Turn the rings. Slide the bars. Clear the board. Rotate Rings is a calm puzzle game about untangling. Every board is a knot of rings and bars holding on to each other. Turn a ring until its gap lines up with a clip and the piece lets go. Free them all and the level is done. It starts simple and gets clever. HOW IT PLAYS • Drag a ring to turn it. Drag a bar to slide it out of its hub. • A piece leaves the board the moment nothing holds it. • Some rings are locked by a bar through their gap or by a neighbour's tail. Find what's holding what, and work your way in. WHAT'S INSIDE • 50 handcrafted-feeling levels, from a two-ring warm-up to boards with 30 pieces. • Very different kinds of puzzle: woven ring patterns, symmetric figures, bar mazes, caged rings and a few showpieces. • Easy and hard levels take turns, so there's always a breather after a tough one. • Two boosters for when you're stuck: lightning strikes a random piece, the laser removes the one you choose. They're rare, and you earn more as you progress. • Every level can be solved without a booster. NO PRESSURE • No timers, no lives, no move limits. • No ads. • Works offline. • Your progress is saved automatically. • Sound and haptics can be switched off. More levels are on the way. If you have ideas or feedback, there's a button for that at the end of the game. We read everything.
