Bat the temari. Pop the balloons.

TEMARI

Game Overview

A first-person paddle breakout set in a cozy Japanese night. You hold a hagoita (battledore) at the mouth of a lantern-lit corridor; keep the temari thread-ball alive in an endless rally and pop every paper balloon down the hall.

The Game

🏮

Tap to send the temari deep down the corridor. It ricochets off the floor, ceiling and walls, popping paper balloons as it goes, then comes back toward you — slide your hagoita with a fingertip and bat it back at a fresh angle. Drop it and you lose a life; keep the rally alive and one shot can clear a whole cluster.

Power-ups & the Pheasant

🎏

Balloons drop helpers you catch with the hagoita: Split multiplies the temari into a swarm, Focus slows time to a calm crawl, the Pheasant swoops in to burst balloons for you, Wide stretches your paddle, and Life grants one more temari. From the second world on, ninja balloons hurl shuriken — slide aside to dodge, then pop them to stop the attack.
