Six rings stand between you and the centre
Turn the coloured rings until their gaps line up, roll the marker through, and find the shortest way out. No luck, no dead ends — just a maze that always has an answer, and a par worth chasing.

How it works
Pick a ring, then turn it
Every ring owns its own walls and gaps, and each one turns independently. The whole board is the control surface — no tiny handles to hit.
- Swipe anywhere on the maze to rotate the selected layer
- Tap a coloured thumb below the maze to pick a different layer
- Swipe the marker up or down — it rolls along the centre line as far as the open gaps allow
Read the board
The dots tell you what still blocks
Several rings can cover the same wall at once, so a passage that looks open often isn't. The indicator dots on the centre line show exactly which layers are still in the way.
- A dot per blocking layer, in that layer's own colour
- A green ring means that passage is open
- Line the gaps up, then head for the orange exit
Every maze is solved before it ships
Levels are generated, then proved. An exact solver runs over each one and only accepts it if it can find the optimum — which is where par comes from.
-
A solution always exists
Nothing ships unsolved and nothing traps you. You can always work your way out of a position you got yourself into.
-
Par is the true minimum
Par isn't a designer's guess. It's the shortest route the solver could prove exists, so three stars means you genuinely matched it.
-
The same maze, every time
Replay a level and the layout is identical. A puzzle you can learn and master, not a dice roll you have to reroll.
Three stars, sixty-four mazes
Finish at or under par for three stars. One star is enough to unlock the next maze, so you can press on now and come back later to shave your route down. Two guided tutorials open the campaign; the other sixty-two keep tightening.
