Dropped (Freehand)
Rate itWatch the start of a throw, then call where the ball comes down.
Every day: Five throws a day with one call each, the same five for everybody, under the day's date. New puzzle: Once a day.
Dropped is a free daily physics guessing game from Freehand. A ball is thrown from the left and vanishes near the top of its arc, and you tap the spot on the ground where you think it will land. Five throws a day, one call each, scored on how far your marker is from the real landing.
About Dropped (Freehand)
Dropped is one of six daily judgement games on Freehand, a small site where each game tests your eye rather than your knowledge. Its sisters ask you to judge angles, cut objects in half, balance shapes, count things and feel time.
In Dropped you see only the first part of a ball's flight: how fast it leaves and how steeply it climbs. Then it disappears near the top of the arc, and you have to commit to where it will land, the way an outfielder reads a fly ball. There are no formulas, no timer and no curve to draw, and a replay shows the throw again if you looked away.
There are five throws each day, the same five for every player, and you get one attempt at the set. Each call is scored on the distance between your marker and the true landing point. A multiplayer mode has been added, and an archive is marked as coming soon.
It suits players who like quick tests of the eye and hand such as angle and cutting games, and takes a minute or two a day.
How to play Dropped (Freehand)
- Open Dropped and press Play under the day's date.
- Tap anywhere to launch the ball from the left and watch its speed and climb.
- When the ball vanishes, tap the spot on the ground where you think it will land.
- See how far your call was from the true landing, then do the next of the day's five throws.
- Compare your total with other players on the scores board.
Tips
- Watch the launch angle and speed together: a steep slow throw lands nearer than a flat fast one.
- An arc is symmetrical, so the ball lands about twice as far out as the point where it peaks.
- Use the replay if you blinked rather than guessing blind.
