03:00 Eastern Time — the same moment for every player on Earth, so the leaderboard is a fair head-to-head. The home screen shows a live countdown to the next reset. If your device clock is set to manual and drifts, Orbly will refuse to record your score and ask you to set Date & Time to automatic.

To prevent players from rolling their clock forward and playing tomorrow's challenge today, we verify the current date with an Apple server before scoring. Practice mode always works offline. If you're in a spot with no signal, try Practice until you reconnect.

Your stroke is scored on six factors: trace fidelity (how closely you matched the displayed guide), roundness, closure, angular sweep, stroke smoothness, and direction consistency. Trace fidelity does most of the heavy lifting — the closer your stroke hugs the dashed guide, the closer to 100%.

On twist days, an extra multiplier or transform applies based on the active modifier. Speed Limit caps your peak velocity, Tilt watches the bubble level, Goldilocks reshapes the score around a target band, and so on. The full breakdown is on the score reveal screen.

The daily isn't just a circle — every day picks a different twist that changes how scoring works. The weekly cadence is loosely:

• Mon — Classic (calibration day, no twist)
• Tue — Sizing (Tiny, Giant, or Off-Center target)
• Wed — Direction (Clockwise or Counter-Clockwise required)
• Thu — Tempo (Speed Limit or Slow Hand)
• Fri — Goldilocks (aim for a band, too perfect is bad)
• Sat — Flagship (one of six perceptual twists: Jitters, Eclipse, Mirage, Echo, Tilt, Mirror)
• Sun — Boss (a harder twist)

You'll see today's twist on the home tab as a "TODAY · <TWIST>" badge. Tap it for an explanation before you draw. The same circle and twist applies to every player on Earth, every day.

Getting above 95 is genuinely hard and takes practice. Small radial wobbles you can't see on screen are still measurable to the scorer, and trace fidelity rewards staying on the displayed guide. A score above 85 is a solid attempt, 93+ is masterful.

On twist days, the modifier may cap your score below 100 even on an otherwise-perfect stroke — Goldilocks pulls perfect down to the target band by design.
