More about this game
Your goal is to guide a bouncing meteor to the landing pad at the bottom of a spinning tower. Holding down makes the meteor smash through colored rock slabs, building your combo and score. If you hit a dark stone layer while smashing, your meteor cracks and the run ends. As you clear levels, the towers grow from 40 to up to 120 slabs, spinning faster with more dark stone mixed in.
Tips
- Watch the slab directly under your meteor; it glows red when a dark stone layer is about half a second away.
- Smashing slabs fills your fever meter. Once full, your meteor catches fire and can safely break dark stone for 2.3 seconds.
- Releasing your hold right before hitting a dark stone layer grants a close call bonus of 3 points.
Questions
How do I get a higher score?
Smashing multiple slabs without bouncing builds a combo multiplier. You also earn a clear bonus of 10 points plus 5 times your current level when reaching the bottom.
What happens when the meteor catches fire?
When the fever meter fills, the meteor ignites for 2.3 seconds. During this time, it can smash through dark stone without breaking.
Why did my meteor break?
The meteor breaks if you are holding down to smash when it hits a dark stone layer. You must release to bounce on dark stone.
