Flick a coin. A live Bitcoin chart falls out. Sometimes it's a 5-minute candle. Sometimes a week of gold. Once, mid-Trick-Shot, the Nvidia coin slid into the pocket and revealed NVDA's last hour as a green gradient line — and I forgot I was playing. Eleven real markets sit on the felt: • Crypto — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Dogecoin • Metals — Gold (XAU), Silver (XAG), Copper • Energy — Crude Oil (WTI) • Stocks — S&P 500 (SPY), Apple (AAPL), Nvidia (NVDA) Live prices stream from Binance perpetual futures. Every flick rolls a new chart — random timeframe, random style. The same Bitcoin coin shows you a different chart every time you knock it. The coins have mass that matches the asset. Gold is a brick. Doge is a marble. Hit Copper with Silver and physics behaves like physics. Tilt your phone and the table tilts with you. The felt remembers. How it plays • Pass-and-play with a friend, or take on the bot • Wager Tiny, Big, or All before each shot — pot scales 1× to 5× as coins fall • 20 hand-designed Trick Shot puzzles, three-star scoring • Daily Challenge with a par score I have personally failed to beat on a Tuesday Not a trading app. A fidget toy that happens to stream perpetual futures — bitcoin charts, oil prices, gold price, stock charts of NVDA, AAPL, SPY. All real. All live. Free. No ads. No subscriptions.

Tap a tile. Watch the color ripple outward. Drain every tile on the board. ColorDrain is a minimalist puzzle game built around one simple idea: every tap sends a wave through the grid. Plan your taps, chain the reactions, and clear each board in as few moves as possible. HOW IT PLAYS You have a board of empty tiles. Each tap fills the tapped tile and ripples outward through its neighbors. Tiles, walls, mirrors, and other obstacles shape where the color can go. Your goal is to fill the entire board, and your score depends on how cleanly you do it. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Most puzzle games ask you to match. ColorDrain asks you to plan. The same board can be solved in five taps or twenty, and finding the elegant solution feels like solving a tiny machine. FEATURES • 55 hand-crafted levels across 11 themed rows • A fresh daily puzzle, the same seed for every player worldwide • Endless mode with seeded levels you can replay • A built-in level editor for designing and saving your own puzzles • Three-star scoring rewards efficient solutions • Built one-handed for iPhone, fully portrait, no ads, no IAP A GROWING TOOLBOX Each row of levels introduces a new tile that changes how the ripple flows: • Amplifiers boost a tap into a long beam • Mirrors bend rays around corners • Bombs detonate when filled, taking neighbors with them • Teleporters warp the ripple to their partners on the same heading • Frozen barriers thaw under bomb blasts • Canals carry rays across long distances • Prisms burst light in all four directions • Locked tiles open only when surrounded • Infection tiles spread on their own once seeded • Heart tiles are the final puzzle: protect them, route around them, or finish them last BUILT FOR THE DEVICE Every action has a haptic. Every fill has a sound. Tap placement is precise enough to play with one thumb on the bus, and slow enough to think through on the couch. No accounts. No tracking. No internet required.
