Sacking with Friends.

Keep the circle going

Join a circle of friends. Choose your character in a five-person circle at a coastal overlook, a ski resort parking lot or a quiet Cabo Pulmo beach. Your friends move, trade passes and try a few tricks. When a shared catch goes wrong: “gravity check!”

How to play

Move your mouse near the bag’s landing circle. Press Space or the left mouse button to start or resume a rally. Hold either while moving to keep juggling; release to pass on your next touch. If you hold both, release both to pass. After a drop, press either for a fresh rally.

Your position relative to the landing spot aims the pass away from you. The short arrow shows who will receive it; a centered touch picks a recipient for you. Stand farther from the spot for a longer pass. Keeping control gets harder the longer you hold the bag.

Escape opens settings for your character, location and one of six bag styles, and returns to play. Your choices are remembered. Tab pauses or resumes play. Every rally begins with a friend’s toss after a brief pause.

The Game menu includes sound effects, background sounds and recording. Choose Record Gameplay or press Command–Shift–R to start and stop a silent gameplay movie. The Help menu explains the controls. This is a local single-player Mac beta.

Intel checks passed through Rosetta; physical Intel Macs and macOS 12 still need hands-on testing. Known recording limitation: the first recording after launch on the Intel executable may have a low frame rate. Recording is optional and currently omits game audio.
