About Cerkio
Cerkio is a minimalist aiming game. There is a ball, a target, and a set of obstacles between them. You get one launch, and the level either works or it does not. Nothing is timed, so you can sit and look at a level for as long as you want.
The difficulty comes from the bounces. Later levels are built so the direct shot is blocked and the only route is off two or three surfaces. The music and the flat art are there to keep it calm, and they do.
How to play
- Drag back from the ball to set the direction and the power.
- Release to launch.
- Read the bounce, adjust, and try again. There is no penalty for a miss.

Tips
- Aim at the surface you want to bounce off, not at the target.
- Low power with a good angle beats high power. A fast ball loses accuracy on every bounce.
