Boba Blast

The pitch

Fast, head-to-head pearl-duel game. You and a rival each face a spinning mega-ball of colorful boba pearls. Shoot matching pearls to pop them in satisfying chain reactions, chip away at the cluster, and be the first to clear your ball. Matches feel like a competitive arcade duel: aim carefully, manage limited shots, and race the clock while your opponent does the same. Wrong-color hits ricochet instead of popping, so every throw matters.

Controls & how it runs

Pop pearls off your mega-ball faster than your rival. Win by clearing your cluster first, or by popping more pearls if you both run out of shots. Controls Press anywhere on the play area to start aiming. Drag to shape your shot: Up → higher arc (lob) Down → flatter, line-drive shot Left / right → steer aim Release to fire along the glowing trajectory arc. Tap Swap balls to switch your active shot with the preview ball beside it.

Getting a run going takes exactly one press: Press start, up top, and the game boots inside this page — nothing downloads in the background and no form wants your details before the first jump. The cabinet is drawn for a flexible screen and listens to mouse, keyboard or touch, whichever the game prefers. It reshapes itself for tall and wide screens alike, so phone, tablet and desktop all get the full picture. Given a fullscreen button, use it — scores look better at full size, that's just science.
