Rotate Rings

Objective

The goal of Rotate Rings is to free every piece from the board. Rotate the rings and slide the sticks until nothing holds a piece in place, and clear the board before the time runs out to achieve the highest score.

Setup

• Rings: Open or closed rings that turn around their center. Some rings have an arm with a knob at the end.
• Sticks: Straight, L-shaped or U-shaped pieces that slide along their track.
• Timer: A session timer counts down from the start of the game.

Gameplay

Moving Pieces

• Drag a ring to rotate it. Drag a stick to slide it along its track.
• A piece stops when it bumps into another piece.
• Pieces stay exactly where you leave them, so you can move one halfway to make room for another.

Freeing Pieces

• When you lift your finger, every piece that no longer touches any other piece leaves the board.
• A stick must be fully out of its track to leave the board.

Hooked Pieces

• A piece whose knob rests on another ring is hooked and can't turn.
• Rotate the ring underneath until its gap passes under the knob to unhook it.

Chain Reactions

• One release can free several pieces at once.
• Plan your moves so that multiple pieces leave the board together.

Scoring

Your score is influenced by three main factors:

Unlock Score

• Points are awarded for every piece that leaves the board.
• Freeing several pieces with one release adds a Chain Bonus for each extra piece.

Multiplier Bonus

• Freeing pieces quickly fills your multiplier bar, up to x5. The bar slowly drains over time.

Time Bonus

• Clearing the entire board grants a bonus based on the remaining time on the clock.

Level Completion

• Victory: The last piece has left the board.
• Time's Up: The timer reaches zero before all pieces are freed. You keep the points you have scored.
