How to Play Archlets

A block puzzle game where the board is a ring — and it spins.

The Basics

Blocks fall from the top of the screen toward a circular ring divided into 20 segments. When a piece lands, its blocks fill into the ring from the outer edge inward. Your job is to spin the ring to line up segments so same-colored blocks stack together — then clear them before the ring fills up.

Clearing Blocks

When 10 or more consecutive ring segments are filled with blocks of the same color, that run clears. Cleared blocks explode off the ring and you earn points. Chain multiple clears to charge your bomb faster.

The ghost (semi-transparent) preview shows exactly where the falling piece will land — use it to plan your drops.

The Bomb

The red circle at the center of the ring is your bomb meter. It fills up as you clear blocks. Once it's full it pulses — detonate it with Enter (or tap the center on mobile) to wipe the entire ring clean. Save it for when you're about to overflow.

Scoring

+10 per block placed

+100 per segment cleared

Every 1,000 points advances you one level, increasing fall speed.

Game Over

The inner red circle marks the danger zone. If any column of blocks reaches that boundary, the game ends. Keep clearing runs to push blocks back and survive longer.

Tips

Focus on one color at a time. Spin the ring so same-color segments are grouped together before dropping.
Use the piece rotation to control which segments get filled — a 2-wide piece covers two adjacent segments.
Fast-drop early in the game to build up bomb charge quickly while the ring is still mostly empty.
Don't hoard the bomb. If two or three segments are about to hit the danger zone, detonate immediately — one cleared ring is worth more than a perfect bomb timing.
