SHORT Gyre: Spin Ring Maze is a rotating-ring maze puzzle for iPhone and Apple Watch. Six coloured rings stand between the marker and the compass. Turn the rings until their gaps line up, roll the marker through, and find the shortest way out. Every one of the 64 mazes is checked by an exact solver, so a route always exists and three stars means the best possible run. On Apple Watch the Digital Crown turns the rings - no iPhone needed. WHAT'S NEW IN 1.2 - Apple Watch: the Digital Crown now snaps rings onto open gaps and no longer gets stuck. - More free levels on Apple Watch: 1-8 instead of 1-5. - New app icons, with a dark mode version. - Turning one ring several times in a row now counts as a single move. THE APPLE WATCH UPDATE - 1.1.0 - New Apple Watch app: all 64 mazes on your wrist, turned with the Digital Crown. The first levels are free; one purchase unlocks the rest. - Your stars now sync both ways between iPhone and watch. - Remove Ads is now a one-time purchase you can restore on a new device. - A short gesture guide on level 1 shows you the moves. - The board and its text now fit every screen size. WHY IT STANDS OUT - Every maze is solved before it ships. Each level is generated, then checked by an exact solver. A way out always exists from any position, and par comes from the shortest solution the solver found. Replay a level and it is the same maze. - A native fit for the Digital Crown. Turning a ring is the whole game, and the crown is the natural way to do it. Short, self-contained sessions. - Quiet by design. No timers, energy bars or move limits. No accounts. Works offline. Light and dark themes follow the system appearance. - Honest pricing. Free with a small non-personalised banner on iPhone. Two one-time purchases and nothing else sold. No subscriptions, no loot boxes. APPLE TECHNOLOGIES - Native SwiftUI app for watchOS that runs without an iPhone - Digital Crown rotation as the primary input on Apple Watch - Progress sync between iPhone and Apple Watch - Haptic and sound cues on both devices, each switchable - System light and dark appearance - App icon with a dark mode version - One-time in-app purchases with Restore Purchases ACCESSIBILITY AND COMFORT - Marker style (triangle or ball), marker size, gap width and wall dot size are all adjustable - Sound, haptics and motion cues can each be turned off - No timers or move limits. Undo and restart on every level - Whole-board gestures on iPhone - no small handles to hit HOW TO PLAY iPhone: swipe anywhere on the maze to rotate the selected ring; tap a coloured thumb below the maze to pick another ring; swipe the marker up or down and it rolls as far as the open gaps allow. Apple Watch: turn the Digital Crown to rotate the selected ring; swipe up or down to roll the marker; tap a coloured thumb to pick another ring, or bump the wall twice to switch. Dots on the centre line show which rings still block the way; a green ring means the passage is open. Finish at or under par for three stars. One star unlocks the next maze.
