About this game

Two teams of pencils, two desks and a lot of crumpled paper. Hold to aim, watch the see-through line show where the ball will go, and let go. Every hit takes a bit off your rival, and five hits knock a pencil flat.

Paper lies about on your desk: walk over a sheet to scoop up its balls. Some give one, some two, a whole stack fills your pouch, red sheets hide a bomb and gold stars a special ball. Duck behind books and office clutter, knock it flat, and use whatever the room throws at you.

  • Six rooms with a twist: office, school and a haunted room to start, then a hospital, police station and TV studio to unlock. Spilled coffee, a teacher who hands out detention, a ghost that steals balls, runaway beds, a siren that makes someone WANTED and an audience whose applause makes hits count extra.
  • Special balls: paper planes that home in, triple shots, giant balls that flatten cover, glue, bouncy balls and eraser bombs.
  • Moves: jump, dodge roll, duck, charged super throws and catching balls to throw them back.
  • A tutorial that shows you: every move is played out first, with a ghost thumb on the phone controls or the keys and mouse lighting up on PC, then it's your turn.
  • Gadgets: fans, sprinklers, printers, the room lights, desk lamps, alarm clocks and air coolers, for you and the computer pencils to use.
  • Modes: best-of-three duels, King of the Desk, Capture the Eraser, Survival waves with a Marker Boss, a six-room Career and Party chaos.
  • Online duels: one on one with a friend anywhere: one of you hosts, the other types the 4-letter room code. Best of three rounds.
  • Weekly leaderboards: this week's points and online wins from everyone, under a funny made-up name like Sneaky Stapler 42. A new race every Monday.
  • Shop and goals: hats, skins, paper styles, trails, dances, voices and rooms, all earned by playing, plus goals to chase. No real money: an optional short video after a match doubles your points, never forced.

How to install

The game isn't in an app store yet, so your phone or PC asks a couple of extra questions. That's normal.

Android
  1. If your browser asks whether to keep the file, tap Download anyway.
  2. When it's finished, tap the download notification, or open Files → Downloads and tap the .apk file.
  3. If the phone says it can't install unknown apps, tap Settings, switch on Allow from this source, then go back.
  4. Tap Install. If Play Protect warns you, tap More details → Install anyway. It asks only because the game isn't from the Play Store.
  5. If it still won't install, open the .apk with your phone's own app instead of Google Play: App Market or Files on Honor and Huawei, My Files on Samsung. Or turn off Play Store → your profile → Play Protect → ⚙ → Scan apps for a moment, install, and turn it back on.
  6. Tap Open, or find the game with your other apps.
