Tumbleshot® is a physics-driven puzzle game where every shot counts. Launch balls through interactive pegs, watch them bounce and ricochet, and aim for the highest-scoring zones below. Explore the campaign, climb generated boards, mix worlds, challenge a friend, or solve a fresh puzzle every day. MASTER THE PHYSICS Pull to aim and power up — the farther you pull, the harder your shot flies. Release, then let gravity, momentum, and peg bounces do the rest. Every angle matters. 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 new worlds and ball types. FREE EXPANSION PACKS — BOXING & CARNIVAL Two included worlds add 28 levels and six special pegs, bringing the total to 16 worlds and 224 levels. Boxing: Launch powerful 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. Both worlds are also available in World Runs, World Remix, and Duel. No extra purchase required. WORLD RUNS — SINGLE WORLD Choose from 15 worlds and climb seven increasingly difficult boards with three lives. New layouts are generated for every run and retry. Clear all seven to conquer that world. Conquer the thirteen original worlds to unlock The Gauntlet: one challenging board from each, back to back. WORLD REMIX Combine any two of 15 worlds for 105 possible 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 so you can learn from your last attempt. Single World and Remix have separate saved progress. DUEL — TWO PLAYERS, ONE DEVICE Challenge a friend or the computer using a single world or a two-world remix. Alternate five shots each on identical starting boards that evolve independently. Your score and peg changes are preserved between turns. Highest total wins; ties are draws. A rematch creates a fresh shared starting board. DAILY PUZZLES A new generated puzzle every day.
