Flipsies

About Flipsies

Flipsies takes the bottle-flip trick and makes a daily game of it. Every day has a numbered set of five objects, graded from warm-up to hard, such as a coffee mug, a phone, a tub of popcorn and a fish bowl, and every player gets the same five.

Each object sits on a table. You pull back to set the strength and angle of the throw, let go, and watch it spin through the air. A clean upright landing scores, and landing on the target spot scores more. You get five throws at each object and only your best one counts, so a bad throw early costs nothing if a later one sticks.

At the end you get a result card for the day's five objects, and you can save your best flip as a GIF or as a single photo that shows the whole spin. Objects you land go into a cabinet of 25 to collect.

Finishing the day unlocks bonus shots. Trick shots offers 40 set throws with three stars each, Endless keeps going until you miss, and Free play lets you pick any object, target and scene. It is made by one person and is free.

Tips

• Use the first throw at each object to learn how it spins, then adjust the pull a little at a time.
• Heavy, wide objects need less spin than tall, light ones.
• Practise a tricky object in Free play before the next day's set.
