Game Play
Basics
This is a ricochet physics puzzle game is inspired by pinball where your goal is to drop a basketball into the basket.
Dropping area
Near the top of the screen there is a box you can drop the ball into play from.
You can tap and hold to prep the ball for drop, move side to side as needed & then drop the ball when the timing is right.
You can drop the ball so it hits off the side of a platform to bounce it away from the platform.
Platforms
Levels contain a variety of platforms, some of which are fixed while others may rotate.
Fixed platforms do not have markers on them, whereas rotating platforms have a yellow center with a rotating arrow on it.
You can spin platforms that move clockwise 10 degrees by clicking on the center of them.
Platforms only spin clockwise, so if you need to spin a platform 10 or 20 degrees counterclockwise you will need to instead spin it clockwise by 160 or 170 degrees.
Some movable platforms are squares so they have 4 sides and you only have to rotate 90 degrees for a full turn.
When to spin moving platforms
You can rotate platforms before putting the ball in motion, or after dropping the ball in play.
If a platform needs to move counterclockwise you generally want to position it before dropping the ball. If a platform needs to move clockwise only then you may be able to move it concurrent with play.
Some platforms need to remain still until the ball is dropped on them so that the ball uses most of its energy before rolling off (or bouncing off) to a side.
Warps
Many stages have blue warps on them.
You can beat some levels without using the warps on them, but most levels which have a warp require using the warp to beat the stage.
When you go through a warp you go out the other warp and fall straight down.
Balls can go in a repeat pattern where the warp is used multiple times consecutively.
In some cases you need to rotate platforms
Stars
Some stages have stars on them which you can collect.
The stars have no impact on play & you can beat a stage without collecting the stars on it.
Hazards
Anything which is red is a hazard that will destroy the ball if touched.
Red platforms are stationary.
Red disks can be stationary, move side to side, move up and down, or move in a circular pattern on a grid.
Moving red disks show their movement track in the screen background.
Levels
This game has 30 stages which are unlocked sequentially.
You can go back and replay previously beat levels at any time.
Winning vs losing
You beat a stage by getting the ball in a basket.
You lose if your ball falls out of screen low, off screen to either side, or runs into on obstacle.
This game offers unlimited continues, starting you at the beginning of any failed level.
Tips
Spin platforms that need to be adjusted counterclockwise in advance so you do not have to hit the rotation button 16 or 17 times while the ball is already moving.
Sometimes it can make sense to leave particular platforms flat so that the ball loses most of its energy before slowly rolling off to a side.
Be careful with your release timing and positioning with the ball if you have to position many platforms. Whenever you fail a level you will need to reset all the platforms to their correct settings from their defaults.
