Six walls.
One golden ball.

Pong folded into a cube. Every wall is open, every hit makes the ball 1 % faster, and a single miss can end the run. Play alone against the clock, or with three players at once – on one screen or online.

3 playersEach player defends a pair of opposite walls. Versus with three lives each, or co-op with one team life pool.
12 itemsShields, fireballs, freezes and decoy balls. Shoot the ball through an item to claim it.
Real physicsAngle in equals angle out, plus friction from a moving paddle. Tested in 100,000 automated runs.

How it works

RICOCUBE takes the four-wall idea of 4wallpong into three dimensions. You look into a transparent cube from an angle; a paddle floats in front of each of its six walls.

Read the depth

The golden ball has a tail that shows where it came from, a real shadow on the floor tells you its height, and a red dot marks the exact spot where it will hit a wall next.

Move to the dot

Mouse, finger or keys move your paddles. Get the paddle under the red dot before the ball arrives and it bounces back into the cube.

Bend the shot

Move the paddle at the moment of impact and friction drags the ball along – that’s how you aim it at your opponents’ weakest wall.

Modes for every mood

Solo

Survive as long as you can. Three control styles: strips on the side walls (easiest), auto depth, or full manual depth with the mouse wheel or two fingers.

Versus

Three players, three lives each, two walls per player. Lose a life when the ball gets past you – the last player standing wins.

Co-op

Defend all six walls together with one shared pool of lives and chase the longest team time.

Training

A seven-step tutorial plus a sandbox where the ball can’t be lost. Set the start tempo from 40 % to 250 %.

Online & first person

Create a room, share the four-letter code, and every player gets their own first-person view of the cube. Free seats are taken by the computer.

Four difficulty levels

From Beginner (+50 % paddle size) to Pro. Every level has its own records, so a beginner score never competes with a pro score.

Twelve items, one rule

Items float inside the cube. Whoever touched the ball last when it flies through an item gets it. Three kinds: help yourself, hurt the others, or throw the whole cube into chaos. Turn them off, keep them for multiplayer, or switch them on everywhere.

🛡

Shield

Your walls block one missed ball and send it back into the cube. Stacks up to two charges.

Quick answers

Is RICOCUBE free?

Yes. It runs in your browser on desktop and mobile, without a download.

Why a closed beta?

We want real feedback on physics, controls and items before the public launch, and we want the online rooms to stay smooth while we grow.

Do I need an account?

For the beta, yes – it holds your waitlist spot, your records, your settings across devices and your place on the leaderboard.
