9 sports games
Nine sports games, most for two on one device or against bots at several levels. Aim at a target in archery and darts, take penalties at a goal of hanging lanterns, pull a tug of war on the drum beat, fence on a narrow strip and race two cyclists on a banked track. Three use real table physics: six-sided pool where every pot must bank first, mini golf where played marbles stay on the green, and air hockey with three goal mouths at each end.
New here? Start with Hexbank (pool on six cushions, where every pot must bank), then Lantern Kicks (light all five lanterns in the goal first) or Banked Sprint (one key each, a standoff, then one burst).

No game matches all of that.
Can I play with a friend on one device?
Yes, in all nine. In the duels each side has its own keys on a keyboard or its own half of the screen on a phone, and the aiming games take turns. All but Marble Nine also play against bots at several levels.
How long is a match?
Mudline Tug is best of five bouts of 50 seconds, Piste Duel first to five touches, Banked Sprint best of three heats of three laps, Tri-Goal Rink first to two rounds, and Lantern Kicks ten rounds before sudden death. Marble Nine is nine holes.
Do the bots get better?
Yes. Each game's bot levels were played against each other, and a stronger level beats a weaker one far more often than not. In Mudline Tug, Piste Duel and Banked Sprint, beating one level opens the next.
Which ones have a daily challenge?
Marble Nine and Hexbank have a daily mode: the same challenge for everyone that day, new at midnight by your device's clock.
