Four walls. One ball.
No way out.
The ball can leave on any side. Hold it in with four paddles you steer all at once. Every hit adds 1 % speed.

What you get
The arena heats up
Everything starts amber and glows pink as the tempo climbs. You feel the speed before you read it.
Real ball physics
Angles, rounded paddle ends and spin. Where and how you hit decides where the ball goes.
One global leaderboard
Your best time goes on the board automatically. Every 10 hits you get a callout, and the tones climb with every hit.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes. It runs in your browser with no download and no account.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. On phones and tablets you steer in the swipe strip below the arena, so your fingers never block the view. Swipe sideways for the top and bottom paddles, up and down for the side paddles.
What counts for the leaderboard?
The time from start until the ball leaves, to a tenth of a second. Hits and final tempo are saved too but do not decide your place.
Can I change my name?
Yes. Enter a new name before your next run. Your best time keeps counting under the new name.
Can I turn the sound off?
Yes, with the sound button next to the arena.
How long can you last?
Most players lose the ball within the first minute. Find out if you are one of them.
