Polishing apples…

How to Play

Tim thinks he's too quick to get hit. Prove him wrong, one apple at a time.

STEP 1

Pick a thrower

Mark hurls fastballs, Marcy never misses, Abby reloads at light speed.

STEP 2

Load up

Apples rain from the tree. Catch them in your basket: golden = +3, rotten = -2. That’s your ammo for the round.

STEP 3

Aim & throw

Tim dodges, ducks, jumps and weaves. Lead your shot: apples take time to fly!

STEP 4

Survive 5 rounds

Tim gets faster and sneakier each round. Chain hits for streak bonuses, then post your score.

🏀 Why the right foot? During a fateful pickup basketball game, Mark stepped squarely on Tim's right toe. It never fully recovered. Tim wears a bandage, hops dramatically and screams like a kettle when you hit it. Mark players get +50% on toe shots for “local knowledge.”

Distance pays

Points are multiplied by how far away Tim is: ×1.0 at 12 ft up to ×3+ from deep. Tim drifts farther each round, and you can step back to the free-throw or three-point line for an even bigger multiplier (if you dare). Consecutive hits add a +10% streak bonus each.
