SIMPLE TO LEARN One tap. No tutorial required. The physics do the rest. TWENTY HANDCRAFTED LEVELS Normal mode eases you in at 33% and ramps up to 80% of balls required. Twenty levels: each one a new puzzle in how many balls you need to catch. HARD MODE - UNLOCKABLE Beat all 20 Normal levels to unlock Hard Mode: tighter targets (50% โ 94%), double the score multiplier, and the same satisfying chain reactions at a whole new level of difficulty.
