Aim, kick, and land the can! Can Kick! is a pixel-art physics game that puts your aim and timing to the test. Drag to set your angle and power, release to kick, and watch the can fly toward the bin. MASTER 20 LEVELS Start with simple shots, then take on narrow gaps, raised bins, and moving obstacles. Each level introduces a different challenge. Send the can over a wall, slip beneath an obstacle, or wait for the perfect opening. WORK WITH THE WIND More power is not always the answer. Read the distance, adjust your angle, and account for changing winds. Touching the target is not enough—the can needs to stay inside. RETRY WITHOUT LIMITS There is no attempt limit. Missed your shot? Restart the level, adjust your approach, and try again. Complete levels to unlock the next challenge. BUILD YOUR CHALLENGE STREAK How many shots can you land in a row? Every successful kick adds a point and moves the bin. Adapt to new positions and winds to keep your run alive. One missed shot ends the streak. COMPETE ON GAME CENTER Beat your Challenge high score and see how you rank against other players on the Game Center leaderboard. Enjoy one-finger controls and retro pixel art on iPhone and iPad. Easy to learn, with plenty of room to sharpen your skills. One can. One bin. Make it count!
