Flick Pitching: Curve It to the Target
About This Game
A pitching puzzle where how you move your finger sets the pitch. Dodge walls and wind, and hit every target before time runs out. 150 stages.
Throw a ball from the front of the screen and hit the target standing at the back in this pitching puzzle. Each stage gives you 20 to 45 seconds, and you can throw again as many times as you like until time runs out. Your progress is saved, so you can play a little at a time.
Even with the same target, the ball takes a different path depending on whether you throw it straight or curve it around the side of a wall. "Pitch Types & Throws" in the game lists 7 pitch types, like DROP, which sinks sharply at the end, and KNUCKLE, which wobbles unpredictably. As you move on, you'll meet moving walls, spinning walls, wooden crates, boards that bounce the ball sideways, and wind. Some stages even change how the ball falls.
All 150 stages are in order from easy to hard. When you clear a stage, you earn 1 to 3 stars based on your remaining time. With the coins you earn, you can buy 6 ball skins that change only how the ball looks. Your total stars are sent to the rankings every 10 stages. On the Records screen, you can pick any stage where you haven't earned 3 stars and play it again. It's great for anyone who likes to think carefully about which way to send the ball.
How to play
Flick the ball at the bottom of the screen toward a target to throw it. The ball lands where you lift your finger. Throw in an arc to curve it, or press and hold before you throw to make it faster. Dodge walls and wind, and hit every target in time to clear the stage.
Tips
- The clock starts counting down when you throw your first ball. Before you throw, watch how the walls and targets move, then take aim.
- You earn 3 stars by clearing a stage with at least half your time left, or by hitting the center of the target for a PERFECT.
- Wooden crates only break when hit by a fast ball. A curved ball is a little slower, so press and hold before you throw.
