Tap to launch. Land in the right bucket. That's it. Until it isn't. There's a mode where buckets can steal all your points. One where the ball disappears and you shoot from memory. One where you solve math to score. One that gets faster every time you land a shot. 12 modes total. They start simple and get wild. You unlock new ones by proving you can handle the last. Daily Challenge: one mode, a few tries, and a global leaderboard that resets every 24 hours. Everyone plays the same challenge — your best score is the only one that counts. Warm up for free, then go for real. Yesterday's winners stay posted so you can see who held the crown. Compete on Game Center leaderboards. Track your accuracy and streaks. See which mode finally breaks you. One thumb. One pendulum. Good luck.
