Wormhole

Balls that fall into one end shoot out of the other, and one mouth (random, changing between shots) rotates, so the exit angle is different every time.

How it works

Two linked portals, one purple and one blue. A ball that falls into one mouth comes out of the other.

Effect on your game: One of the two mouths rotates the exit direction. Which one it is changes at random from shot to shot, and sometimes in the middle of a shot, so you cannot predict the exit angle. It can carry balls to corners you cannot reach, or send them somewhere useless.

In detail: how each part reacts

Two mouths, at least 3.5 bricks apart, that never move. A ball falls in when its centre comes within about a third of a brick of a mouth.
It comes out of the other mouth at the same speed, about half a brick away. If a brick is in the way there, the ball isn't moved and just carries on.
The exit direction is your ball's direction, turned by the exit mouth's angle. One mouth (shown spinning) adds a changing, unpredictable turn of up to about 85°.
Which mouth spins is picked at random after every shot, and each pass has a 30% chance to swap it. A ball never leaves flatter than about 20° from horizontal.
A ball can't use the wormhole again for 0.3 s after a pass.
Loop breaker: if a ball goes through 3 times without touching a brick, that exit mouth turns by 40–85° for the rest of the stage ("Wormhole twisted!").
Balls it redirects count as wormhole assists. It can't be destroyed; bombs, lasers and rockets don't affect it.
Fixed exit (Tame): no turning at all: a ball leaves exactly the way it went in. Wild spin (Challenge): twice the turning. Wide mouths (Twist): 40% bigger mouths.
Show the exit (Twist): your aim line carries on out of the other mouth, so you can see where a straight pass goes.

Tip

Feed balls into the mouth nearest you when the other mouth sits under thick bricks. The spinning mouth changes between shots, so expect a different exit angle each time; the Fixed exit Tame makes it predictable.

In real space

A wormhole is a hypothetical tunnel through spacetime that would link two distant places. Einstein's general relativity allows them, but none has ever been found. Read about it on Wikipedia ↗

Customise the Wormhole: 6 options

Open it from the level card (the hazards row, then this hazard), from the Hazard guide in ⚙ Settings, or from the out-of-shots card. How customising works.
