Read full description

DropBound is a fast, physics-driven score chase. One tap drops the ball — pegs and momentum do the rest. THE DROP A ball slides along the top rail. Tap to release it. It clatters down through a field of pegs and settles into one of five scoring lanes. Lively, unpredictable, but never unfair — your release timing always matters. KEEP YOUR RUN ALIVE You start every run with 10 balls, but a good drop buys you more: • Land a 2x lane and you keep your ball. • Hit the 5x center jackpot and bank three extra balls. • Drift into a 1x edge lane and that ball is spent. The better you read the field, the longer the run goes. BUILD A STREAK Every 2x-or-better landing heats up your streak meter and adds a growing bonus to your score. Chain strong drops for escalating payouts — then watch a single weak landing reset it and start the climb again. CHASE THE BOARD • Triple Jackpot, back-to-back 5x, and long streak milestones to clear • Bonus-ball banking goals that reward aggressive play • A personal best that turns every run into "one more try" BUILT FOR QUICK SESSIONS • Runs are short and instantly replayable • One-tap control — easy to start, hard to optimize • Clean, high-contrast board with oversized score feedback • Plays offline, no account required Read the field. Hit the center. Keep the run alive.
