Scoring and levels
Points in Fireball Palm come from the code-defined rewards of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 points and more for different actions, so the bigger moves are worth chasing. Perfectly timed or perfectly placed moves earn bonus points in Fireball Palm. Every 700 points you reach a new level, and Fireball Palm speeds up and sends more at you each time. You start with 3 lives. Your best score is saved in your browser, and signed-in players also appear on the Fireball Palm leaderboard.

Tips and strategy
- Don't chase every pickup in Fireball Palm — grab only the ones on your safe path.
- Good, even lighting from the front makes tracking in Fireball Palm far more reliable than a bright window behind you.
- Replay Fireball Palm a few times: each run teaches you the patterns, and scores usually double after the first five games.
Device requirements and privacy
Fireball Palm needs a device with a front or web camera (any recent Android phone, iPhone, laptop or Chromebook) and works best in Chrome, Edge or Safari. Allow camera access when asked; hand tracking runs entirely on your device with Google MediaPipe, and no video ever leaves it. It is free to play; free players may see a short ad between rounds (never during play), and Premium removes all ads.
