A tilting projectile game that can be played by 1 to 4 people and consists of a spherical projectile, 4 rectangular paddles, 4 paddle tilting assemblies and a base. The paddle tilting assemblies connect the paddles to the base in a rectangular, 2x2 array, with a narrow gap separating the interior edges of the paddles. The paddle tilting assemblies enable each paddle to be individually tilted in any direction while preventing the paddles from touching each other. Rails on the outer edges of the paddles form a rail along the perimeter of the 2x2 paddle array that is used both to control the movement of the spherical projectile and to prevent the projectile from falling off the outer edges of the paddles. Each paddle has one or more holes, which are large enough for the projectile to pass through, and the base is shaped to channel the spherical projectile into retrieval areas at the ends of the base after the projectile has fallen below the paddles. A control knob attached to the outer side of each paddle's rail is used to maneuver the paddle. Each player holds the control knob of one or two paddles and by raising, lowering and/or turning the control knobs they can control the motion of the paddle and of the projectile when it is on their paddles and cause it to roll or jump from one paddle to another. The object of the game is for opposing players to cause the projectile to drop under their opponent's paddle, either by having the projectile drop through a hole in the opponent's paddle or pass under an edge of the opponent's paddle. A player wins when that goal is accomplished a given number of times.
