BANKSHOT

Bankshot is a free browser physics puzzle game in black and white pixel art. Launch a goofy little ball, place his Friends to bank him off walls and into the goal, and chase perfect-bounce combos for the leaderboard. Make your own levels in the built-in level editor and share them with the community. No download, no login, plays instantly in your browser.

About the game

No set solution. Drop a Friend here, angle another one there, and watch little guy bounce off whatever you build. Every puzzle can be solved differently. The level is yours to figure out.

Perfect hits build your combo. The trail heats up, the music layers in, the announcer loses her mind, and your score multiplies. Chase 3 stars on every level, then chase the top of the leaderboard.

Community levels

Bankshot ships with a full level builder: walls you draw freehand, hazards, lasers, bombs, portals, fans, magnets, keys and locks, collectibles, custom time limits and camera-scrolling arenas as big as you dare.

Publish your level straight from the builder and it goes live for everyone. Browse the community catalog, search by name or creator, rate what you play, and watch your level's play count climb. The best community creations get featured in the main level roster, so your puzzle can end up as somebody's Level 1.

Build one today and see if anyone can figure it out.
