game that gets wilder the longer you last. NEW: DAILY CHALLENGE Every day brings a new twist: a chaos storm, mind games, a speed rush, a monster rush and more. Everyone plays the same run, with the same chaos in the same order. Hit three score targets for diamonds and see where you stand on today's leaderboard. THREE MORE WAYS TO PLAY • Journey Map: 150 stages across 15 chapters, from Training Grounds down to the Final Depths. Earn up to 3 stars per stage and fill chapter chests with rewards. • Arcade: endless runs full of chaos events and power-ups. Chase your best score. • Classic: pure paddle and ball, nothing else. Just you and your reflexes. CHAOS EVENTS Just when you think you have it, the arena changes. Vortex pulls the ball off course, Reverse flips your controls, Ghost turns the ball invisible, Illusion throws fake balls at you, the ring shrinks, a Giant Ball rolls in, your paddle splits in two, bumpers spin around the ring, and more. POWER-UPS AND BOOSTS Grab Shield, Wide Paddle, Slow Motion, Magnet, Score x2, Extra Life, Golden Ball and Barrier mid-run. Spend diamonds on Boosts to make your favorite power-ups last longer, permanently. BOSS FIGHTS From stage 51 the Journey Map turns into a dark dungeon, and every tenth stage ends with a boss inside the ring. Bounce the ball into it until it falls. MEET POLI Poli is your little winged buddy. Poli reacts to every close call, celebrates your best saves, and grows closer to you every day. Pet Poli, open daily gifts, and dress Poli up with hats and wings from the shop.
