How do I play Portal Hop?

Tap a wall to place portal A, tap another for portal B, then press Launch. The ball flies in a straight line; when it enters one portal it exits from the other, out of the wall the portal sits on. Cross the target cell to win.

Which way does the ball exit a portal?

Always straight out of the wall the exit portal is placed on, into that portal’s cell. The exit direction never depends on how the ball entered, which keeps the flight easy to predict in your head.

Is every puzzle actually solvable?

Yes, provably. At generation time the game simulates every legal portal-pair placement on the board and only ships puzzles where at least one placement reaches the target · the exact number of winning placements is what sets the difficulty.

What are the pads and the two-launch puzzles?

At the hardest tier a puzzle needs two launches: the first flight must come to rest on a pad cell, then you re-place both portals and launch again. Finishing within par is the win.

What does Portal Hop train?

Mental simulation and spatial planning · you predict a full trajectory, including a teleport, before committing. It is the classic “think ahead” planning skill, one small board at a time.
