Calm pinball for iPhone and iPad
A pinball table you unfold.
Six calm pinball tables and a duel for two, drawn in lines of light on near black. Foldball runs on every iPhone and iPad and is at its best on the iPhone Duo. Half-folded, it stands on the table like a small laptop and becomes a pinball table; opened flat, it becomes a duel for two.
Orbit and the duel table Ponk are free. The other five tables and three duel tables are $3.99 together, once.

On the iPhone Duo
The playfield below, the wall above
Foldball started with a question: what can you do with the hinge of the iPhone Duo that a flat phone can't? Stand the Duo half-folded on the table like a small laptop. The flat half is the playfield, the standing half is a steep wall you flip the ball up. The ball is drawn where it would really be on the bent surface. Folded shut, Foldball plays like on any other iPhone.
The angle
The steeper, the more points
The angle is part of the game. Opened wide, games last longer and are easier, and standing steep, every point counts up to three times. You can change the angle in the middle of a game, and your high scores show the angle you played them at.
On other iPhones and the iPad
Runs on every iPhone and iPad
On an iPhone without a fold and on the iPad, the lower half of the screen is the playfield and the upper half the wall, at a fixed steepness. On the iPad the table keeps the Duo's proportions. Where the screen has room, there is a strip for your thumbs below the playfield, so they don't cover the flippers. There is no steepness bonus here, so these games have their own leaderboards. Foldball needs iOS 26 or later.
A duel for two
Opened flat, it becomes a duel
Open the Duo flat between you, or lay any iPhone or iPad down, and each of you gets a pair of flippers at your end. On the Duo the fold is the middle line, on other devices it is the middle of the screen. You score a point when the ball gets past the other player's flippers.
Now and then a bonus ball rolls in, and whoever hits it first gets its effect: longer flippers or a shield for you, slow flippers or darkness for the other side.
Play to 5, 7 or 11 points or best of three, against someone at the table or against the computer at three levels. For three or four players at one device there is a tournament.
Four duel tables
- Ponk Free Like Pong, but with flippers. After 10 crossings two more balls come in.
- Castles Each side has a tower of four layers. Clear your opponent's tower and their gate is open for 10 seconds.
- Chaos A new bonus ball comes every 6 seconds.
- Magnets Your magnet holds the ball until you tap a flipper.
Six tables
Each table has its own trick
- Orbit Free A loop over the top, lanes and bumpers.
- Magnet A magnet holds the ball, and you shoot it at a target.
- Wormhole Two holes that send the ball to the top.
- Double A second flipper up on the wall, and a ramp that brings the ball to it.
- Pendulum A pendulum on the wall that swings faster the steeper the Duo stands.
- Castle Break down the castle's gate, then shoot inside.
How it plays
Pull back, aim and let go
Hit the blinking lane at launch for a skill shot. Every table has three goals that start multiball, and each time you reach them the table moves up a stage, with harder goals. At the top waits the grand finale, a multiball in which every point counts five times. Every table also has five stars to earn.
Push the device and the ball moves like on a real table, but push too hard and it tilts. Calm music plays along, made live as you play, and it never sounds the same twice.
Daily challenge
A table with a twist, every day
Each day brings one table and one extra rule, such as small flippers or a mini ball. Both are the same for everyone, and the challenge has its own leaderboard.
Leaderboards
Where you stand
Every table keeps your best games on your device. With Game Center you also see, right in the game, where you stand among your friends and worldwide, of all time or this week. Game Center is optional.

The name
Why “Foldball”?
The other hyperzero apps have Italian names; a game doesn't need one. To fold is what the Duo does, and Foldball is the ball on the folded screen.
FAQ · As of: November 2026
Quick answers
- Do I need an iPhone Duo?
- No. Foldball runs on every iPhone and iPad with iOS 26 or later. On the Duo you set the wall as steep as you like, and it scores up to three times the points. On other iPhones and on the iPad the wall has a fixed steepness, and those games have their own leaderboards.
- Can I play with someone else?
- Yes, in the duel. Two people play against each other on one device, each with two flippers at their end. For that you open the Duo flat, or lay an iPhone or iPad flat on the table. On your own you play the duel against the computer, and for three or four people there is a tournament.
- What does Foldball cost?
- The download is free. Orbit is free to play with all its goals and stars, and so is the duel table Ponk. The other five tables and three duel tables open with a single purchase, “All Tables”, $3.99 once. There is no subscription.
- What is the daily challenge?
- Every day brings one table with one extra rule, the same for everyone and with a leaderboard of its own. It runs on the tables you have. If the day's table is still locked, the card shows a lock and takes you to unlocking.
- Do I need Game Center?
- No. Foldball keeps your high scores anyway, on your device. With Game Center you also see where you stand among your friends and worldwide.
- Can I play without sound?
- Yes. In Settings you switch the sound off completely, or turn the music and the sound effects down separately.
- What happens to my data?
- High scores, settings, and the names and tallies from the duel stay on your device, and Foldball opens no internet connections of its own. If you're signed in to Game Center, your scores go to Apple. Apple also handles the purchase, and hyperzero receives no data about you.
