About the game.

Game of Skill takes the timeless challenge of throwing a thing into another thing and turns it into hundreds of increasingly ridiculous trick shots. Line up the angle, dial in the power, and get that ball in the cup.

It starts simple, but soon you'll be bouncing across moving platforms, repairing faulty platforms, flying through magical portals, dodging dangerous spikes... and so much more. Change the angle, adjust the power, add some spin, or try something completely ridiculous. A near miss becomes another idea, and persistence leads to perfection. It may take a few attempts or a few hundred, but you never know when the next shot will be THE shot!

200+ handcrafted challenges

Every level is built by hand, with no procedural filler, just increasingly unreasonable ways to get something into a cup.

Easy to understand, not easy to master

Line up your shot and launch, but don't get too comfortable. New obstacles, objectives, and gameplay mechanics used in new and unexpected ways will keep you guessing and put your skills to the test.

Every world changes the game

Each of the first 3 worlds in Game of Skill introduce new gameplay mechanics to explore and master. You'll need to perfect them all to survive the brutal, unforgiving 4th world.

Persistence pays off

Near misses aren't wasted attempts, just more information. Tweak something, try a new angle, add some spin, or simply execute a little better. A little frustration is a small price to pay for the pure satisfaction that awaits the perfect shot!

Boss challenges

Can you survive the ultimate test at the end of each world? Everything you've learned comes together in multi-phase challenges that push your skills to the limit.

Unlock your style

Collect ball and trail combinations as you conquer challenges.

Dynamic soundtrack

Featuring MOTHER_SPAN, ST@R•FL€X, and Amos Cochran.
