August 2026

Fixes

  • Every control answers the moment you tap it.

Up to four players

  • Local multiplayer for up to four players on one screen.
  • A head-to-head mode: first to 16 points wins.
  • A free-play sandbox: freeze, pin and sling the ball around the planets.
  • Your best scores are saved between visits.
  • Survival speeds up in three tiers and keeps climbing.

Survival, sharpened

  • In survival the ball hunts you, and every save counts toward your score.
  • The flying mode is trimmed down to its best-feeling version.

Flying duels and a tutorial

  • The flying mode plays as a proper one-on-one duel.
  • A short animated tutorial shows how each mode works.
  • The black hole pulls the ball in properly.

Faster, with more modes

  • Stutters fixed, and the whole game runs noticeably faster.
  • A flying and dodging mode, and an asteroids mode.
  • Sound is on from the start, and there is a gentler arena for beginners.

Celestial Arena arrives

  • Pong with real gravity: planets drift through the arena and bend the ball's path.
  • A survival mode where one paddle guards the whole rim.
  • Plays on phones as well as computers.
