Keep It Steady!

Keep It Steady! is a physics-based game where you tilt the left and right sides of a paddle or platform to control a ball resting on it. Guide the ball into a randomly selected glowing hole to score points while avoiding the unlit holes. The game has five modes: Classic, Endless, Climb, Phantom and Speedball. Climb and Phantom each have sub-modes.

Game modes

In Classic, you tilt the paddle’s sides to roll the ball into the glowing hole. Rolling into a black, unlit hole costs a life, and losing too many lives ends the game.

In Endless, you play the Classic-style game without an end, with a timer tracking how long you last. The mode lets you build scores beyond those possible in Classic or Speedball; your score and the time taken to reach it appear on the leaderboard.

In Climb, you avoid every hole for as long as possible. The holes move up, down, left or right and speed up over time. Touching one costs a life, and losing too many ends the game. Your goal is to survive for the best time.

Climb Point is a Climb sub-mode. A randomly selected glowing hole moves downward with the other holes, which come only from the top and travel down. Missing the glowing hole selects another one. Stay alive and hit glowing holes to increase your score.

Phantom follows Classic’s gameplay, but the selected sub-mode makes one kind of object—the ball, paddle or holes—flicker and disappear briefly before reappearing.

Speedball follows Classic’s rules, but points depend on how fast the ball enters the correct hole. A slow shot earns no points; the available scores are 0, 1, 2, 3 and 5, with 5 requiring the ball to move incredibly fast.

High score boards

Each mode has an online and a local high score board. The online boards let you compete for the top score in one or all modes, while the local boards let people using the same device compete with one another.
