The parlour game that came before pinball. Draw back the plunger, let go, and watch your marble race round the arch, rattle through the nails and drop into the 250. Or not.
Every board is simulated marble by marble and nail by nail, so every shot plays out the way it would on the real thing. And every table keeps its own leaderboard, because a 500 on one board isn't a 250 on another.
Green paint, red holes and a 250 that everyone remembers hitting exactly once.
Mahogany, baize, brass bells and the dreaded ×2.
Teal enamel, gilt scrollwork and ringing brass mushrooms.
French polish, nests of brass pins and numbers laid in gold.
Depression-era tinplate with a 1000 at the heart of every star.
Find a gap, find a boundary, chase the century.
Free kicks, corners, a penalty for 150 and a goal for 200.
The toy-shop window classic, with four rings of nails that decide each marble's fate.
Ringed planets, a rocket lift-off and slots that pay more for every marble you stack.
Drag down anywhere to draw back the plunger. A gentle shot curls off the arch early; a full-power shot races all the way round. And like a real spring, no two launches are quite the same.
Holes are for keeps, but a fast marble rattles straight across.
Cups pay while a marble rests inside, until the next marble knocks it out.
Bells ring for bonus points every time they're struck.
Doubles your whole score, including every point you score after it.
Free Ball holes give your marble back for another go.
Shake, knock on the back or tap beside the board to nudge it. Nudge three times in a row and you'll TILT. Or turn on Tilt to Steer and tip your device.
Everything is included from the first launch. No ads, no in-app purchases and no accounts to create.
A different table, room and 8 to 12 marbles every day, with a golden hole worth double. Everyone plays the same one, once. Keep your streak alive and challenge a friend through Game Center.
Two to four players on one device. Hand it round the room, just like the board on the sideboard.
Game Center leaderboards for every table, the Daily Challenge and overall, plus 17 achievements, from your first game to a 100-day streak.
Cat's Eyes, Swirls, Clearies, Steelies and more, rendered in Metal right down to the swirl inside the glass.
A lamplit den, a 70s living room, a sunlit Kiwi bach, a Hamptons porch, a candlelit Château de Bagatelle, a tatami room, a summer back lawn and a sparkling poolside. Or let Automatch Room pick for you.
Parlour or Arcade sound styles, haptics for every nail and bell, and motion parallax that makes the board feel like it's in your hands.
45 app icons that follow you to your other devices, retro rugs, carpet colours and tatami mats, and Light and Dark appearance in portrait or landscape.
Your settings and streaks follow you between iPhone, iPhone Duo and iPad.
Everything is included from the first launch. There are no ads, no purchases and no accounts to create.
Bagatelle Ultra is our tribute to the boards that filled parlours, pubs and toy-shop windows for a century and a half.
The game takes its name from a party at the Château de Bagatelle, just outside Paris.
Bagatelle sweeps across Victorian parlours, played with a cue on long baize-lined tables.
The spring plunger arrives, and the board shrinks to fit on a tabletop.
Bagatelle goes on to inspire both pinball and pachinko.
