About

Steelbound

Features
Read full description

Turn your iPhone into a wooden tabletop maze. Steelbound uses motion sensors and realistic physics to make every tilt, nudge, and flick matter. Guide polished steel balls through grooves, around walls, over obstacles, and into the glowing finish. Push too hard and a ball may escape its path, fall into a danger hole, or leave another ball behind. Each stage introduces a new physical challenge: • Tilt naturally to control direction and speed • Nudge the board to free a ball or change its momentum • Flick and stop the phone to make the ball jump • Navigate straight and curved grooves, walls, and holes • Control multiple balls at once in advanced stages • Guide every ball to safety to complete the stage The stages grow more demanding as you progress, rewarding patience, timing, balance, and a steady hand. Your progress is saved automatically, so you can continue from the latest stage whenever you return. Simple to begin. Satisfying to master.
