About

Ringdown

Read full description

Ringdown is a premium, tactile, no-ads switchboard puzzle game where you race to connect calls using coloured cables before callers lose patience and hang up. You’re the operator and the calls won’t stop. Featured in PocketGamer, who said: “It's rare you get such an excellent combination of simple gameplay and an interesting theme as Ringdown: Switchboard Puzzler… It's a simple but challenging offering that's a pretty exciting new launch". Ringdown is a beautifully crafted switchboard puzzle game about speed, focus, and controlled chaos. A brass lamp lights up. It shows two things: a colour and a number. Grab the matching cable, drag it to the right jack, and make the connection before the shrinking patience ring turns red. Answer fast and you build a combo. Pick the wrong port or let a caller hang up, and the shift starts slipping away. The longer you last, the harder it gets. The board fills up. Priority calls expire fast but pay double. Held calls tie up a line until they clear. And on squeeze shifts, there are more callers than cables, forcing you to free old lines before the next lamp turns red. Compete every day. Take on the Daily Challenge: the same board for everyone, every day. Chase your best score, climb the leaderboard, and compete with friends and players worldwide. Built to feel like the real thing. Ringdown isn’t a grid of flat buttons. The boards are richly detailed, the cables have weight, and every plug lands with a click you feel in your fingers, backed by period sound and haptics. What you get: • The 1960s Campaign: timed shifts that climb from quiet evenings to controlled chaos. • The Blitz: a second campaign set during the London air raids of 1940, with blackouts, bomb blasts, and things scuttling across the switchboard. An atmospheric thriller of a campaign. • Endless: one shift that keeps ramping until you crack. • Daily Challenge: the same board for everyone, every day. • Game Center leaderboards. • A trophy cabinet of career milestones. More campaigns are coming soon. Only one in-app purchase is required to unlock the full Ringdown experience, including premium campaigns, daily challenges and special limited-time events. Pay once. It’s yours. No ads. One in-app purchase. Nothing locked behind more money.
