    Hi guys,

    I am happy to present to you Ricochet Theory, a minimalistic puzzle game. The game is simple with challenging gameplay. I think I've done a better job with the difficulty scale compared to my last big game, Salt & Pepper.

    There aren't any randomness added such as timers or hidden objectives like before, however each of the 80 levels have multiple solutions. The game will likely be released mid-August for $0.99.

    Sorry if the preview video isn't M. Night Shyamalan quality, I'm going back to my roots so I'm trying to do everything myself again.

    I can see that, Okay is a great game however this game has more of a fixed starting point rather than the free flowing style of Okay. In Ricochet Theory, the platforms are at the player's control rather than the ball's path. I have a more asymmetric style with things as well, I feel OCD to not be symmetric all the time. :/

    Anyway, my lower menu was totally inspired by Okay but that developer has a style that I admire.

    The inverse gameplay to Okay seems like a cool idea, cant wait to see it when it comes out!

    77L4FAKJA3MK thank you.

    I really enjoyed your game 'Salt and Pepper' and I like Ricochet Theory as well.


    Minimal design, simplistic and easy to play. The goal is to hit all the bars or platforms by 'ricocheting' from one to the other.
    Controls are easy. Just use your finger to adjust or swivel each bar to the desired positions. Imagine there is a post or screw in the center of the bar, so that you can adjust it, by moving the edges up or down or around, yet stay in place.
    I have only played a few levels, so I don't know if this changes later.
    Smooth and comfortable game play. When I didn't solve the puzzle/level correctly, the level just restarted and allowed me to try again without feeling penalized.
    Ricochet Theory has an addictive quality and is a fantastic game for keeping your brain sharp.

    Awesome, I'm happy you enjoyed playing the game. I plan to do free level updates similar to Salt & Pepper as well. The goal for me and this project is to keep it fun and simple.

    This should probably be moved to the other section.

    Ricochet Theory 1.2 is coming out soon with more levels and tiny tweaks!
