Pocket Game
Tilt the tin. Steel balls into the goal.
About this game
Remember the little round tin with a football pitch under glass and a few steel balls inside? You tilted it, carefully, to roll the balls past the holes and into the goal. Pocket Game is that toy on your phone, with real physics: the balls roll, knock together, clink on the rim and drop through the holes just like the real thing.
Like the old toy it has two sides. A ball that falls through a hole lands on the back, so you twist your wrist and the tin turns over: football on one side, ice hockey on the other. Play a quick match where the holes score for the other team, practise freely, climb 60 levels, try today's tin, or pass the phone round the family for a duel.
- Real toy physics: steel balls that roll, bounce off the cover when you shake the tin, clink on the rim and wobble on the edge of a hole before they drop.
- Two sides: football on the front, ice hockey on the back. A twist of the wrist turns the tin over.
- 60 levels: more balls, more holes guarding the goal, slippery ice and rust patches, with three stars for time and a ghost ball that races your best run.
- Daily tin: the same board for everyone each day, a streak that forgives one missed day a week, a weekly cup and a line to share with friends.
- Duel: two to four players take turns on the same tin: fastest to get every ball in wins.
- Collect: toy points buy chrome, brass, copper, painted and gold balls for your shelf, and challenges fill a sticker album of 1950s players.
- The crowd and the lady: a terrace that roars GÓÓÓL and groans at a near miss, and a 1950s lady with something to say about all of it.
