Shelf Drop is an action game played by watching shelves rise on the screen and steering left and right. It needs quick looking and isn't playable with a screen reader alone.
How to play
- The cabinet rises and the pin-cushion ceiling waits at the top. Touching the pins costs 3 hearts and knocks you off your shelf.
- Walk left or right to step off a shelf and drop to one below. Steer while you fall.
- Every plain landing gives back a heart, up to 10. Drop off the bottom of the screen or run out of hearts and the run is over.
- Your score is the deepest floor you landed on. The cabinet speeds up as you go. Floor 100 is the big goal.
The shelves
- Wood: safe, and gives back a heart.
- Belt: carries you left or right while you stand on it.
- Spring: bounces you up. Mind the pins.
- Thumbtacks: costs 3 hearts to land on.
- Cookie: crumbles a moment after you land.
Questions
Is today's cabinet the same for everyone?
Yes. Everyone gets the same shelves in the same order on the same date, so you can compare floors with friends. A new cabinet starts at midnight. Free play gives you a fresh cabinet every run.
How is my floor checked?
Your game sends only the keys you pressed. The server plays them back on the same cabinet and records the floor they really reach, so nobody can claim a floor they didn't get to.
Can I play more than once a day?
Yes, as often as you like. Every run counts, and your deepest floor of the day is kept in this browser.
What's the trick to going deep?
Don't rush. Ride a safe shelf up a little before dropping, so you have room below to find the next one. Wood shelves heal you, so land on them when your hearts are low.
Do I need an account?
No. There's nothing to sign up for and nothing to install.
