Game overview

Splashy Arcade is a precision platform-hopping game where a small ball leaps from one colorful pad to the next, and every landing is a judgment call. Touch down off-center or clip a red platform and the run is over, so distance is earned one careful bounce at a time. A mirror mode flips your controls for a genuinely disorienting twist on muscle memory. Gems collected along the way unlock new balls and bases, giving your hops a cosmetic reward loop.

Best suited to precision-platformer fans and high-score chasers who enjoy twitch-skill challenges..

How to play Splashy Arcade

  1. Launch your ball onto the first platform to begin.
  2. Steer each bounce to land safely on the next platform.
  3. Avoid red platforms that end your run on contact.
  4. Collect gems along the path to spend in the shop.
  5. Try mirror mode once you have mastered normal controls.
