Hit the orb with the middle of the paddle and it goes straight in. Hit it with an end and it goes sideways. Move the paddle through the hit and the orb takes that motion too. That is the whole control scheme, and it is enough to aim at one brick across the arena.
One turn of the crown carries the paddle all the way round. Three sensitivity settings, and it can be inverted. A watch with no usable crown gets a drag along the outer edge.
No phone, no account, no server of ours. The game's own code makes no network call. Scores and saved runs stay on the watch. Google Play is used for the one purchase and to give it back after a reinstall.
The run is saved and picks up at the same step. Nothing runs while the app is in the background.
Four colour sets, one for deuteranopia, one for tritanopia, one in grey. Reduced motion and high contrast are settings.
The tutorial, the first chapter and the daily run are free. One payment adds the rest. No subscription and nothing else to buy.
Six levels that teach the parts, ending on the Prism Core boss.
A 90 second score run built from the date. Everyone gets the same arena on the same day. Results stay on the watch.
Twenty-four more levels and four more bosses. Turning rings and cells that explode, then gravity and portals, then all of it at higher speed, and then Pulse, where the arena itself moves: arcs that swing, rings that breathe, wells that orbit or push away, cells on a fuse, and cells sealed until their key falls.
Eight puzzles where time passes only while the crown turns. Stop turning and the arena stops with you, with every orb's path drawn ahead of it and the arc of the edge you can still reach. One lost orb ends the run. The score is strokes against a par, so the shot you pick is what counts and a fast wrist is worth nothing.
Waves that grow in speed and shape. Every fourth wave offers a choice of two upgrades. The run ends when the last shield is used.
Every boss in the game, in order, on one set of shields, with the score carried from each to the next.
