About the Game

Are you ready for a challenge?

Learn the shots in the Academy, practice against the computer, then challenge your friends and family.

A single button flips your flippers but gives you precise control of your shots. Master your timing, improve your reactions to your opponent, learn all the tricks and develop your own techniques until the ball is under your control and scoring becomes second nature.

The demo version on Steam includes:

  • 20 levels of the Academy – 20 “assists” for you to try to score from to help perfect your technique.

  • Easy & Medium “longest streak mode” – see how many games in a row you can win against the computer in games up to 3 minutes long.

  • Multiple control options – touch screen, mouse, keyboard and game controller.

  • Professional and amateur game speeds.

  • “Aim assist” – need a little help? Then enable this!

  • Sudden Death – first to score in the event of a tie wins the game.

  • Buzzer beater – baskets scored after the buzzer still count if hit before it sounds.

  • Possession timer – hands the ball to your opponent if you keep it for too long.

  • No adverts.

The full version on Steam unlocks the full game including:

  • 80 more Academy levels giving a total of 100 (50 amateur and 50 professional) covering all the shots you need to become a Flippee Ball master.

  • Increase maximum game length from 3 to 30 minutes.

  • Four more game modes:

      • Hard longest streak mode.

      • Progressive longest streak mode where each game the computer gets progressively harder to beat.[

      • Career mode – also increases difficulty with every game won – but this time your progress is saved so losing isn’t the end.

      • Player vs player – play against your friends, family and enemies on the same device.

  • Stats:

      • In-game display of each player's current points per minute.

      • Saving the highest points per minute to your device.

      • Player vs computer game stats.

      • Current and longest vs computer winning streak stats.

      • Tracking of current and longest winning streak across all four longest streak modes and both game speeds.

      • Tracking of the highest shot.

Flippee Ball. Simple. Skillful.
