No ads. The blocks keep drifting down. Drag to aim. Release a stream of ricocheting marbles. Break numbered blocks before they cross the line, and turn every clean volley into score, momentum and a deeper run. BUILD A RUN • Grow your volley with marble pickups. • Draft a Workshop boost every 15m in endless runs. • Explore three 18m expeditions: Shieldworks, Glassworks and Repairworks, with boosts at 6m and 12m. • Hit directional armor from above, break linked tiles, redirect marbles and expose shielded targets. • Complete the Bankshot trial, then discover Needle and Focus through deeper runs or expedition victories. • Combine the right perks to activate the Aftershock, Threader and Impact evolutions. • Bank power-ups for the moment the blocks get close. SHATTER THE CORE Core Blocks descend as recurring zone challenges. Focus your marbles, open the shell, claim a score bounty, bank a power-up and clear the entire row.
