Read full description

Pivot is a physics puzzle you play with a single swipe. Drag to set the launch angle. Release, and watch it unfold โ€” the orb falls, ricochets off the walls, and threads the board to collect every target. The velocity is solved for you. The angle is yours. That one gesture hides a surprising amount of depth. ONE SWIPE. INFINITE DEPTH. No buttons, no clutter โ€” just you and the angle. Beginners clear the early boards with a lazy flick. Experts read the entire ricochet before they let go. 300 HANDCRAFTED LEVELS Ten chapters, from your first gentle arc to five-bounce gauntlets that only one line solves. Every board is hand-built and physics-validated, so there is always a way through โ€” the trick is finding it. REAL PHYSICS, REAL MASTERY Gravity, friction, momentum, angle-in-equals-angle-out. Nothing is faked. The same swipe always gives the same result, so getting better is entirely on you โ€” and it feels incredible when a tricky bounce finally clicks. A DAILY CHALLENGE A fresh procedural board every day. Fewest bounces wins. Come back tomorrow for a brand-new one. MAKE IT YOURS Two dozen luminous ball skins and ten glassmorphism worlds โ€” switch the whole mood from midnight Nebula to bright Paper in a single tap. Stuck on a board? The optional Trajectory Guide draws the ghost path before you launch. PLAY ANYWHERE 100% offline. No account, no login, no wifi. Open it on a plane and play all 300 levels. FAIR BY DESIGN No ads. No energy meters. No subscriptions. Chapter 1 is free; Pivot Pro is a one-time unlock for the rest โ€” and every cosmetic is purely optional. One swipe. Infinite depth. Master the angle.
