Tumbleshot is a physics-driven puzzle game where every shot counts. Launch balls through fields of interactive pegs, watch them bounce and ricochet, and aim for the highest-scoring zones below. MASTER THE PHYSICS Pull to aim and power up — the farther you pull, the harder your shot flies. Release, then let gravity, momentum, and peg bounces do the rest. Every angle matters. UNLOCK POWERFUL BALL TYPES Start with the Standard ball and unlock five more as you earn stars. The Heavy ball plows through obstacles. The Bouncy ball ricochets wildly. The Explosive ball detonates on contact, destroying nearby pegs in a fiery blast. The Phase ball passes straight through standard pegs. The Multi ball splits into three on launch. DISCOVER SPECIAL PEGS 46 peg types across fourteen worlds. Mushroom pegs launch balls skyward. Rewind pegs reverse the ball's path through time. Gravity Flip pegs send balls floating upward. Wormhole pegs teleport balls across the board. Rainbow Bridge pegs create arcing rainbow ramps. Cupid pegs fire arrows that buff distant targets — and dozens more waiting to be discovered! CHAIN COMBOS & TRICK SHOTS Land consecutive balls in the same zone to stack combo multipliers up to 3x. Pull off trick shots like Ricochet Master, Peg Collector, and Chain Breaker for bonus points. Every ball counts — use them wisely.
