It probably looks like yet another Flappy Bird clone, but in this game you navigate the fly by swiping your finger instead of tapping. It is much more difficult than it seems.

About

Ring Escape

Features
Read full description

Break through the rings before they close in. Ring Escape is a fast, hypnotic idle arcade game. A ball ricochets inside a cage of nested rings, and the innermost ring is always closing in on you. Every hit chips away at its health — break it, or slip the ball through its rotating gap, and the next ring begins its approach. Let one reach the centre and the level is lost. You never have to tap. The ball fights for you. UPGRADE AS YOU GO • Spend coins mid-run on DAMAGE and INCOME • Earn gems on every attempt, including the ones you lose • Permanent upgrades that carry into every future run BUILD A COLLECTION • Cards you keep forever: Spark burns, Frost freezes a ring in place, Wind drags the ball faster, Prism rains neon lasers, Mass turns the ball into a wrecking sphere • Level them up with duplicates found in chests • Choose a fresh buff every time you level up mid-run KEEP CLIMBING • Hundreds of ranks, each with a permanent reward • Prestige to reset with a lasting multiplier • Weekly leagues and a global leaderboard • Daily rewards, achievements and procedural ball skins SPECIAL LEVELS • ESCAPE — solid rings with no gaps, closing in waves • LOOT — you cannot lose here; harvest gems and keys FAIR ADS Rewarded ads are optional and always start with you: revive after a loss, double a level reward, or claim free gems in the store. There are no forced interstitial ads. Plays offline. No account needed — sign in only if you want cloud save and the leaderboard.
