About this game

The Sun Barque has stalled at the horizon. Six obelisks along the river hold the seals that keep the night from closing over the world — and every one of them has gone dark.

PolyTilt is a pure reflex game. One finger, one rule, sixty dials.

**How it works**

A beam sweeps around a ring of carved stone. Tap the instant it crosses an amber seal and the seal locks: you score, your streak climbs, and the beam speeds up. Clear every seal on the ring before the clock runs out and the dial is yours.

Tap at the wrong moment and it costs you. Grey stone is inert — locking it burns a vessel. Red shards have been claimed by the dark, and they bite harder. Tap between vertices and you lose a slice of the clock instead. There is nowhere to hide from a mistimed tap.

**Six chapters, sixty rings**

- **Reed Gate** — five vertices, a slow beam, room to learn the rhythm.
- **Scribe's Terrace** — dormant glyphs crowd the ring, and the dial starts reversing after every lock.
- **Salt Causeway** — the first shards appear. Reading the ring matters as much as reacting to it.
- **Vault of Mirrors** — the beam turns both ways and habit becomes a liability.
- **Ember Necropolis** — faster rings, tighter windows, less margin.
- **Horizon Barque** — one last ring between the world and the morning.

**Spend your embers two ways**

Charms are bought mid-run, from the bar at the bottom of the dial, the moment you need them — Sun Flare widens every lock window, Steady Hand drops the beam to half speed, and a Scarab Ward soaks the next hit you would take.

Relics are permanent. Vessel of Ra gives you more room for error on every future dial. Solar Lens grinds every lock window a little wider. Pharaoh's Hoard pays out more on every clear. Chant of Ascent makes streaks climb the multiplier faster. Four tracks, fifteen tiers, and every one of them changes how the next ring plays.

**Built to be played anywhere**

PolyTilt is completely offline. No account, no sign-in, no network, no advertising, no purchases, no waiting. Your progress lives on your device and nowhere else. It works the same on a plane as it does on the sofa.

**Also inside**

- A daily offering with a seven-day streak ladder.
- Fourteen medals, all earned from the dials you actually clear — no side grind.
- The Annals: your recent runs, best score, longest streak and lifetime accuracy.
- Readability switches for bolder node outlines, damped feedback flashes and the beam trail — plus full support for your system text-size setting.
- A keeper name and signet mark of your own.

One tap. Sixty rings. Carry the dawn back.
