Circle of Death

Survive an increasingly crowded orbit by finding the opening in each approaching ring.

How you play

Difficulty 3 / 4Wallet-based scores

Move your player around a circular track. Rings close in toward the track, each with a safe gap. Line up with the opening before the ring reaches you. A collision ends the run.

Controls and scoring

Hold the left or right arrow key, or use the labelled touch controls, to move around the orbit. Your score is survival time in seconds.

Where the difficulty comes from

As survival time increases, rings approach faster, arrive more frequently, and have narrower openings. Changes in gap position force you to choose a direction quickly and avoid overcorrecting. Maintaining an orbit while anticipating the next opening makes this the third difficulty level.

The Arc connection

Circular tracks and closing rings give the game its visual link to Circle and Arc. This is an arcade survival game; moving through a ring does not send an onchain transaction.

Assigned difficulty

Circle of Death starts at difficulty 3 of 4, matching its homepage card. Players cannot select a different difficulty. The challenge increases as the score rises.
