About the game

A one-thumb brick breaker where the angle is the skill.

Ricochet Rush is a physics arcade game for one thumb. A paddle slides along the bottom of a neon arena; where the orb lands on it sets the angle of the next shot. Line it up well and one hit becomes a chain of explosions that sweeps the whole wave.

Runs are short, restarts are instant, and nothing is left to hidden luck: the aim line shows exactly where a launch will go, and every chain plays out so you can see what caused it.

Features

What it does

The paddle is the only control

Slide anywhere to move it, tap once to launch. Where the orb lands on the paddle sets the bounce, up to 60° either way, so every catch is also an aim.

Chains you can read

Explosive blocks set off their neighbours with a visible shockwave. Long chains earn a gold CHAIN ×N callout and a 25% bonus on everything they destroy.

Combos and bank shots

Keep destroying blocks inside a two-second window to climb from ×1 to ×5. Bounce off a wall first and the next hit pays a Bank Shot bonus.

Blocks with jobs

Standard blocks break in one hit. Armored plates take three, with battery bars that count down. Bumpers kick the orb faster. Explosives do the rest.

A shield, not a pit

Miss the orb and it bounces off an energy shield with five hit points instead of ending the run. A last-second chain that clears the board can even win one back.

Made to be seen clearly

Block colours were picked to stay distinct for colour-blind players, and every block type also has its own shape. Shake, sound, music and a Reduced Motion mode each have a switch.
