Rally is a circular paddle-and-ball game for one thumb. A ball bounces around inside a round arena and your paddle never stops sliding along the rim; a tap flips its direction. Meet the ball, send it back, and watch it get faster with every hit. Centre hits score PERFECT streaks, a bumper appears in the middle, and gold bonus balls show up to tempt you.
How to play Rally
- Your paddle slides around the ring on its own. Tap anywhere to reverse it.
- Get the paddle under the ball before it reaches the edge. Every return is a point.
- Where the ball hits the paddle sets its bounce: the centre sends it straight across, the edges angle it.
- If the ball gets past your paddle and out of the ring, the run is over.
- Gold bonus balls are optional: return one three times for coins, or let it go.
Tips to get a high score
- Pick your direction early: the shorter way round is almost always right.
- Arrived too early? Tap-tap to wiggle the paddle in place until the ball lands.
- Aim for the gold sweet spot in the middle of the paddle for PERFECT streaks.
- Never chase a bonus ball if it means losing the white one.
Daily levels and ghost races
Every day Rally has a new daily level that's the same for everyone. While you play, you race translucent “ghosts” — real replays of other players and your friends. Beat a score, then send a challenge link so a friend can race your ghost on the exact same level.
FAQ
Why does my paddle keep moving?
That's the game: the paddle always slides, and your only control is which way. It keeps one-thumb play fair and fast.
Does the paddle get faster too?
Yes. The paddle speeds up with the ball, so every shot stays reachable if you turn the right way in time.
Is it free?
Yes. Every Tapamine game is free to play in your browser with no download and no account.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Tapamine is built for phones first: portrait, one thumb, and it works offline after your first visit. It also works with a mouse or the spacebar on a computer.
How do challenges work?
After a run, tap “Challenge a friend” to send a link. Your friend plays the exact same level and races your ghost — a replay of your run — to see who wins.
