Tumbleshot® is a physics-driven action game where every shot counts. Launch balls through interactive pegs and aim for high-scoring zones. Explore Adventure, climb generated boards, mix worlds, descend through Freefall, challenge a friend, or take on a fresh Daily Challenge. MASTER THE PHYSICS Pull to aim and power up — the farther you pull, the harder your shot flies. Release and let gravity, momentum, and peg bounces do the rest. ADVENTURE — 14 WORLDS, 196 LEVELS Explore Tutorial, Forest, Candy, Time, Paintball, Ice, Lava, Mechanical, Space, Electric, Music, Dream, Love, and Rainbow. Earn up to 3 stars per level and reach star milestones to unlock worlds and ball types. FREE EXPANSION PACKS — BOXING, CARNIVAL & TOY Three included worlds add 42 levels and ten special peg types, bringing the total to 17 worlds and 238 levels. Boxing: Launch punches with Jab pegs, time the opening Guard gloves, and keep the Speed Bag swinging. Carnival: Ring the High Striker bell, pass through tilting Ring Toss hoops, and knock down the Duck Gallery. Toy: Set Wind-Up cars rolling, bounce off Jack-in-the-Box heads, topple Domino chains, and ride Yo-Yos. All three also appear in World Runs, World Remix, Freefall, Duel, and Daily Challenge. No extra purchase required. FREEFALL — ONE BALL, THREE WORLDS Choose three different worlds and their order, or let the game pick. Choose your drop position, then release into one continuous descent. Hit pegs, collect moving targets, avoid fireballs, and land in a final container. Start with 3 health points; each fireball hit costs health and points. Earn up to 3 stars and a bonus for remaining health. Retry the same course or begin a new Freefall for a fresh layout. WORLD RUNS — SINGLE WORLD Choose from 16 worlds and climb seven increasingly difficult boards with three lives. Every run and retry generates new layouts. Clear all seven to conquer that world. Conquer the thirteen original worlds to unlock The Gauntlet: one board from each, back to back. WORLD REMIX Combine any two of 16 worlds for 120 pairings, or try six featured combinations such as Frozen Treats and Orbital Machine. Each run has seven boards and three lives. A failed board costs one life. Remix retries keep the same layout. Single World and Remix have separate saved progress. DUEL — TWO PLAYERS, ONE DEVICE Challenge a friend or the computer in a single world or two-world remix. Alternate five shots each on identical starting boards that evolve independently. Scores and peg changes are preserved between turns. Highest total wins; ties are draws. Rematches create fresh shared boards. DAILY CHALLENGE A new challenge every day. Difficulty builds throughout the week — easy on Monday, expert by Sunday. UNLOCK POWERFUL BALL TYPES Start with Standard and unlock five more by earning stars. Heavy powers through breakable pegs. Bouncy delivers wild ricochets. Explosive blasts nearby pegs on its first peg hit. Phase passes through standard pegs. Multi splits into three balls on launch. DISCOVER SPECIAL PEGS Master 56 peg types. Bounce skyward off Mushrooms, reverse your path with Rewind, bend trajectories around Gravity Wells, teleport through Wormholes, and explore each world’s possibilities. CHAIN COMBOS & TRICK SHOTS Land consecutive balls in the same zone to build combo multipliers up to 3x. Earn bonuses with Ricochet Master, Peg Collector, Chain Breaker, and other trick shots.
