About the Game

Pure, tactile focus.

Tilt the board to shift gravity and guide metal spheres into their targets. It starts as a relaxing physics exercise, but the complexity soon deepens.

A single careless movement can spill your spheres over the edge in Patience Mode, forcing an instant level restart.

As you progress, the challenge multiplies. The play area fractures into multiple distinct boards that tilt at the exact same time. A single movement might perfectly align the left board, but disrupt your setup on the right.

🧘 Choose Your Playstyle 🛑

How you face these spatial challenges is entirely up to you. Toggle between two distinct game modes at any time to match your mood:

  • Zen Mode: Play with protective walls to keep your spheres from falling off. Perfect for finding a casual, stress-free kinetic flow.

  • Patience Mode: No walls. The edges are lethal, demanding absolute precision and a thoughtful approach.

Once you master a level's solution, refine your movements to achieve the perfect completion time, unlock fresh cosmetic skins for your spheres, and climb the global leaderboards.

Key Features:

  • Multi-Board Physics: Control 2, 3, or even 6 distinct puzzle spaces at the exact same time with a single input.

  • Two Ways to Play: Find comfort in the safety of Zen Mode, or embrace the tension of the classic, high-stakes Patience Mode.

  • Global Leaderboards: Master the physics and compete against the world for the fastest, strictest star completion times on every level.

  • Minimalist UI: Zero screen clutter. Just you, the boards, and an atmospheric void.
