No ads. The blocks keep drifting down. Drag to aim. Release a stream of ricocheting marbles. Break numbered blocks before they cross the line, and turn every clean volley into score, momentum and a deeper run. BUILD A RUN • Grow your volley with marble pickups. • Draft a Workshop boost every 15m in endless runs. • Explore three 18m expeditions: Shieldworks, Glassworks and Repairworks, with boosts at 6m and 12m. • Hit directional armor from above, break linked tiles, redirect marbles and expose shielded targets. • Complete the Bankshot trial, then discover Needle and Focus through deeper runs or expedition victories. • Combine the right perks to activate the Aftershock, Threader and Impact evolutions. • Bank power-ups for the moment the blocks get close. SHATTER THE CORE Core Blocks descend as recurring zone challenges. Focus your marbles, open the shell, claim a score bounty, bank a power-up and clear the entire row. COME BACK STRONGER Every run earns Cores, even when the blocks reach the line. Spend them in the Forge on upgrades that carry into your next endless run. The Well gathers Cores while you're away; collect them whenever you open the game. Keep a three-day Daily streak to open the Wonder Vault.
