The rules of the bounce.

Choose an entry amount, then aim your balls at the bricks. Every hit adds one point. Your opponent plays the same seed, with identical brick spawns and starting conditions. The higher final score wins.

No. Your run starts immediately. If nobody has entered at your amount, the second seat stays open. Another player can join while you play or after you finish. Scores are hidden until both players finish. There is no automatic expiry in this development version.

Gem matches have no house fee: the winner receives both entries in full. Two 100-gem entries pay the winner 200 gems, a net profit of 100 gems. In devnet SOL matches, the house fee is 12% of each entry when a match resolves with a winner. The winner receives 88% of the combined entries: for two 1 SOL entries, the payout is 1.76 SOL, the winner’s net profit is 0.76 SOL, and the house receives 0.24 SOL. All amounts in this development version are gems or devnet test SOL.

Equal final scores return both entries in full, with no house fee. If one player forfeits, the other wins once their run finishes. If both forfeit, scores decide, with equal scores refunded. If you forfeit before anyone has joined your match, it closes: nobody can take the seat, and your gem entry is refunded in full; devnet SOL entries are refunded minus the 12% house fee.

You begin with one ball. All balls launch from the same position and at the same angle, with a short delay between them. The round ends when all balls return to the ground line. The first ball to return sets the next launch position. You earn one ball each round, plus four extra if you clear the whole board.

The playfield is 472 × 612 units, with seven columns and nine rows. From bottom to top: ground, rows 1 through 7, and sky. Coordinates are column:row. At the start of each round, 1–7 bricks spawn in row 7, one per chosen column. New bricks have HP equal to the round number. Surviving bricks descend one row; reaching row 1 ends your game. Sky stays empty.

Gems are Ricochet’s free in-game currency. Every new profile receives 2,000 gems to enter gem matches. They have no monetary value and cannot be bought, sold, deposited or withdrawn.

Open their profile from the leaderboard or a match, or find them by name on the leaderboard. Select Tip, enter a devnet SOL amount, and review the recipient before confirming. Tips move your available Ricochet wallet balance to theirs without a tip fee. Sent and received tips appear in your wallet and do not affect match PNL.

Real SOL is not accepted. When the development payment service is configured, your wallet can receive and withdraw Solana devnet test SOL, which is separate from gems. Mainnet stays disabled until the real-money launch is ready.

Matches save after each completed shot. Return to the arena to resume your last saved round. An interrupted shot can be replayed after reload; a successfully saved shot cannot be scored twice. Practice sessions are not saved.

No. The development version has server-verified shots and devnet payment accounting. Public account access, production custody, independent security review, competition integrity measures, and launch eligibility controls still need to be completed.
