Description
A little physics toy that sits on top of your real desktop. You grab it, fling it, bounce it off the edges of your monitors, dunk Basketball, swish Spongeball until fish run from your mouse, or smash Supernova against the edge of the screen until it detonates. Everything else just works underneath. Free demo on Steam with four balls: Pinky, Basketball, Supernova, and Spongeball. Windows and Mac (Apple Silicon).
