Before releasing the ball, you paint invisible forces onto the canvas: ARROW FIELDS — Drag to draw directional gravity zones VORTEX FIELDS — Tap to place swirling force spirals PUSH ZONES — Tap to repel the ball in any direction Then press LAUNCH. Watch your painted physics come alive. ------------------------------ HANDCRAFTED LEVELS From a single nudge to complex multi-field chains. Each level introduces a new mechanic. COMPLETELY OFFLINE No internet required. Ever. Perfect for flights, commutes, and screen-time-conscious kids. ZERO ADS No banners. No interstitials. No "watch an ad to continue." Buy once, play forever. PHYSICS THAT FEEL RIGHT Real force falloff, elastic bouncing, and momentum. Your solutions feel satisfying because the physics is honest. 3-STAR RATINGS Use less ink → earn more stars. Efficient solutions are rewarded.
