Circularmatrix: Spin the Rings and Free Them One by One
📚 Game Guides: games picked by genre, one page each
What is Circularmatrix?
Rings sit nested inside one another on screen, locked together. You spin the ring you can turn until its opening lines up, then let the rings slip out in order. A counter ticks above you, so thinking and moving fast have to be kept in balance.
How to play
Turn the ring that rotates and bring its gap round to the side the locked ring needs to leave from. Once the opening sits in the right place, that ring breaks loose and disappears from the screen. Free every ring before the counter runs down and the level is yours; let it empty and the same arrangement comes back. Because the rings overlap there is usually a single correct order: the inner one waits until the outer one is loose.

Tips
- Before you spin anything, find the ring that nothing is holding; the solution always starts there.
- Spinning at random because of the counter wastes the most time; a two second look beats a full rotation.
- If a ring will not come free the fault is usually the one sitting on top of it, so clear that first.
