BOSS ATTACKS
Attack guide
Watch the warnings. Attack types and strength vary by course.
Spread & burst
Red shots fan out. Bursts aim again with each salvo, so watch the next shots too.
Homing shots
Yellow shots follow your paddle. They stop tracking near the bottom; watch their path and dodge.
Rain
Shots fall through the marked vertical lanes. Move into an unmarked gap.
Drop & shockwave
The red line turns balls downward or diagonally downward. Get ready to catch them.
Side hole
The warned wall opens. Balls that escape through the hole disappear.
Wind
Balls drift with the arrows only inside the blue band. Some Medium attacks open a hole after the wind starts.
VOID
The purple circle pulls nearby balls inward and consumes balls touching its core. Safe during the warning.
Red attack block
Breaking it pops a red ! upward before it falls. Catching it costs one heart.
Shrink item
A purple >< shrinks the paddle for 4 seconds. Catching balls gets harder, but dodging shots gets easier.
Slow item
A blue ≈ slows movement for 2 seconds. Avoid it when danger is near.
Simple controls
Move during the countdown to choose where your first ball launches.
Desktop
Move with your mouse or the left/right arrow keys. Press Esc to pause.
Mobile
Touch and drag across the playfield. Use the pause button to take a break.
