Coreball FAQ
Short, honest answers to the questions players ask most often. Playing is always the best way to learn — the game is right on the homepage.
What is Coreball?
Coreball is a free timing puzzle played in the browser. A small core rotates with pins already planted in it, and you fire the next pin into the gaps. The twist is that the core never stops, so you have to time every shot.
How do you play Coreball?
Tap the screen, click the mouse, or press Space to launch the pin that waits below the core. If it lands without touching an existing pin it attaches and rotates with the core. Place every pin required by the level to win. After a failed shot you can tap anywhere to restart the level instantly.
Is Coreball free?
Yes. Coreball is free to play online in your browser with no registration, no login, and no download. Advertising may appear outside the game area.
Can I play Coreball on mobile?
Yes. Coreball is optimized for phones and tablets and supports touch controls on iPhone Safari and Android Chrome.
How many levels are there?
500. Every level starts with pins already inserted and has a fixed, reproducible layout, so you can practice any unlocked level as often as you like.
Does Coreball save my progress?
Yes — the game stores your highest unlocked level and sound setting in your browser's local storage on that device. Clearing your browser data resets progress.
Why did I hit a pin although the gap looked wide enough?
Collisions are checked precisely against both the pin heads and their shafts, and the core keeps rotating while your pin flies. Aim when your chosen gap is lined up with the dashed shot path, and remember the pin needs a moment to travel.
Is this the official Coreball?
No. CoreBall is an independent fan-made game inspired by classic Coreball-style gameplay. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any original publisher or website.
