PinPoint

Flick a pin into the spinning wheel's only open gap before the timer runs out — every stick you touch ends the streak.

PinPoint looks simple: a wheel spins, a bunch of pins already stick out of it, and you have to toss another pin into the only gap left. But the wheel doesn't care about your timing. One frame too late and your pin slams into a neighbor, snapping your streak and forcing a restart. I lost count of how many times I got greedy, aiming for a tight squeeze instead of waiting for the wheel to rotate a cleaner angle. The core loop is pure tension. You tap or click to release the pin, and the physics are unforgiving. Once the pin leaves your hand, there's no adjusting. The wheel speeds up as you progress, adding new pins at weird angles, and sometimes the gap feels smaller than the pin itself. I had a run where I hit 23 in a row, then got complacent and clipped the edge of a stick I was sure I'd cleared. That's the game in a nutshell: you're always one careless throw away from zero. There's no story, no unlockable cosmetics, just a clean leaderboard (if you care about that) and a local high score that taunts you after every failed throw. I found myself muttering 'just one more' at 2 a.m., which is either a compliment or a cry for help. The controls are one-button, so mobile players won't struggle, but desktop precision with a mouse feels slightly better for threading the needle. Visually it's minimal, and that's exactly why it works — no distractions, just you, the wheel, and the pins.

Throw at the right time, never hit another stick!

Wait for the wheel to slow slightly after a speed boost before tossing. Aim for the widest gap, not the closest one — you'll thank yourself later. If you're on mobile, use a light tap; hard presses sometimes overshoot. Don't chase a high score by forcing risky throws; consistent low-risk gaps build streaks. Turn off music if you get tense, the silence helps you focus on timing.
