How to play

Open a PDF or a photo in the Splash tab, then tap to play. Steer the paddle; break every word.

Notes

Every word on the page (found from its ink) becomes a brick, and so does each piece of its pictures; a photo is cut into tiles. Each brick is made of that piece of the page, splat by splat, so a word that breaks falls apart into pieces of its letters. Each page of a PDF is the next level.

Open a file in the Splash tab, or play the sample article or photo. The file is read on this device and never leaves it. Flat board and Dome work as in Shardball: the 3D button tips the page back, or spreads its words over a dome.
