Emoji FlickFree, no sign-up

You and the CPU each have 3 emoji on the board. Take turns picking one of your own emoji and flicking it to knock the other side's emoji off the edge (or into a hole). If your own emoji falls off, it's out too. Whoever knocks off all of the other side's emoji first wins (you clear the level). If your last emoji falls along with the opponent's last one, the side that flicked loses. If nobody has won after 12 flicks each, the side with more emoji left wins. You always go first.

On a phone, put your finger on one of your emoji (the ones with a blue ring), pull it back in the opposite direction from where you want it to go, and let go, like a slingshot. While you pull, an arrow shows the direction and power. The longer the pull, the harder the flick. A very short pull just snaps back without flicking. On a computer, drag with the mouse the same way. With a keyboard, click the board, press 1 to 3 to choose an emoji, ← → to aim, ↑ ↓ to set the power, and Space or Enter to flick.

Each emoji's shape and weight match how it looks. Weight comes from how much area the picture covers, so solid round or square emoji like 🟥 and ⚽ are heavy, while thin or gappy ones like 🥢 and 🍃 are light. Heavy emoji move slower when flicked, but they shove the opponent hard and are hard to push around. Light emoji fly fast, but they bounce off easily. Long or pointy emoji spin or change direction depending on where they hit. You won't know which is strongest until you try. The picker shows a rough guide to each emoji's weight and shape.

It changes every day at midnight Japan time (UTC+9). There are 5 shapes (Circle, Square, Hexagon, Egg, Gourd) and the obstacles are one of: No obstacles, Hole in the middle, Two rocks, Brick wall, Four trees. Every level uses the same board on the same day. An emoji falls if its center goes into a hole. Rocks, bricks and trees don't move (you can bank shots off them). Random practice gives you a new board every time.

Before each flick, the CPU quietly tries out several flicks in its head (not on screen) and picks one that knocks your emoji off without losing its own. Easy: Flicks hard without much thought, and often flies off the board itself. Normal: Tries 8 flicks and picks a good one; its aim wobbles quite a bit. Hard: Tries about 60 flicks, then fine-tunes; its aim barely wobbles. At every level its flick wobbles a little away from where it aimed. Right before the CPU flicks, an arrow briefly shows where it is aiming. Today's CPU emoji change at midnight Japan time.

When its center (center of mass) leaves the board or goes into a hole. If it is only hanging over the edge a little, it hasn't fallen yet.

No. The game is just about winning or losing (clearing a level or not); time and number of flicks aren't counted. Emoji shapes differ slightly between devices' fonts (🍌 looks different on iPhone and Android), and the result is decided on your own device, so there is no shared leaderboard.

Use the Sound button in the toolbar (it starts on). You'll hear the flick, a hit sound that matches how hard things collide, a sound when something falls, and win or lose sounds. The setting is saved in this browser and shared with the other games on this site that use sound. On iPhone and iPad (Safari 17 or later), sound plays even with the silent switch on, so use the Sound button to turn it off if you'd rather keep quiet.
