Play the fold

The lane rests below the crease. The targets stand above it. Change the fold to change the lob, then flick nine balls and chase the double-scoring hot target.

Native Duo gameplay, 26 seconds. Original in-game music; simulator capture has no gameplay sound effects.

Spaceport

Seven cups give every flick a different destination. Pick your line and chase the hot target.

All three machines are included. Earn tickets through play and trade them for interactive toys in the prize booth.

Hardware

New hardware needs people willing to make something for it.

Independent developers have been preparing for this launch. Now we’re working around the clock with hardware in hand, refining the little interactions that make the Duo delightful.

I’m Rich, the developer behind RDub Studios. Opening my Duo and seeing BrainDrain already adapted and working was an amazing feeling.

Pocket Midway was designed with the Duo in mind and was already in development before this weekend. Now that I have the hardware in hand, I’m optimizing it further: refining how the fold changes the shot, how the ball feels, and the details that only become clear on the device.

BrainDrain and dinnerrr are now on the App Store. dinnerrr is optimized for Duo. Pocket Midway is in beta. Different apps, the same ambition: give people a reason to enjoy the device in their hands.
