How to play

Tap Play to start the next unlocked level after the countdown. Tap the gameplay area to launch a pin toward the rotating wheel. Avoid pins already on the wheel and place every pin to complete the level. A collision ends the attempt; choose Retry to try again. Complete a level to unlock the next one, or revisit unlocked levels from Levels.

Stars and best times

Completing a level earns one star. Finish faster to earn two or three stars. Your best time and stars are saved on your iPhone. Countdown and paused time do not count toward your completion time.

Endless

Each pin placed earns one point. Clearing a round starts another challenge; a collision ends the run. Your personal best is saved automatically.

Daily Challenge

The challenge changes at 00:00 UTC, which may differ from midnight in your local time zone. Retry as often as you like to improve that day's best time. A run already started keeps its original challenge after midnight. Challenge configurations may repeat on different dates.

Progress, themes and settings

Progress and records are saved locally on your device. Ocean, Sunset and Midnight themes unlock through campaign progress; choose an unlocked theme in Themes. Sound and haptics can be changed in Settings. The app does not provide its own cloud save or restore of campaign progress. Game Center scores do not restore local progress, so avoid deleting the app when troubleshooting a save issue.

Game Center

Game Center is optional and requires an internet connection. Open the Game Center screen to connect and view leaderboards or achievements. You can keep playing offline if connection fails. Eligible results belong to the Game Center account connected when a run starts; offline or other-account results are not transferred to a different account. Failed submissions can retry when the original account is connected again. Game Center availability also depends on the app version and Apple's service.

Ads and offline play

The current version has no ads or in-app purchases. Campaign, Endless and Daily Challenge work offline; Game Center needs a connection.

Report a problem

Email your app version, iPhone model, iOS version, game mode and level or challenge date, what happened, and steps to reproduce it. A screenshot can help. Never send Apple Account passwords or other sensitive information.
