Bottle Breaker - Smash the Shelf Clean
The carnival bottle toss, honestly simulated. Flick speed sets where the ball arrives on the shelf, flick angle picks the bottle, and every round hands you exactly one spare ball. Break two with one throw and you'll hear about it.
Limited balls change everything
Most throwing games give you infinite ammunition, so a miss costs nothing and hits stop feeling earned. Bottle Breaker plays it like the actual stall: each round you get one ball more than there are bottles. Miss twice and the round is unwinnable, so every flick carries a little weight, and clearing a shelf with your spare still in hand, the sharpshooter clear, pays a bonus that makes careful throwing the profitable strategy.
The ball flies with the same three-dimensional physics as our basketball game: real gravity, real depth. Your swipe speed decides how high the arc arrives at the shelf, so soft throws thud uselessly into the shelf face and hard ones sail over into the curtain; the swipe angle walks the arrival point along the row of bottles. A hit bleeds speed but doesn't stop the ball, which is why two bottles standing close can go down to a single well-placed throw. From round three a golden bottle is worth double, and from round five the whole shelf starts sliding.

How to play
- Flick the ball with finger or mouse. The last instant of the swipe sets power and direction.
- Find the shelf height. Too soft thuds into the shelf, too hard flies over. The right power becomes muscle memory in a few throws.
- Pick your bottle with the angle. Arrival walks left and right with your swipe direction.
- Hunt the double. Bottles standing close together can both fall to one ball. That's the bonus that banks your spare.
- Clear the shelf before the balls run out. A clear with a spare ball left pays the sharpshooter bonus. Run dry and it's game over, one tap to restart.

Frequently asked questions
My throws keep hitting the shelf front.
Flick faster. Power sets how high the ball arrives; the shelf face is what "too soft" looks like in this game.
How do double breaks work?
The ball keeps over half its speed through a bottle. When two stand close, aim the seam and the ball carries into the second.
Does it need the gyroscope?
No. This one is all flick: a finger on a phone or a mouse on a desktop play identically.
Where is my best score saved?
