Common questions

How do I hit the ball?

Put a finger down anywhere on the screen, drag away from the direction you want to go, and let go. The further you pull, the harder the shot, and an arrow shows the direction and power. Pull back only a little, or slide your finger back to the start, and nothing happens.

What's the lightbulb?

It's a hint. Tap it once to see an arrow showing a shot to try, and tap it again to watch the whole flight. It's there whenever you want it and never costs anything.

What happens in water or lava?

You add a hit and the ball goes back to the spot you last hit it from.

How do medals work?

Gold is the fewest hits there is, silver is par, and bronze is finishing the hole. You can replay a hole to earn a better medal. Your best medal for each hole is kept.

What does "Bouncy walls" do?

It's in Settings, under Difficulty. With it on, the edges of each hole bounce the ball back, which is easier. With it off, leaving the hole is out of bounds and the ball goes back to where you hit it, which is harder.

Why is gravity different in some worlds?

It's meant to be. The Moon is low gravity, Jupiter is heavy, Jelly is super bouncy and Deep Sea is underwater. A small badge at the top of the screen tells you the rule for the hole you're on.

How do several players share one device?

Tap the player button on the main menu to add players, up to eight. Each player has a picture, a name, their own place in the campaign, their own medals and their own ball. Switch players from the same button.

How do I unlock more balls?

There are nine colours and nine faces. Classic and Happy are free, and the rest are earned as you play, by finishing holes, finishing under par, getting holes in one, and even falling in the water. The Balls screen shows how far along each one is.

Are my scores saved?

Yes. Your place, hits and medals are kept on the device. They aren't sent anywhere, so deleting the app removes them.

Why does sound or vibration not work?

Both have one switch in Settings, and the sound button during play. Vibration is only available on iPhone.

Which devices are supported?

iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 18 or later, and Mac with macOS 15 or later.
