Our take on Ringer
The focused scoring loop limits the experience to marble combinations, stickers, items, and run-based progression. It gives up the broader activities and narrative development found in games built around exploration or character stories.
What is Ringer?
Ringer combines shooting marbles into a ring with deckbuilding and roguelike structure.
Each round involves combining different marbles to build a score. Stickers can be stacked on marbles to change their effects and create combinations. The game includes 75 unique marbles, 30 stackable stickers, 12 items, 10 boss cannons, 8 difficulty levels, and 5 regions. Endless mode provides a further way to continue the marble-scoring format.
