Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Rotate The Rings is a masterclass in 'satisfying' puzzle design. The concept is deceptively simple: you have a set of concentric rings with gaps, and you need to rotate them to allow a central ball to escape or to align specific notches. However, the game quickly introduces mechanical complexities like locked rings, geared movements where rotating one ring affects another, and timing-based obstacles.
The tactile feedback is what makes it stand out. There is a weight to the rotation that feels great on a touchscreen, and the 'click' when pieces align is auditory bliss. It’s one of those rare puzzles that feels like a physical object you're tinkering with. While the early levels are breezy, the later stages become intricate logic puzzles that require genuine spatial planning. It’s an elegant, minimalist experience that is perfect for fans of high-quality 'logic-toy' games like The Room or Zen Bound.

Tips & Walkthrough
Look for rings with small icons—these indicate they are linked. When you rotate a geared ring, the linked ring will move in the opposite direction. Calculate the 'ratio' of their movement to find the perfect alignment point for both simultaneously.
Gameplays
The objective is to create a clear channel from the center to the outside. Pay attention to the notches on the inner rings; these often act as keys for the outer layers. Rotation is free, so experiment with different combinations until the path snaps into place.

Repetitive
Mon Apr 01 2024 TinyDogMom*I’m enjoying the game, or have until recently. The rings, arrows and other shapes do not always respond when touched, which can be quite frustrating. The ‘Classic’ puzzles don’t offer much challenge, and the hard puzzles started becoming repetitive after number 60 or so. In the ‘Hard’ category, my lives decrease by 1 for each puzzle I complete, whether I beat the clock or not. After 5 puzzles, I’m locked out for 2 hours. I thought I could buy more lives, but hitting the shopping cart button does nothing. I’ve accumulated an unknown number of points since there isn’t a score anywhere that I can see, so using my theoretical points isn’t an option. I recommend fixing the lives so that the player can keep playing until they actually lose 5 times. I further recommend awarding points for successfully completed games for a chance to buy more lives. If buying more lives isn’t an option, then I recommend getting rid of the shopping cart, because it serves no purpose.
Great Game
Mon Jun 03 2024 25Vader25I’m glad I found this rings game after seeing so many other ones that make you do other stupid things in between sorting the rings. I love this one! Nice colors, calm background, and nothing else besides the rings. My only suggestion would be to give a few more coins when doing the levels that require us to unlock it by watching an ad. Thanks!
Bugs and Ads
Wed May 22 2024 JetsettajoseyI love the concept of the game and I enjoyed the levels quite quickly but as other reviews have noted, some of the levels repeat. That can be quite frustrating because it kills the challenge of getting to higher levels. Additionally, there may be some bugs that need to be worked out in the software. I just tried one of the art levels and one of the white screens to reveal the puzzle underneath was stuck after I unlocked everything atop. Just kind of makes me not want to continue even though I enjoy the game.
Long gone
Mon Jan 01 2024 CometfinderYes, the app is long gone, at least compared to the time it existed on my iPad. I tried it for about 12 minutes, during which I was rotating rings for about 70 seconds and watching ads for the remainder of that time. I am actually spending more time writing this review than I spent with the game. I did, however, get one benefit from trying the game - I learned the name of the game creator, which will help me avoid comparable ridiculous games in the future. It’s a shame, this could have been a beneficial learning experience for youngsters, if they could play it uninterrupted. Not much of a challenge for an adult of moderate intellect though.
Game
Thu Oct 05 2023 Nanna1959I’m trying to play this game but your adds keep messing up . The game is slow and on some adds it just goes blank and I have to shut it down and restart. It seems like I keep playing the same things over and over again . I checked and there is no update , it’s really a shame because I like the game .
The app could be good with ever ads
Tue Sep 05 2023 Antique TeacherI tried this app today and I’ve already deleted it. The app itself is fun. The numerous ads are annoying. I considered paying the $4.99 to remove the ads, but I wanted a chance to see if I liked the app before investing money in it. Unfortunately, I became thoroughly frustrated by the fact that I spent at least 3 times as much time watching ads as playing the app. Entirely too much! Reading the reviews, the developers may be making money now, but are losing customers very quickly.
Could be better
Tue Sep 12 2023 thecrowmomAfter reading the other reviews I decided to just go ahead and pay the 4.99 or whatever to remove ads. It turned out to be a fine time-waster… for about 24 hours. I hit level 210 & started thinking “didn’t I do this one already?” By level 223 I could tell the puzzles were just repeating. I love the concept of this game but I think it could benefit from being part of a larger RPG or something. And for the amount I paid I expected to get more than a day of entertainment out of it.
There are better ring games
Tue Nov 21 2023 ArrowynneThe first many levels are childishly easy. I didn’t continue to play to get to any challenging level. Two important marks against it: (1) I play with my iPad plugged in, and the game will only play in portrait mode with the cord at the bottom (crimped); and (2) there is an ad of medium length between EVERY level, which plays about 3 times as long as it takes to complete the level. You can pay $1.99 to stop the ads. I didn’t pay, so I don’t know if that really happens. I deleted the game.
