A downloadable game

There's a ball. You control it with the playdate's accelerometer. It bounces into things. Bounce into things faster and earn medals!

Currently contains 9 levels and a daily challenge mode with physics changes to the game. There are 5 daily challenges that are cycled through, the intention is to add more in the future.


Additional Info

  • Press A at any time to set the current playdate position as neutral. This can increase comfort, but also make movement a little less intuitive if you deviate very far from flat. 
  • You can use the d-pad instead as an alternative movement method, if you select it via the playdate menu. This is currently slower than the accelerator input and isn't quite ready yet. The times will not be comparable.
  • The game runs at around 27FPS on a Rev B playdate. You can turn off the background in the playdate menu to get back up to 30FPS.
