Lob

How to play

Nine tiny side-view holes a day, one slingshot flick per stroke, and one mid-flight lob you can spend to bend a shot when the geometry says no. Every stroke is a bet you make with your thumb, and everyone plays the same nine until midnight.

1. 1Drag anywhere and release: the ball fires opposite your drag, and drag length is power.
2. 2Read the 14 dots before you let go — they are the exact first 0.6 seconds of the shot.
3. 3Spend your one lob mid-flight to kick the ball up and kill its forward speed.
4. 4Clear the walls, bumpers, sand and water; the cup only takes a ball under 260 px/s.
5. 5Play all nine, then read the card. Everyone gets the same nine until midnight.
