How can we help?

Most answers are below. If yours is not, write to us and a human will reply, usually within two working days.

How do I play?

Press anywhere on the field, drag away from where you want the probe to go, and release. The further you pull, the faster it launches. Gravity does the rest: reach the gate to clear the level.

For three stars, collect every fuel cell and clear the level within par (the number of launches shown at the top).

What are the keyboard shortcuts?

R resets the shot, Space fires the thruster on levels that have one, Esc pauses, Enter goes to the next level after a clear, and M mutes or unmutes all sound.

Where is my progress saved?

On your device, in your browser's storage. There is no account and nothing is uploaded. That also means progress does not move between devices or browsers, and clearing your browser's site data for slingwell.space erases it.

Private or incognito windows forget everything when you close them.

I'm stuck on a level.

After five misses on a level, the game offers a hint that shows the start of a winning line, and you can skip the level and come back later. Every level has a verified three-star solution, so there is always a way through.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Once you have opened the game while online, it keeps working without a connection. On a phone, use your browser's "Add to Home Screen" to launch it like an app. The Daily Orbit is generated on your device, so it works offline too.

How do I turn the sound or music off?

Use the speaker button on the title screen or during play, or press M. Settings also has separate switches for sound effects and music.

Accessibility options

In Settings, Reduced motion turns off screen shake and slow-motion, and Colour-blind shapes adds shape cues to the gate and switches so they do not rely on colour. The game also follows your system's reduced-motion setting.

Is Slingwell on iPhone or Android?

The App Store and Google Play versions are coming soon. Until then, the web version plays well in mobile browsers. Leave your email on the home page to hear when the apps launch.

Does it cost anything?

The web version is free to play, with no account.

I found a bug.

Thank you. Use the form on this page and tell us the level (for example 3-4), your device and browser, and what happened. A screenshot helps a lot: email it to hello@slingwell.space.
