Aim, shoot and bounce your way through a galaxy of glowing pegs. Line up your shot, launch the ball, then drag anywhere on the screen to steer the paddle and send the ball flying back up. Clear the orange cores before your balls run out. Every bounce is real physics, so every trick shot is one you actually pulled off. CONTROL EVERY BOUNCE • One thumb to aim, one tap to shoot • Steer the paddle while the ball is in the air: where it lands on the paddle sets the angle • Keep a rally going for as long as your reflexes allow EXPLORE NEW WORLDS • 180 hand-built levels across six worlds on the galaxy map • Earn up to three stars on every level • Armoured cores, bombs, moving pegs and bosses TRIGGER EPIC COMBOS • Light up peg after peg in one shot to grow your multiplier • Go SUPERNOVA: chain enough hits and the board slows down while the points pour in • Six drones, each changing how a shot plays: split the ball, pull it toward a core, blow up the board • Boosters for the tough levels: extra balls, super aim and more MORE WAYS TO PLAY • Nova Run: an endless string of arenas with an upgrade after every one • PvP duels: beat another player's recorded run and climb the leagues each season • Level creator: build your own board, beat it, then share a challenge link with friends • Daily rewards and a weekly leaderboard • Unlock and level up balls, trails, launchers and backdrops No ads.

Tap Brick Out is a color-sorting brick puzzle with one simple rule: every brick leaves through the wall of its own color. Tap a red brick and it slides up. Yellow slides down, green goes left, blue goes right. If the path is clear, the brick is gone. If another brick is in the way, nothing moves - and the move is still spent. So the puzzle is never "which brick", it is "in what order". HOW IT PLAYS - Tap a brick to send it toward its matching wall - Red up, yellow down, green left, blue right - A blocked brick stays put, so read the board before you tap - Clear every brick before the moves run out 1,000 LEVELS - 1,000 levels, from four-piece starters to dense walls of interlocking bricks - Hard and Super Hard boards are marked before you start one - Every board is checked by a solver, so every level has a real solution - All levels ship inside the app - nothing to download before you play THREE BOOSTERS - Hint: points out a brick that can leave right now - +3 Moves: when you are one tap short - Hammer: smash a brick that is in the way NO TIMERS Nothing is racing you. A level ends when the board is clear or the moves run out, so you can take as long as you like on a single tap. Portrait, one hand, short sessions. Play a level while the kettle boils, or sit down with a Super Hard board and work it out properly. Tap Brick Out is made by Narcade.
