Controls & how it runs

Help Smudge the raccoon prank his grumpy neighbour, Mr. Crabtree! In every level, get the prank (a water balloon, a pie, a paint bucket and more) to hit Mr. Crabtree. Draw one line, like a ramp, a bridge or a lever, then let go and physics does the rest. The less ink you use, the more stars you earn (up to 3 per level). Desktop Controls: Mouse: Click and drag to draw your line, release to start the prank. R: Retry the level. P: Pause. Space or Enter: Continue (home screen). ? button: Get a hint. Skip button: Skip a level you're stuck on (after 3 tries). Mobile Controls: Swipe: Draw your line, lift your finger to start the prank. Arrow button: Retry the level. ? button: Get a hint. Pause button: Pause. Skip button: Skip a level you're stuck on (after 3 tries).

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 portrait (upright) screen and listens to mouse, keyboard or touch, whichever the game prefers. This cabinet stands tall: it was built for portrait screens, so a phone held upright gives it the frame it wants — though it will squeeze politely into any window. Given a fullscreen button, use it — scores look better at full size, that's just science.

Pro tips for puzzle cabinets

Count what's missing, not what's there. In matching and logic boards the empty spaces and absent pieces usually draw the shape of the solution for you.
Solve the corner first. Constrained edges and locked pieces have the fewest options, which makes them the honest starting point of almost every board here.
If you're stuck, change the order, not the plan. Many boards on this row are the same moves played in a different sequence — the lock was the order all along.
